I was just killing time and finishing up an old roll of film, but, with traffic in two directions, it was hard for me to time the exposure to catch one in motion near the center of the frame. >From the length of the streaks, and the speed of the traffic, I figure I >was at 1/20 to 1/30 sec. In the dim light in the car, I just set the exposure and didn't note the exact speed. I have to admit that digital makes things a lot simpler.
