The fun left driving years ago, driving is now just functional. On the vast majority of journeys, attempting to drive faster just means you wait in the next queue of traffic for a few seconds longer because you got to it quicker. The roads are too crowded for what you describe. Not to mention how irresponsible those actions are as well.
Then there is the quality of the roads....
Driverless cars will be the beginning of the end of poor, irresponsible driving on our roads. While these drivers are in a minority, it only takes one idiot to create knock-on problems for others and if you drive a lot you encounter the effects of these idiot actions far too regularly.
For you age profile, I am just starting middle-age.
Quite agree. In my youth I used to be quite an enthusiast particularly for open sports cars which I enjoyed maintaining myself. Those times have passed and I will happily embrace autonomous vehicles. I no longer enjoy driving, in fact I dislike it, I wish I didn't. In the not too distant future non-autonomous cars will seen as quaint things driven by enthusiasts and kept apart from the rest of the vehicle network.
