Whether some knob decides he wants to overtake a car doing 60 in a 70 zone is up to him, chances are he will do over the speed limit to overtake and if an accident occurs, it is because he is speeding, overtaking where he shouldnt have, etc. It isnt because of the other car doing a conservative speed.

Im not a speed demon on the road, i do however inch the speed limit (go over 5-10km's an hour) at my own risk, It is unsafer, the braking distance is increased, reaction time is shorter as well.

Road rage is never the person doing the legal speed limit's fault. If someone chooses to get fired up because a car isnt doing the speed limit, again it rests on his shoulders and should anything happen, he will cop the penalty.

No one will be punished for doing the right thing.
Really? You have researched this or just believe the BS? It has been proven that faster speeds are safer over seas, it's just that you can't make money with 'safety cameras' unless you convince people that SPEED KILLS.
