Not the point, the point is that these clowns don't get to dictate speed to everyone else on the road----that's what the speed limit sign, determined by a legislature in consultation with traffic engineers are responsible for.


I'm usually somewhere between the fastest driver on the road and the slowest, and prefer not to be stuck behind the slowest.
