        Are you trying to suggest that driving at higher speeds is safer than driving at lower speeds? Because that goes against the laws of physics

          That is exactly what I’m suggesting. And so are the sources I provided.

          But let me be clear. People who go slow on purpose in high speed areas are a danger for people trying to go faster. I’m not taking about people speeding recklessly. I’m talking people going 60 in a 70 or 20 in a 35. They cause other drivers to maneuver around them which could cause a situation.

      If people pass quickly, then get out of the left lane, nobody needs to brake and start a compression wave

        So an entire third of the road is basically left empty so people can speed?

          Yes? You arrange the fastest cars at the front and the slowest cars at the back, and the whole blob of traffic spreads out.
