[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is this something old people have to do?

Yes. And DVLA haven't got the guts to force them to pass driving tests again either (assuming they ever took one) so they're dawdling around everywhere, 40MPH in a 20, 40 in a 40, 40 in a 60, 40 in a 100. 

That’s unfair. The doddery old fart this morning was doing between 15 to 25mph in the NSL, but did reach a whopping 45mph in the 30 limit on Bicester. Left me for dust. I caught him up at a roundabout, as he had to wait for traffic to approach before he could pull out.

There's only one place where they manage to gain significant momentum.

Is this an example of  'accelerator-brake confusion syndrome' that many old people seem to suffer with....

Does question the sanity of signing off the new Leaf with only one pedal

At least with two distinct pedals that do opposite things you have half a chance of hitting the correct one hard enough to make a difference...

How does that work in practice?

I believe it's press to go and lift off to stop How quickly you do either depends on how much it reacts... I suppose, being fairy dust powered, it relies on regenerative forces to slow it significantly...

I can see a hundred situations where that might go horribly wrong

.....about 99% of the time when the technology is applied by old people.

Lifting off on an icy bend could be fun

I can't remember if you said that was a good chippy or not....    ....so it might have been a blessing

Applied for mine at a post office on the Wednesday lunch time.
License dropped on the door mat on the Saturday morning.
The only changes was I lost ‘D’ but kept D1 whatever that means
