Absolutely Roger. You have to take the fact that meteors travel at different speeds depending on what meteor stream the originate from. If you research the different meteor streams, many of them have different rates of mph or kph per hour.
Also, meteors that you see early in the evening are playing "catch up" (i.e. they are coming our part ot the Earth from behind our planet in its orbit.)
Once our part of the Earth turns towards the direction that it is going into, after midnight, then the effect is like driving a car into a snowstorm. The snowflakes smack into your windshield.
Hopefully this explains a little bit.
