I've noticed that on the freeway, especially in rush hour, the number of cars in the fast lane is at least 10 fold the numbers of cars in other lanes. Every single one of them tailgating the other, but in the slower lanes there's plenty of more space in between cars.

Luckily for me, the rush hour commute that I through is on Interstate 280 from San Francisco to Standford and for the most part has an average speed of around 70mph. I make my 35 mile commute in around 30 minutes.

Due to this high average speed I use my cruise control and set it a 70mph. On 280 it's 4 lanes in each direction and I stay in the middle two lanes. What I've noticed that really irritates me is that for some reason people just love to drive right on my ass, even when there's no other cars around and they could easily go to the right or left to pass. I don't get it? It takes at least 5 minutes for them to finally pull around. Now, I don't know if I'm wrong here, but since I'm not in the fast lane I don't feel that I should get over for them. I doesn't make sense to me.

Oh well...
