I react differently at different times. I try to take the Lilith approach and assume there is an emergency that they need to get to and wish them well... but sometimes when it is obvious they are just people that forget it's a public road and not a raceway I will make sure they cannot pass, as long as there is another car I can pace beside. People that try to argue that they need to speed to keep up with the flow of traffic need a reality check. There is a speed limit. LIMIT. As in maximum. Not recommended speed, not mininum speed. By law you should not drive above that speed. One phrase that kills me when I hear people say it... "They could at LEAST go the speed limit." So many people view it as the mininum you should go. Then they bitch about police unfairly stopping speeders just to 'get their quota.' Like there is ANY trouble finding a car exceeding the speed limit. Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying I'm the perfect driver, cruising along right at 60, not going a smidge over. I just get irritated with the attitude a lot of people have when they are out on the freeway.
