Driving home last night, I realized that I've been getting
upset at people who poke along leaving three or more car
lengths in front of them. Now I have a new view, started
doing it myself. Observed several blokes using the space,
allowing a change of several lanes they needed to do. If
somebody crowds into the space to get ahead, OK let 'em,
drop back a bit. Stop trying to compete for every little
bit of advantage. Much more relaxed driving! And just
as fast really, maybe faster, using Bill's principle.
