(2,700 posts)than you would be behind them, since you are presumably able to slow down and not get too close to them.
Furthermore, just passing the guy would be a failure to do your basic civil duty of calling the police and reporting the driver.
Even if you would be safer in front of the guy, you would be EVEN SAFER if you just stopped your car and let him continue (perhaps while you called 911).
As to speed limits and speed limiters, there is still no reason to allow someone to exceed the limit merely to pass one of your example individuals.
1.) If the texter or drunk is driving at the speed limit, then you can also drive at the speed limit behind them. No need to break the law.
2.) If the texter or drunk is driving much slower than the limit, you can pass them at the limit. No need to pass them too quickly where they might be surprised and make a sudden movement.
3.) If the texter or drunk is driving just a bit under the limit, enough to be annoying to you, then I suggest you could still just stay behind them if you do not wish to chance passing them. It's not like driving 23 in a 25 is going to kill you...
