(The patience with people slowing me down happened after a time I was stuck behind a pickup truck going 1 mile below the speed limit in the left lane, a minivan was matching its pace and not letting anyone pass in the right lane, and my fuming turning to amusement when a bit of smoke from the pickup truck wafted back and I became aware the the driver was not smoking tobacco! That changed the situation from annoying to amusing right there. And, well, driving 1 mile below the speed limit if you are smoking something other than tobacco with a used police car right behind you seems to be a valid response to that situation!)

Other than that, I usually follow what you've said! Usually, the faster I try to drive, the more stressful it is for me.
