I'm in my forties, and was clearly the youngest of the other 23

My mother was caught by a mobile camera doing 35 in a 30 zone. She said
(and this no word of a lie):

I have been driving for over 50 yrs, driving almost every day, living in
seven different countries and five different capital cities and I have
never had even a single accident, my fault or not. How dare they say I
am a dangerous driver who needs to take a safety course?

To which the simple answer is, of course, that it's a "speed awareness"
course, and she was caught in excess of the speed limit...
