My schedule was very flexible today, so I was in no rush to get to my various destinations.

Don't try this (in the left lane of 2 or more) if you go to Florida (not that you necessarily would). A new law went into effect on July 1st 2013 in Florida -- if you are going 10 MPH or more below the speed limit in the left lane, then a cop can give you a ticket.
