It just shows incompetency and causes undue stress to other commuters.

Seriously, its a public road. The posted speed limit is supposed to be the MAX speed. Just because the majority of people blatantly ignore this and feel you should get out of their way doesn't make them right.
I do like analogies so here goes:
"This is like when a guy gets a DUI and they blame the bar for giving him to many"
"Guns kill people" - no people kill people with guns.
"and some people who smoke think they have the right to do it anywhere regardless of it being harmful and reckless" - this might be a stretch as I don't think smokers are all like that, but its the mindset i'm getting at.
I don't care if 99% of people are shooting heroin because its what your supposed to do. Its not. So IF im doing 55mph in a 55mph zone. Let them pile up. Ill try to break a record of the longest line of impatient, ignorant people who think the have more rights than me.

Is being considerate of other drivers too much to ask of someone ?
or are you saying you don't consider other drivers?
and drive how you want when you want, collecting a line up of unhappy drivers behind you?
I ask because you quote my post like it challenges your driving.
