LOL. 

I had a very similar experience today. A person in front of me literally
came to a stop at a green light, apparently to ascertain whether her way
was clear, and then proceeded to roll very gently forward. Being an
impatient Yank, I gave her a beep. She slammed on her brakes, and
twisted around in her seat, with a very panicky look on her face. I was
lucky that I didn't climb into her trunk--I have to admit, stopping and
looking around at me was not one of the reaction combinations that I was
anticipating when I hit the horn...

As for driving the posted limit, yeah, good luck. It's bad enough that
they sign the freweways around here for 55 (!) (in MI, it's 70). Insult
to injury is that most people drive 53.
