a little patience and consideration is all the drivers need.

As an example, I was on Morse yesterday driving a nice 36-38mp( I know over the speed limit) but it seemed like I was standing still.....so many cars ZOOMED by me!

then when they got to the traffic circles, they either had to stop or sped up to get through.

Just my opinion
I'm not a leadfoot -- ask anyone in my family. During my visits to TV, I stuck to driving the speed limits on Morse, Buena Vista and 466, and I was passed many times. Felt just like I was driving in Chicago .
