When traffic is light and I'm not impeding anyone, I will regularly drive under the speed limit by 5-10 MPH, but in heavy traffic I go with the flow. If you're driving so slowly that you think you need to put your hazard flashers on, you are a hazard -- is that a difficult concept?

Wonder why traffic and road rage has gone up the past 10-20 years? People are driving worse, so why are you endorsing that as "better?"

Wow, way to twist my words to portray me as saying that driving "worse" is "better."
Inattentive driving? Sure, that's a problem at ANY speed. I fail to understand how you're equating speeding with inattentiveness.
"
Speed with 90% of the other drivers and their usual amount of (in)attention?" So, you think having a massive speed differential with "
90% of the other drivers and their usual amount of (in)attention" is preferable? If they're driving 15 MPH over and you're driving 15 MPH under, that's a 30 MPH speed differential, which is far more dangerous than everyone driving 15 MPH over.
As to road rage, I think your assertion that speeding causes it is tenuous at best. Speeders aren't going to get enraged at other speeders, but someone who's driving way under the limit (hint).
