Naturally, this NY resident, who doesn't own a car, was given a Speed for a starter car. No problem—as it turns out people get out of the way when they see eight Bentleys coming at them. As a result, I managed not to hit any pedestrians or guardrails—only the road.
Another cool aspect to the 2009 Bentleys: Adaptive Cruise Control, which uses a grille-mounted radar sensor to monitor the upcoming roadway, If a slow driver cuts in front of you, refusing to yield right-of-way to a person of your class, the cruise control will automatically keep your car a preset distance from it. Best of all, there's a rolling thumbwheel on the steering wheel, so you can fine-tune on the fly.
