I saw an interesting phenomena once. It was on a freeway, 110 km/h speed limit, north of Sydney. There was a group of really slow moving cars, 40 km/h? I have no idea what the cause of this was but it meant that cars catching up to this group of cars had to slow down to 40 km/h too. The cars that reached the front of the group could speed up again to the speed limit. So this gaggle of slow moving cars kept on regenerating.

I like when the idiots drop to 5-10 under the limit when they see a cop just sitting there in the median not having anybody pulled over.
