Not maintaining a speed comparable to the general speed of the traffic around you is more dangerous than trying to maintain whatever the legal speed limit is. Agreed 100%. I drive on two interstates on my way to and from work daily. Normal speed ranges between 70 and 80. Multiple times on my drive home, I've been doing 80 in the center lane and been passed by an Illinois state trooper in the left lane going at least 90. Without his lights/sirens on. -YendorMike Real programmers use "vi a.out".

These folks haven't the brains of a Tse Tse fly, and are guaranteed to screw You up first.. should you have to avoid anything. Is it creeping native dumbth, utterly inept driving schools or just sloth? (and the impatience of the terminally pampered, natch) Hmmm the trunk in my present wheels opens remotely: mayhap a damn Realistic looking LMG (light machine gun) with a big sign hanging from barrel, (side-lit for effect) BACK OFF! ..as the barrel traverses slowly towards driver side.. (Since it would be a dummy - the liability might be attenuated: in case of massive freak-out and another UAV behind.. turning turtle because of a walnut in the road) {sigh} Ashton
