The other day, on my way home from the gymn, I tried something completely new. I drove very economically and kept to the speed limits. I didn't break any of them, except not slowing down completely to 50 from 70 when exiting a road work area.
Now, this was around 19:30, still there were quite a few cars on the highway. I noticed a few things driving this way:
It was boring, though survivable as it's only 15km to drive.
I was able to go in a convoy of other cars at that speed, not having to take over many.
An old man behind me for over 5km had a cow about 50m from a chicane, tried a crazy, rabid overtake, me slowing down to 50, but he didn't make it. It was kind of amusing though, because afterward, he only went 10km/h above the limit, barely overtaking me.
So what did I learn in this experiment?
I'd rather take the bus. If everyone drove like this, people dead in traffic accidents wouldn't be zero, because they'd die from boredom.
