Do you know what defensive driving is? Its people who choose to travel at a slower speed and take more precautions when driving in order to avoid accidents. Many people do not understand how to do this effectively.
Your points seem to squarely focus on "stupid retard drivers going slowly" or some variation of that. Stupid retard drivers going slowly get into less accidents than people who drive faster.
What my driving habits are is inconsequential. It is important to understand highway safety and the proper operation of a vehicle in traffic. Tail-gating is harmful. And increases accidents. If you are so late perhaps you should have left earlier. There needs to be more personal responsibility and less blaming the other guy for your mistakes or punishing those that follow the law.
Many states have a law when to block traffic in the passing lane is a ticketable offense. I have yet to meet a person that doesn't know this.
What we have here it seems is a case of those that exceed the speed limit blaming slower drivers for accidents that are more likely to be caused by speeding.
