You're not being safer by driving slower, your base premise is wrong

My base premise is faster drivers being the source of slower drivers being unsafe, not the other way around. Thus the slower drivers are the victims of this, and shouldn't be blamed for driving slower, and definately shouldn't be encouraged to driver faster, just because a bunch of assholes think they're more important than everyone else.

They should be encouraged and enabled to not drive at all.

Slow drivers are a big reason why I want free and abundant public transportation.
