	How true! In my numerous three hours trips between Calgary and 
Edmonton, I've had I don't know how many people determine their speed by 
my speed. 

	Some car will rip by me at 140 km, pull behind someone then go 
115 km, as I keep my constant ~120 km I pass them, they pull out and get 
behind me, I speed up to see what's what, they speed up, I return to 120 
, they pass me. Repeat ad nauseum.
