You mean that I'm not the only person in the the world with a brain in his head? I'd like to shake your hand. I do this too. Naturally, many morons behind me get impatient, thinking that I am a "slow-ass." Of course, my average speed is the same as everyone else's, it's just a lot smoother. What's really humerous is when someone is behind me, and gets to witness first-hand how my style of driving allows my lane of traffic to travel at a somewhat consistant pace, often completely absorbing what I call a "stop-go" in front of us. Often, the moron, even after seeing what I have done, will STILL be convinced that I am a slow-ass, and desperately try to get around me!
