Hello wifey!
I believe it’s more a matter of undiagnosed adhd or the like and missing roadworks signs than actual lead feet. Still bloody annoying and expensive.
I'm pretty good at sticking to the speed limit, even if the yank tanks start looking like they want to ram me out of the way, but I struggle with properly taking in things next to the road. I tend to tunnel vision in on what's in front of me and after a few seconds I realise "shit. That's not how driving works. Did I miss a speed limit?". But I'm still a learner and only have a couple of hours, so I guess I have an excuse
(Also I never actually have missed a new speed limit)
You're ok Baku. You're only learning. That's what your passenger is there for, to look around and point things out to you so you can concentrate on the road ahead. The more you drive the more you'll take over that part of the passenger until they are no longer having to.
Yeah. Although it seems difficult to reach sometimes, I like our system of requiring 120 learner hours before proceeding on to P plates
