Ah yes - passed quickly. In the olden times when car magazines were a thing, they conspicuously added the spec for "passing times" along with top speed, horsepower, torque, et al. denoting how fast one could accelerate from say 50mph to 70mph, in addition to the typical 0-60 times.

I'm old enough to remember that! Plus, I had an older brother who was all about cars. He ended up becoming an automotive product planning manager...
Anyway, in our house, driving like a doofus was verboten. Now it seems it's all the rage. The incompetence and the inattention truly boggle the mind. (This from a person who passed her driver's test at 16 first time out...and in nearly 50 years of driving has never been issued a moving violation...and I drove in and around Boston for nearly 30 of those years. 😉 )
