    Same here, set cruise and don’t touch speed again. I also don’t take highways anymore and wow has that helped! The reduced traffic and speeds on non-highway roads makes people substantially less assholy.

    Takes a bit longer to get where I’m going, and some people pass in very scary ways, but it feels so much less stressful overall, so that’s worth it.

      I do the same, it also has the added benefit of being more efficient with your battery if you drive an EV.

        I drive an EV after two successive hybrids.

        I was probably the average speedster on freeways prior to the first one (2007), but ever since have been all about trying to maximize that sweet mileage. Also be less of a menace, even though I’ve always been super cautious behind the wheel, even when driving absurdly oversized vehicles.
