Gun Control & RKBA

"I have witnessed first hand that impaired and distracted drivers tend to drive more slowly than others."

If that is truly the case, then there should be no problem passing him at the speed limit! Further, perhaps the speed-limited car I propose can allow short bursts of say 5 over the limit in order to pass someone.


In a prior post, I posited three scenarios:

1.) The drunk is driving very slowly, in which case passing at the speed limit is good enough.
2.) The drunk is driving just under the speed limit, in which case the driver behind him can just be content to travel at that rate of speed, since it isn't anything more than annoying.
3.) The drunk is driving at the speed limit, in which case, once again, the following driver can just continue at the speed limit, since he has no legal need to exceed the limit.


"Maybe I'm wrong but I take from your replies here that you consider all aspects of greater speed to be a danger"

Can you name any aspects of greater speed that make it less dangerous than slower speed? Please keep in mind that you always have the option to slow down, stop, or turn around if something dangerous is ahead of you.


"remaining behind that person may where traffic is collecting and becoming denser is not safe either. "

I do not see the logic here. Assuming the other drivers are not also intoxicated, why would it be dangerous to remain behind the guy. assuming my three scenarios above?
