    Silly Sigurd, a Firkin is a unit of volume, attoparsecs/microfortnight is a velocity not a volumetric flow rate.

    Slow drivers should be executed.

    As should people flashing their headlights and not keeping a safe distance because I refuse to go over the maximum speed limit.

    Just let me finish my maneuver of getting past the slower guy on the other lane and I'll move away from the fast lane straight away; no need to be an ass trying to force me to go over the speed limit, because you can't wait to get yourself killed by driving way too fast.

    Beisdes, it doesn't work since that kind of behaviour always impresses me so much that I suddenly start to go much slower...

    People who drive more than 10 mph (16 kph) under the speed limit should be executed, regardless of what lane they are in. People who drive exactly the speed limit should be executed if they are sitting in the fast lane. People who tailgate should be executed regardless of the circumstances.

    Depends on the weather circumstances and the amount of traffic.

    Sometimes I'm happy that it's possible to drive half the speed limit...

    You aren't supposed to go faster than the speed limit, you reckless, irresponsible wannabe F1 race pilot Then there's also the fact that in the dictatorial regime of Belgium there's a speed camera every 50 meters or so.

    No, they should be forced to eat their car while I'm watching. Another good solution would be allowing me to wreck their car with a big sledgehammer while they are watching on their knees.

    People overtaking on the right (or on the left for those countries where they drive on the left side), should also be forced to eat their cars.

    People who drive the same speed as the car next to them in the slower lane should be beheaded and then tortured.

    Clearly inclement weather can alter the rules of the road.

    There are a lot of things that I do that I'm not supposed to. I drive safely at a reasonable rate of speed. The speed at which I drive is perfectly legal in many US states and many other countries. The fact that my state speed limits were created by goddamn fascistic imbeciles does not make my driving inherently reckless. In any case, I accept full responsibility for my decision to ignore stupid laws when I find it prudent. I have never once protested any speeding ticket I have been given; I choose to speed and therefore I accept responsibility for the consequences when I am pulled over. That doesn't make the speed limits around here any less moronically puritanical though.

    Not if the car being overtaken has been given the opportunity to move to the correct lane and has declined to do so. It is not necessary to sit behind an inconsiderate driver for several minutes simply because they have parked themselves in the overtaking lane and refuse to move.

    Also, it is my personal opinion that all automobiles should have two separate horn sounds. One should be a polite 'notice' horn to alert people to something in a considerate manner. The other should be a raging demon horn that tells people to go have sexual congress with their own selves.

    Well none of those actually work. You're more likely to see shooting stars.

    Additionally, if by extreme misfortune one of them does work and catches you just claim the "but the cops are Walloon and therefore must have made a mistake with the camera defence"
