Did they ever think of saving some lives and driving a bit faster?
I've heard this said too many times. Ultimately, it is the driver's responsibility to overtake safely. Simple. If it's not safe, then the overtake shouldn't be chanced. Blaming other people's speed on what is actually inadequate driver decision is just plain irresponsible. I hope the people that can't keep their frustration under control drive themselves off the road as soon as possible, instead of dangerously overtaking or tailgating, endangering the lives of other road users.

True - there always seems to be the annoying driver that slugs along. However, there seem to be even more brain dead idiots that go way too fast and probably don't even realise it until the "unlikely" happens and they lose control, wrapping themselves around a tree - or worse.
