...Therefore NOT moving with the flow of traffic which
created a hazardous situation.  You can't have it both ways by
requesting that others stay with the flow of traffic when there are a
majority of drivers exceeding the speed limit, then demanding that
everybody speed up when you're travelling faster than the flow of
traffic.

Now, who was driving at a safe speed?
