I agree with alot that has been said here so far, but ....

The most difficult part of slowing down for me was the mental perception I have of others. Like many of you I felt I was responsible for holding up traffic, I thought I was responsible for pissing people off and making them go around me, I thought I was the problem.

Then I began slowing down and noticed traffic would just zip around me with no issues what so ever, so I continued to slow down to where I am at now, 55mph on any highway I commute on. And I must say in the 2 months that I have been driving @ 55mph, both day and night, I have had only one Cement truck Hi-Beam me during my commute.

SO my advice would be, no slower than 55mph on a hwy whose speeds are posted as high as 70mph and yes most of the drama is in your head ..

Happy motoring
