Easy one - you measure time compared to your experience. If you have lived 100 years, the next year is only 1% of your life.
If you have lived 10 years the next year is 10% of your life.
But onto my
OP related Why is it.
Why is it that I can be gaining on a car for say 5 minutes, but as soon as I catch them they increase their speed by 10% ?
This used to happen more often in my 360 Chrysler by Chrysler, but also happens in my Outlander with Trailer, and my BF Fairmont Ghia.
The effect is even greater if an overtaking lane becomes available.
In the BF, and in the 360, I choose to overtake on a dotted line rather than an overtaking lane to avoid this silliness.
I have seen cars previously travelling legally, exceed the speed limit by more than 20kmph under these circumstances.
The BF and Mitsu both have Cruise control - I know it is not my imagination.
