On the contrary, 'S60RDesign' advanced driving is far from boring - every drive is different and an opportunity to hone skills that may one day save yours - or someone else's - life.

Regarding driving in third gear at 60 MPH at all times: the context in which your observer made that comment would be helpful. Some of the cars that I have owned in the past were incapable of reaching sixty in third. Should not one instead drive at a speed which is both within one's own capabilities and those of the vehicle, always bearing in mind road and weather conditions, prevailing speed limit and distance that one can see to be clear, and then to select whichever gear is most appropriate to the conditions?

Regards, John.
