I don't block people from speeding unless it's in my neighborhood. They'll be out of my life in a few seconds. I don't even care if they swerve in and out as long as it's not to violate someone's right of way.

If it's a two lane and you're on my tail, I'm not going to speed just so you can. If I'm in the lane that you want to be in so you can pass someone driving slower beside me, not my problem. I'm not in the left lane unless the person beside me isn't maintaining a constant speed and I need to pass.

I do have a problem with semi's speeding through town and I'll do a little to prevent them from it if it's fairly convenient. Town here is only a couple of miles, so they can live with it. I don't go a long way to do it. Out of town, I don't care. I do impede speeding when I'm in a construction zone. I work in them. I have friends who work in them. I've seen or nearly been the victim of accidents from speeders in construction zones. In this state, if you see barrels on the side of the road it's a construction zone and you are subject to a double fine--and you probably deserve it.
