Well said Jonathan.
As Mopie pointed out, it's a universal problem. Where I live, there are usually two types of drivers - those that treat the roads as THEIR own personal race track (& you therefore should not be there) and those that are too scared to go anywhere near the speed limit (& often sit in the passing lane).
I did read a complaint in the local paper from one driver a while back that got booked for sitting in the passing lane & he complained bitterly that the cops should be out catching real criminals - and here I was thinking that a criminal is one that breaks the law of the land......
