Why would he be going too slow? If the signed speed is 50 km/h and a chap drives at 50 mph then that chap is driving at 30 km/h over the speed limit.

Reply to ELI5: Why do objects fall faster towards more massive objects if gravity is not a force? Example : the speed we fall on earth is 9.81 fps while its much higher on Jupiter by Effurlife13
Firstly, 9.81 feet per second is a speed not an acceleration. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 metres per second per second. I just dropped out of a University module on relativity. What we experience as gravity is a consequence of how mass-energy curves spacetime. Objects tend to move along paths of least effort, essentially looking for the shortest path through curved space.
More massive objects curve spacetime more than less massive objects, just as a massive ball on a rubber mat curves the rubber mat more than a lightweight ball.

You most definitely can use wired headphones: my Grados have a quarter inch jack. I use an adaptor.

I think miles are used only in the UK, USA, Liberia and Myanmar these days.
