and while driving,looking ahead theres miles and miles of congestion,,its safer to zip past them all at a high rate of speed and this is safer--how?

we arent talking about a sunday drive on a country road but on a major highway where traffic is so dense,..finding gaps in traffic is a major chore in itself
on major roads theres ALWAYS someone beside or near you [unless your a special permit holder
]

thats not possible on bumper to bumper highways,,,uunless your a special permit holder where you can race past miles of traffic

what if the car beside you is doing the speed limit?,what gives you the right to pass?
what if EVERYONE drove using your logic?

when others are doing the posted speed limits,,you have NO other option unless you want to fall back in traffic and obey the law.
im sorry if i appear to be ragging on you but your type of logic is the no.1 reason for accidents
but society think their above rules,,laws,,regulations
rules dont apply to them
they must get that one car ahead
nothing else matters but what THEY want
post # 40 REALLY needs implemented
