If I am already moving at 20mph and someone passes me at about 30mph, that's a bit excessive. If you don't like the slow pace, then get out on the road where you really belong. And if you don't appreciate me hollering at you when you run a stop sign, call the police and report me.
I'm not referring to those who violate the law---they should get ticketed. My point was that authority resides with law enforcement, NOT an individual. I was responding to the concept that someone felt they were out here to "slow people down". If they are speeding, they should be dealt with by the authorities. If they are obeying the law, nobody has the right to "slow them down" any further. I certainly was not advocating speeding or running stop signs, just advocating for the rule of law.
