I regularly drive three different cars, two big-ish (galaxy and porker) and one small (fiat panda). The panda is new to the bert fleet, the previous small car being a rover 25 and not that small (and now liberated by my eldest).

I have been in the panda sev times this week and seen more than the usual amount of bossy driving with a number of die-hard tailgaters and a guy behind me this morning at at T-jcn sounding his horn to get me to pull across the traffic.

My journey is mostly 30 limit and I actually drive all 3 cars pretty much the same, max of around 30, maybe up to an indicated 33 or 34. But i haven't noticed the effect in the bigger cars.

Is that the same as others' experience?

I already have a bumper sticker that says "I've got a biggie", perhaps that is the problem biggrin

Though it does mean that people set themselves for a fall if the small car is faster. And they hate that. wink
Ahh, yes, but as most bicycles are faster than a Fiat Panda, I don;t have that luxury. It just means I need to get my own back when I drive the GT3!

I drive a variety of cars, fat 4x4, my very special old 911, rover 25 (which I love), old Skoda fabia, new Renault Zoe and I can't say I can see other people's driving changing according to my cat at all!

Well that's a big improvement on when you made the OP ten years ago. Must be the calming effect of the cat laugh
