I know, don't feed the trolls. But I don't want irrational diatribes instilling doubt in anyone.

I feel more comfortable being "meters" away from a car doing 110+km/h than inches away from a car doing 60km/h, which happens often on city streets. In fact, on the highways, I love it when a big rig passes in the adjacent lane, especially on a windy day, because for 6 glorious seconds, you get a really nice draft.
