I have an index based on the scowl/snigger on cabbies faces. If your spinning out at 35 mph they tend to laugh at you, if your squeezing past them in a traffic jam they tend to scowl.
Laugh - 35-40mph
grin - 25-35mph
blank 15-25mph (they haven't seen you and are about to pull out)
Scowl - less than 15mph
I came across the idea when a taxi driver pulled up alongside me on a long decent and shouted "your doing 40mph!" before laughing and driving off. My legs must have been hilarious on a 69" gear.
