I was just wondering about your general driving style. Are you laid back and quite happy to waft along at 65mph then post about your amazing MPG or are you always bouncing off the limiter?

  • Have you exceeded 6000rpm today?
  • Did you hit the rev limiter today?
  • What was the fastest speed you achieved today?
  • Did you get sideways at any point today?
  • Did you wheelspin at any point today?
  • Did all 4 wheels leave the road at any point today?
  • Did you set off any car alarms with your exhaust today?
  • Did you undertake anyone today?
  • Did you make any of your passengers swear to never get in a car with you again today?
  • What was the most embarrassing song you played on your car stereo today?
  • Did you use your mobile phone whilst driving? (texting counts too)
  • Did you damage your car in any way today? (or any other car for that matter)
  • Did you make any mistakes today that could've caused an accident? (pull out in front of anyone etc.)
  • Did you use your front fogs for no good reason today?
  • Have you worn your seatbelt every time you've drove today?
  • Have you drove whilst over the limit today?

Feel free to add your own.

* Have you worn your seatbelt every time you've drove today? (certainly have, always do)
* Have you drove whilst over the limit today? (I hardly ever drink so chances of me driving when I've been drinking are practically zero)
 
* Have you exceeded 6000rpm today? Yes
* Did you hit the rev limiter today? My rev limit is a touch over 6k
* What was the fastest speed you achieved today? 95

* Did you undertake anyone today? wasnt on a dual carrageway or motorway
* Did you make any of your passengers swear to never get in a car with you again today? was alone
* What was the most embarrassing song you played on your car stereo today? nothing really, just my MGMT CD
* Did you use your mobile phone whilst driving? (texting counts too) yeah
* Did you damage your car in any way today? (or any other car for that matter) not that i know of
* Did you make any mistakes today that could've caused an accident? (pull out in front of anyone etc.) took a bend a bit fast and got round it on the other side with another car coming quite close

* Have you worn your seatbelt every time you've drove today? never drive without it
* Have you drove whilst over the limit today? no

i went a quite random long backroad blast today for no good reason, to explain.
 
My style has changed considerably since I thought I was done by a speed camera. I toodle along to get mpg AT the speed limit. I include 2 overtakes today due to muppets doing 40 in a 60. I also had a nice rag on the dual carriageway, got to work with my goal of 35mpg and it was a nice drive. Compared with my rag it everywhere attitude which nearly got me in trouble, 28mpg and got me to work about 3 minutes faster.
