Exactly. People going too slow are often more of an issue on the road than those going too fast. Last night some clown couldn’t join the a38 fast enough ahead of a lorry but just assumed the lorry would move over for him. Panic braking eventually ensued.lol, a bit touchy are we? No need to doubt my driving skill because I dared to insult one of the blandest give up on life cars ever released. There were multiple times I had to drop two or three gears getting onto a motorway after a short slip road. So I stand by my dangerous comment, at least relative to any car with even mediocre performance. Or when overtaking at 60 you absolutely had to drop a gear or two to make the overtake safe unless the road behind was clear for miles. I remember timing it once to see how long it took to accelerate from 60 to 70 in top gear and it was 13 seconds.
The iX20 is even more dangerous because it is an automatic and very slow/reluctant to drop down a gear. I now know why some of those old dears sit at the end of a slip road like they are giving way. The truth is their 1.1 petrol automatic just ran out of slip road and they had to stop or die
But obviously we are terrible drivers for having this point of view. I mean I bet you haven’t had to tame a 350z either. I missed out on such defining moments
