MetroMPG -

I am definitely in the "go with the flow" tailgater stress excuse category. Your idea is interesting, but for me, I would still drop in behind the slower vehicle. Once I am behind a slow-poke, I stop worrying about tailgaters because they can't blame me for driving slow

. Also, it's easier for me to follow a slow-poke than it is to keep tracking their speed from in front.
