That's funny ;-) Anyone who can sustain 35 mph would have a good shot at winning a Tour de France time trial, which last about 15 minutes or so. Yes, there are not too many people around here who can do that (without wind or elevation assist).

Drivers who crawl , especially in the left lane, are creating an unnecessary road hazard. And by the way, my "slow speed in left lane" posts are directed mostly at interstates. Locally I usually don't get up to 35 either.
