I thought we had road rage problems in the UK. Going by this thread, US drivers are in a state of permanent meltdown.

That's the definition of being a one man, wannabe traffic cop, AKA a road hog.

I understand the law says what it says. I was giving my opinion about it, ie. it's batty.
If the speed limit is 65, and I'm doing 60, the suggestion that I should accommodate others because my speed is too slow is absurd to me. If they're that desperate about a driver who's doing just 5MPH under the maximum speed, how about they
overtake? When did that go out of style?
If I have to actually break the speed limit to accommodate a bunch of nutters coming up behind me, which puts me in breach of the law in itself, in which case I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, then I give up. I would suggest some US drivers take anger management classes.
