I wonder how you can tell the difference between a driver who isn't ;paying attention, and one who's just satisfied with the speed and sees no need to pass. Actually, I don't see how one would dare not pay attention, even with fancy cruise control. You still have to steer, no? Anyway, we're those folks who stay behind the slow traffic because we don't want or need to go faster. If we're not in a hurry, which is most of the time, we'd rather go slower and save electricity, range, and battery life. If we passed that slow traffic, we wouldn't want to go much over the speed limit. We'd have impatient drivers riding our bumper. So we hang out in the right lane with the relaxed crowd and life is good. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
