If everyone was going the speedlimit then the guy passing was an idiot... but if everyone was going slow they are all in the wrong. SPEED UP. Honestly, if you can't go the speed limit with a few cars on the road, and in perfect weather, then you need to stop driving. It's one thing to go slow in winter when there's gridlock, but in summer when the roads are clear and the sun isn't blinding, GOgogogogogogogog and don't stop.
There's a difference between being cautious, and being scared to drive. Safety doesn't equal slowness and speed is not the devil. Seriously. If you can't go the speed limit on a day like today, when can you? Get off the road if you are afraid.
edit: just to say that I don't think you are unsafe Dion, never seen you drive. Just annoyed at slow people, and dumbasses who do unsafe fast driving.
