Then there's the opposite extreme, Roger.  That's when you want to relax 
and take the slow lane, and find that there are always a few that want 
to go 5-10 mph under the speed limit.  Up here in the Northeast corrider 
on I-95, trying to blast yourself into another lane to get around them 
is  just as unnerving as bumper to bumper at 75.  Driving seems to be a 
no win situation unless you carefully plan your route and time of 
travel.  Then there's upstate NE .... aaaaahhh ... don't relax too much 
and fall asleep.
