Speed perception

This is probably as a result of my 2013 stroke rather than old age, but my perception of speed is "different". When driving I think I am doing 65 miles per hour whereas I am actually only going at 45 miles an hour and there is a big queue behind me! 

The other thing is reading subtitles: these seem to change faster than I can read them.  It makes following foreign language films hard.

It is as if my perception of speed is damaged and my brain operates at a different speed.

At one time driving was a pleasure - no longer.
