You must mean ever-DEcreasing speed,when some clueless sloth jams things up. That really increases stress and road-rage. I know I have less stress when I'm moving along briskly,and stress increases when traffic gets slowed,and vehicles pack up;a more dangerous situation.(gas mileage goes down,too!) The faster traffic goes,the more cars get thru,and they tend to spread out and relax more,too. It's a shame that speed frightens you. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
