They advised my missus, 35 in a 30 zone, to drive around in Third gear
all the time;!..

Same on my course.

We had this discussion.... I actually do use third for most *built up

engined car. Well inside the torque range if you need to accelerate and
enough engine braking to not speed up on downhill stretches.
