Were you both OK, Carol? I've got a forester, too, and, when I was hit head on by a motorcyclist. I had more injuries from the airbag than the actual collision!! It wrote the car off, but I got another because they are so versatile.
I am most comfortable driving at 50mph ish. I live in the Welsh countryside and our major roads are 2 lane and twisty. I always leave a good gap between me and the vehicle in front, even tractors, and I hate tailgaters so much that I wait for a totally impassible bit of road, and slow right down.
I pay my road tax, and have just the same rights as the speed merchants.
The motorcyclist was on my side of the road, by the way.
