I agree 100%.
I think we should remove speed limits on rural stretches of interstates (like between Bloomington and Joliet on I-55), create stricter licensing requirements (including real driver training), and take peoples' licences away if they break the rules.
I drive in the right lane and pass in the left. I don't tailgate. In my pickup truck I try to maintain at least six car-lengths between me and the car in front and don't pass anyone going any faster than 85. (I'm not comfortable with the feeling of the recirculating ball steering above that.) I usually cruise at 70-75. Inevitably every trip, I will be passing a semi and someone will come up on me going 95+, and ride my tail until I'm past the semi.
