   As with the idiot whinign about Stop signs, there wil be a reason for   
   that speed limit ... whether you understand that reason or not is   
   complete ly irrelevant.

   I said "some places". There's also a variety of other reasons for   
   perhaps not moving over to the "slower" lanes ... including all the   
   impatient morons zooming up behind you, changing lanes and passing you   
   on the "wrong side".   
      
   It's like the idiots who write in to the newspaper here in New Zealand.   
   They whine on about how "slow" drivers are blocking them on the winding   
   country road, and when they get to a strecth of road which has an extr   
   a"passing lane", the "slow" drivers speed up ... well, duh! The passing   
   lanes are in places where it's safe to put them and means the road is   
   wider, so that means it's safer to go faster.   
      
   Of course what these morons never understand is that even thought they   
   zoom past and think they're so clever, the "slow" driver often passes   
   them at the next traffic lights, or when speedy has stoppped at the   
   petrol station, etc. Speeding doesn't achieve anything, except prove   
   how idiotically stupid and juvenille you are.
