> > Freeways are so much easier than you ever believe when you start learning to drive. They look incredibly scary because you're going *fast*, but after the first time you choke down the terror and drive onto one, you find they're *much* easier than normal roads where you have intersections, lights, vehicles turning all over the place, pedestrians ... the list goes on. On a freeway all you need to do is keep the car pointed in a straight line.

> Right. Never mind the speed limit; just go as slow as you can without the car behind geeting too close... which is generally Speed limit + 10 mph. Which leads to an interesting thought: in metric-using places where they drive like that, do they still go 10 mph over, or (some unit of 5) km/h over? Assuming there is a speed limit, that is.

10 km/h over seems to be a standard around here. I'll have to remember that if this was the US, I could be going 16.1 km/h over the limit...
