Why was Johnson driving so fast?


Why was Lyndon Johnson driving so fast when at Camp David? Was it for fun? It didn't seem like he was having any? Was the car behind him secret service, and was he trying to lose them to get a moment alone? I can't figure it out.

It is historically accurate that sometimes Lyndon Johnson would drive fast to let off steam when he was anxious, or to intimidate guests at his Texas ranch etc.
