This reminds me of a situation I had last night. I take a 2 lane road home from work. Through town its 45 mph, once out of town it jumps to 55 mph. A black Ford Explorer came up on me in a hurry as I was doing 45 in the 45. They decided not to wait a few hundred feet for the 55 mph sign, so they passed me illegally, through a left turn lane, and swerved back in front of me.

After that little rage incedent they drove the speed limit, 55 mph, for 5 miles until the highway on ramp, I always drive 55 as well, and they never really gained any distance on me.

I think this video demonstrates the severe insecurity and narcissism in our society. People don't really care how fast they are going, as long as they are going faster and looking cooler than everyone else.
