There are all kinds of things that the law says to do that isn't optimal. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't ideological, but realistic and practical. I agree everyone should collectively slow down, not because its lawful but because it is safer. But until they do, I will always pick the safer option over what is lawful. Lawfulness is not a barometer of ethics, its a tool of power.

Nowhere in the article does it say that. Your ego is more important than your own life or the life of others, that tracks with both of your comments.

the core insight remains widely accepted in traffic engineering: deviation from the average traffic speed, especially on high-speed roads, is a significant risk factor.

Certainly it is safer if everyone everyone drives the speed limit, lowering the speed of traffic. But that's not realistically what happens. I'm talking about when you are around other cars that are all going over the limit. The difference in speed between vehicles is also dangerous. When you drive slower than traffic you become a hazard and bottleneck that raises the danger of everyone near you. Better to be alive than "right".

The title is clickbait, its really about difference in speed: https://seasia.co/2025/09/05/driving-slower-is-actually-more-dangerous-than-driving-fast

Challenge your assumptions.

The safest speed to go is the speed of traffic. If the limit is 55 and you are driving 52 but everyone else is driving 62, you are the most dangerous person on the road.

Is the link dead, or is it because I'm on their ban list?
