50 on a freeway? I think you must not care as much about safety as you
claim to. I'm not surprised you get tailgated a lot. If you really want
to go so slowly, take a surface street. From my observations anything
more than a 5 to 10 mph difference between vehicles causes a lot of problems
and you're as much as 20 mph slower than everyone else.
