I believe what I’m trying to say is that driving conservatively is better than driving without consideration and thinking that the highway belongs to you and you alone are allowed to determine what is safe or not. There are many types of drivers and some just go slower than others. If you get behind one you just gotta be patient an wait for an opportunity to get around them. Safely. Ask any state trooper or highway patrol what is the biggest cause of fatal accidents - speed and reckless driving. It is personal to me - I had a friend and half his family killed by a reckless driver.
And yes I’m on the right forum - been around almost 15 years.

A Hui Hou!!

It isn't that. Studies have shown it's speed differentials, which is one of the dangers posed by slow pokes.

you alone are allowed to determine what is safe or not.

I didn't pass the slow poke laws, they were passed because many people determined that the danger posed by slow pokes was much greater than the danger of others driving fast.

The reason that more and more states are passing these laws is because too many people are being killed by slow pokes.
