Got into conversation about driving with new contractor at clientco who happened to live near me. He said he drove to work at 90mph if he could whereas I said I can't be bothered with the extra hassle, stress, speeding tickets so stick to 7omph. Its 15 miles to approx 2 mins extra I said.
His answer was no it doesnt work like that. It can be up to an hour or more if there is an accident and if hes going 90mph he would miss it and I might get stuck in it if I was behind him.
Now that made my head hurt a bit because its just plain stupid. I did try to explain that yes those two minutes extra on the road did mean I'd be more prone to an accident but it wasnt really that much of a chance.
He also said he ALWAYS speeds through traffic lights on amber because if you miss one, then its more of a delay.
I ended up feeling this person doesn't have the mental capacity to be allowed to drive.....
(although saying that I'm sure if I asked my mrs she'd think the same as this guy!)
