Oh yes, Even worse: There’s a road I use nearly every work day, that’s 100 kph for roughly 900 meters. And of course, some people are always in a hurry. At least once a year I witness the following scenario:
A truck driver seemingly doesn’t accelerate, driver of a passenger car behind them gets anxious, sees a chance to pass, pedal to the metal, SHIT SHIT SHIT! Because there was a scooter going 45 kph in front of the truck, leaving barely enough space to let the %&$&%$&% car driver avoid collision with oncoming traffic or the scooter.
All for “saving” freaking 30 seconds, if even that much.
Edit: I’ll add that the oncoming traffic in all cases did the right thing and decelerated, anticipating the problem, but one these days it will be another Audi or BMW also with pedal to the metal and there will be blood on the street. If there hasn’t been already, I don’t follow the local news.
