Really good books on tape. You get engrossed, you have no desire to move fast because when you get where you're going you'll have to get out of the van and you won't get to keep listening. They're really good for traffic jams, too. At one point I was driving to work in traffic, and I was listening to Garrison Keillor read one of his books about Lake Wobegone. You have to like Garrison Keillor, of course, but he was just so mellow that I really enjoyed the daily traffic jam on the 14th St. Bridge into D.C.! But I don't think it's actually a problem. Stick in the right lane, drive at the speed limit, and enjoy yourself. If people pass you, they pass you. If you're on a two-lane road and traffic is backing up behind you, you might think about finding a spot to shift right so they can pass, but otherwise it really is not a problem. I've just driven way too many miles in the past two weeks, from DC to Chapel Hill to Savannah and now to Norfolk, and no one seemed bothered by my speed (or lack thereof). I stayed right, and they passed me. No big deal. So don't worry about it.
