> Sorry, but that still isn't a reason to speed. If there is more than one lane, and the guy behind you wants to speed, he will pass you. If there is only one lane, and the guy behind you wants to speed, TOO BAD. If he tailgates you, the worst he can do in an accident is rear-end you, in which case he is at fault.

I certainly believe that one should not give in to tailgaters. I refuse to do that, except, I suppose, should I happen to notice that I've inadvertently slowed down too much. But if everybody on the road is driving 80mph when the speed limit is 50mph, it often IS hazardous NOT to speed. Perhaps not all the way up to 80, but the point is if you're on a crowded road and you're going 30 mph slower than the next slowest car, you're a safety hazard no matter what the speed limit is. "Other guy's fault" in an accident is a good thing, but no accident is better.
