In a lot of states, it kind of does mean this. Many (if not most) states follow the Uniform Vehicle Code on this, which says that traffic going slower than the normal speed of traffic, regardless of...

I have an Xti as well. It is pretty much worn out, and is my backup to a T2i at the moment. I'd rather spend the money on good glass, anyway.
