And speaking of cars, here is an interesting news item.
Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding
Quote:
Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the film franchise, drove a blue Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford on the evening of 31 July last year.
Watson already had nine points on her licence before the speeding incident occurred, the court heard.
The 35-year-old, now a student, was made to pay a total of £1,044 at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Jut to put things in perspective, the de facto speed limit in the Bay Area highways is 80mph though posted speed limit is 65mph. I set my cruise control at 80 and drop to 75 for mountain driving, but often hit 90 to pass cars.
My last speeding ticket was around 15 years ago and I drive 40-50K miles a year. If I drove like I do in England, I will probably be banned permanently.
