For Your Own Good
Actually, I find the opposite strategy of slowing down to be a productive strategy. Except at my current pace, it seems that I'm slowed to the point of irritating productive, functional people. I've been accused of being passive-aggressively slow, which is not what I intend.
I do feel a bit self-righteous when I'm driving exactly five miles over the speed limit and I still hold up a line of cars behind me. I can feel the anger of those who are tail-gating me. Then we pass a cop car and they all fall back, obviously thankful that being behind me while I was driving slow prevented them from getting a ticket for speeding fifteen miles over the speed limit as a matter of course.
