On surface streets (streets within city limits where the speed limit ranges from 15 mph to 40 mph), I have the same experience, but on highways/motorways, I don't find it relaxing at all because everyone is passing me at relatively high speed differentials.

- u801e 9y agoIs it really speeding if one is going the speed of traffic? Traffic speed is largely determined by the design speed of the roadway, not the posted speed limit. Also, going substantially above or below the speed of traffic puts one at an increased risk [1] of being involved in a collision.
