For some reason the owner of this car has chosen to modify its exhaust system so that it does an impression of a bird-scarer every time he lifts off the accelerator. I'll be honest, I love a popping and banging exhaust when it's done well, but this one has gone so far that it's embarrassing. It's clearly a really desperate, childish attempt to get attention. Newsflash for the owner: absolutely nobody is impressed. Everybody – and I mean *everybody* – thinks it's pathetic. Even your friends. Even those friends who say they like it – they don't really like it. They probably feel a bit sorry for you that you've had to go to such desperate lengths to get noticed in life. And in truth they hate getting lifts with you, too. So have some self-respect and self-awareness and tone it down, yeah? You can get some really nice-sounding exhaust systems for your model of car, y'know.
Oh, and PS: if you keep driving at 40-50mph through 30mph villages in such a conspicuous manner, the busybodies in those villages will campaign to have speed humps installed, which will be a pain in the backside for you and everyone else. So rein it in, please. Save the speed for where the speed bump fanatics can't see you.

Driving at 40 in a 60 between Ashington and Morpeth in Northumberland (no traffic, free flowing, no reason to be going so slow, sunny day, perfect driving conditions), steadily created a tailback towards morpeth. Then proceeded to do 30 at Whorral Bank (a 50 road), and then crawled through Morpeth at 20 (Traffic in Morpeth had died down since the afternoon). Embarrassing. If you can’t drive to speed limits, you shouldn’t be on the roads. Driving too slow is just as dangerous. You fail your test for going too slow as well as speeding, poor driving. Received some nice hand signals from the bloke too.
