OMG, I'm off the floor now. Cars traveling the speed limit in Atlanta are rarer than road rage. In non rush-hour traffic-- which is to say 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.--the average speed on the interstates is probably 80 mph or higher. The rest of the day is often gridlock because of all the accidents caused by drivers speeding and constantly changing lanes.

If only!

I agree with your other comment: "The whole issue of who is being rude when it comes to pace depends somewhat on what you are used to. If you come from a slower paced environment, people who are fast seem terribly rude. If you come from a fast paced environment, the slow pokes really bug you. The slow pokes are then the rude ones."
