This kind of selfish mentality always amazes me, and really explains how America got to be the nanny state that it is.
The speed I choose to drive should be non of your concern, provided it does not endanger you (Constitution 101... I have the right to do as I please provided it does not violate your rights). The only time that my speed DOES endanger you is when you are moving slower than me and do not move out of the way (e.g. Slow moving selfish car in the fast lane). So really, the danger of my speed is self induced - your slowness caused the problem, not my speed.
Furthermore, the Germans figured it out a long time ago... stay out of the fast lanes if you want to go slow. "A 2005 study by the German Federal Interior Ministry indicated that Autobahn sections with unrestricted speed have the same crash record as sections with speed limits." (
