[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2959430, member: 5412"] On our country roads, the ones driving 10mph below are just out cruising watching wildlife or something. Some of them even pull over to let us by. When I had an 18 mile commute to the workplace before retiring, what you described was the norm. Some people think they are road cops or something and need to control the flow of traffic. Two lane 95% of the way, one or two cars, (always the same two) would be driving 55-60 in a 65mph. Pass them, and they would start tailgating. Coming home, we had a three mile stretch of 4 lane. You would see a big string of cars in front of you, join the string and do 55 all the way to the 4 lane, then the "pace car" would speed up to the speed limit as soon as they hit the 4 lane. Used to make me mad, but after so many years of driving that road, I realized I only saved myself a couple of minutes getting home and the anger issues wasn't worth it. Just settled in, turned up the radio and enjoyed the drive. [/QUOTE]
