   As I said, whether you understand that reason or not is completely   
   irrelevant

   Nope. 99% of the time it's because some selfish dickhead believes speed   
   limit laws don't apply to them ... and at least 75% of the time I then   
   either pull up behind them or pass them at some point further up the   
   road, so they acheieved absolutely nothing.

   That would be the other moronic speeders.
