The same goes for people who *choose* not to go faster. There are
other reasons, apart from "not feeling able to cope" for going
slower than the limit.


Unfortunately they don't, probably partly lack of skills, lack of
thought and in the case of a person I discussed it with in real
life, laziness and selfishness.

This is true for many people.


Yes, people like that should be done for careless driving.

dangerous driving IMHO.

Rubbish. People who want to drive faster should be able to
deal with slower drivers in a safe manner. If they can't,
they should not be on the road.


ISTR an experiment where cars "raced" between two junctions of a busy
motorway. The car that hopped lanes arrived something like 30 seconds
ahead of the drivers who stayed in the same lane. i.e. was it worth it?

No. The Highway Code says you shouldn't do this. A following
policeman will Have Words.
