60 kilometres per hour is hardly speeding.
If traffic is light or nonexistent I typically drive 135 kph  :blush:

:cheers:

I use to drive fast, then I got the mother of all tickets, so I slowed down.

:(

An interesting addendum may be asking if people have to travel to a different city or not in order to work. For instance, my commute takes me, like Tamas', around 10-15 minutes depending on the traffic and if I take a bus or my own car, but it's barely 2 km long, all of them urban.

2 Cities, 2 Highway, 2 Boulevards, 3 street, 1 outdoor parking.

30 minutes door to door. DISTRICT LINE FTW
You have got to be joking. That's the single most unreliable bit of my journey, which involves one other Tube line and rail.

Why do you live so far away Brazen? Actually that question is good for all of you 1h+ commuters.

Maybe because they already lived there before getting their jobs?  :P

1. Change Jobs
2. Crazy people who look for jobs hours away from their home.

Actually, I live close. My work is just far away.

I dunno. It is about 18 blocks.

Those of you who drive 10-15 minutes - couldn't you walk? :P

Walk 10 kilometers? No way

And you do that in 10-15 minutes? You really enjoy speeding, eh?

I don't speed THAT much :P

On the shorter rural part I do 120-130 instead of 90, assuming traffic lets me, and in the city I do 60-80 instead of 50/30

I own my own flat. To afford to buy, most Londoners live in the suburbs and commute into town. The average commute is 50 mins. Citation here:

My last job was centrally based and about that, but when I got made redundant, jobs were few and far between, so now I have to commute into central London and back out to west London. The drive would be about the same, as it's around one of the most congested roads in London, the North Circular. It used to take me 2 hours to drive 16 miles round that sometimes...

I think that's the road I was on the time our Punjabi cab driver got into two separate accidents while giving us a lift. :lol:

Depends on how the traffic is. Usually 20 or so minutes, mostly on the interstate.
