Learner driver female, micra at roundabout in front of me, expecting slow crawl down nice NSL.

But wait, accelerates away, picks up a steady 55 and drives very nicely round the curves and then smoothly down to 40 for the windy bits

Respect!

Nice to know there are some good new drivers on the way up

Good instructor too possibly...
My instructor always taught me to put my foot down where appropriate, and even exceed the limit if necessary when overtaking etc..
If you are taught to drive at walking pace chances are you always will....

My mum used to complain that I wouldn't use 5th gear on the Windsor bypass when I was learning.

Fourth at 70 made the old Golf scream!
