Reminds me of that Mythbusters. The junior team split in two, one drove aggressively over-taking, switching lanes constantly, while the other stayed in a single lane, didn't overtake, and just arrived as traffic allowed.
They arrived within a minute of another another, and the aggressive driver (who was Grant I believe) reported that it totally wasn't worth all the stress to arrive so close.
People who stress, get upset, and try to maximum their arrival time down to a second are only hurting themselves.
Aside from dangerous driving I try to keep as calm driving as possible, and like to just get a safe distance (4 sec rule) behind a semi on the freeway, and sit on cruise control until I arrive. Even if the space I give isn't massive, a lot of people utilise the space between me and the semi to transition from the fast lane[s] down to the slow lanes/exit, which I think is a legit public service, nothing worse than getting stuck on the freeway because you cannot transition.
