Not even necessarily talking about speeding. If you're driving more than 10mph below the limit, there's a problem here. It's not safer by any means to slow down everyone else because you feel it creates a safer situation. All you're doing is instigating road rage and causing everyone else behind the first driver trouble too, who had nothing to do with the initial situation. Then, human emotion kicks in for everyone, and all aspirations for safety goto shreds.

A slow herd is safe, given if there was a herd. One driver slowing down traffic is not a herd by any means.

Adjust your driving techniques to traffic, period. It's silly to expect everyone to adjust themselves to your car when you refuse to adjust yourself for the rest of everyone else.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
