Best one I ever saw many years ago late night (and I wish i had taped it), was a couple driving slowly on some two lane road, taking in the scenic beauty, and a guy tries to pass them on a curve or some such and gets it head on from another vehicle. A cautionary tale about slow driving, it was pretty funny actually, exact opposite of 99% of these things.
I see a lot of comments on the subject and usually the people that speak out say that slow (speed limit could be slow to them) drivers are the problem. I tend to drive the speed limit for economical reasons and people diss that because they don't see gains in ONE trip. Occasionally I do 5 over but even that is not enough for some people.
Everyone makes their own decisions to tailgate or pass. They are in no way obligated when it isn't avoid any accident they just don't like the speed of the driver in front. If they want to waste their gas they are free to do so. I wasn't born to please other drivers either.
I drive the speed limit religiously and watch my fuel economy on the LCD display. It's safer and I get better gas mileage. No rabbit starts and I anticipate the traffic and stop lights ahead so there's very little waste.
It's been a long time, but I am fairly certain the gist of it was to not be a slow poke. I searched around a bit and couldn't find it. Hopefully it turns up somewhere down the line.
That's not true at all. I hate when I hear this. In reality, if you go for a typical drive, out of the 2,000 or so vehicles you'll encounter, maybe two or three will do a bonehead move. And if you're a good defensive driver you should spot and avoid the mistakes even before they happen.
Most drivers on the road actually drive well. Everyone stops at red lights, drives on the right side of the road, stays at or near the speed limit, yields, etc.
