Am I unreasonable to be annoyed with partner?!

I do feel people are getting hung up on details that aren't relevant.

Welcome to AIBU!

😂 Big bollocks you have there. 🙄

I'd be annoyed. Does he not care if you lose him? Speeding is just selfish on many levels.

Yes I guess so, but I'd imagine the demographic on here isn't confident & competent high speed very experienced drivers.

I'd ask him about it, that app told me my daughter was apparently going 150mph on her push bike a few weeks ago.

I have a real thing about speeding and how absolutely bizarre it is that not only do people not care that they are endangering people’s lives but actually brag about it. In fact, it’s always the ones who point out that it’s illegal that get the stick.

If my husband did that I’d be fuming and depending on his explanation and promise of not doing it again I’d be rethinking our relationship. I wouldn’t want to be with the type of person who would do that and think it was ok. (I’m not saying you should OP, I’m purely saying that’s how strongly I personally feel about it).

The legal limit is 70mph. As said, here in the UK, 104mph would get you a driving ban and a fine.

Sorry this made me chuckle 🤭.

I don't see 104mph as fast tbh.

me an my family track each other to and it’s so useful to be able to see what we are all doing all the time and where we are so we can make drinks for each other and then get annoyed when they get cold before they get home and also I like to see what speed they are all doing and when they are on the toilet for too long so I can get annoyed at them and they do it for me because we all like to control each others every move all the time because THE WORLD IS NOT SAFE it scares me alllllllll the time what could happen if we didn’t have trackers on did you know that you can track your child and see immediately if they are being attacked and use this feature on the app that instantly kills the attacker it’s so safe OMG

It isn’t accurate. I’m a driving instructor and it’s clocking all my journeys including with learners, and coming up with very strange criteria as to what constitutes a safe drive. It’s recording me driving perfectly well sometimes and not recording a safe drive. This is after me passing driving qualifications, I know what’s safe and what isn’t.

I’d like to find out how it’s concluding these journeys but not being mugged by this driving info into paying a tenner a month.

Just had to say how much I Love life 360. My dad always thought my husband was controlling me when we used it (even though it was my suggestion). My dad now uses it and raves about being able to make my mum a cup of tea as she walks back from the shop 😂

Think you are right OP, regardless if if was the app telling you, a speeding ticket in the post or eye witness that is far too excessive, you have checked it was accurate as that was my first thought (i have apps telling me to slow down when stationary) and it is his life and other road users at risk, but also yours and their families that will live with the consequences of his decision. If he planned to break the law in other ways today surely you would want to make him see sense then?

Your certainly not being unreasonable to be annoyed by such a thing. Especially as you mention further down that he hadn't realised the speed he was going which begs the question was he driving with all due care? Driving over 100mph can result in an immediate loss of driving licence which presumably would be a massive inconvenience to him, so could be worth mentioning to him.

😮😂

What a weird brag.

I had this once, definitely my personal best walking speed!

to those being critical my daughter and I had life 360 when she first passed her test and at times would get lost and ask me to help her with directions… we live very rural and maps on her phone / find my iPhone wouldn’t always work wherever life 360 does! Once she became more confident we stopped using it.

We both (and her girlfriend) now share our location with each other on Find my iPhone and we are fully consenting… I must admit the most helpful bit is if I am planning to call her I know not to if can see she is at the gym/ in a uni lecture 🤣 Only awkward thing was when I was first dating my boyfriend (oh you are at his again!)🤣🤣🤣

I’ll still be tracking my kid when he’s 40 😂

the problem with speeding is that whilst the driver may be in control, the other people are going 70mph so the speed difference if they pull out suddenly means not as much room for reaction etc.

I grew up in Germany where there are no speed limits and to be honest it works well. However there were no middle lane drivers. If you were in the wrong lane you were very quickly told about it.
my little fiat would struggle to get to 70mph and you would have people flashing as you were passing a lorry on a dual carriageway 😂
so whilst it may be safe for him it’s what others are doing.

We have that app but it is not entirely accurate. The other night my son was apparently cycling on a certain road. In reality he was in a pub on that road so I can only assume he was either running to the bar or whizzing around the pool table 😂

I regularly drive at about or just under 100. I don’t answer to anyone but the police. If my partner told me off like a child about it; I’d be livid.

Yes, ok, the man in that case was doing 140 mph and was also significantly over the drink drive limit but still

So completely different then? 🙄
