Hey, Andre, you just described me to a T. I've become this way too ever since I started riding my bike everyday to work. Speeding up in traffic just doesn't make sense anymore. You get there a few minutes earlier. Big deal. Nowadays I just shake my head when I'm driving and somebody guns their engine to pass my "slow" driving. Usually I'd take offense to that and try to catch their butt and give them "the Look". I'm glad I'm over that non-sense now.
