Oops....  Brain fart, there

The first time I traveled to Ireland on business, I landed at Shannon around 5AM local, got my rental car and headed to Cork on the N20.  Of course, I wanted to keep out of everyone's way first thing in the morning, so I hugged my lane, taking it slow.  Took a few minutes, a lot of high beams in my mirror and a few horn blasts before it dawned on me that I was in the passing lane doing just below the speed limit.  

Later on, when I was more seasoned as a tourist driver, I realized that, outside of towns where the signs say 30 - 40, the rural posted speed limit is more of a suggestion.......
