	Geeeezzzz, I wish more people would abide by these rules.  It's
	amazing how many imbeciles I've come across (especially on the
	401 - only two lanes) that don't.  I'm very careful and have no
	reservations about slowing down before a dangerous situation
	arises, but it's very annoying.  Just because you're travelling
	at 140 km/hr doesn't give you the right to claim the left lane
	- someone (like me!) may still want to pass you!-)
