Let others live and they can live or die with the consequences

Most of the time they will be bringing others with them in the "die with the consequences" phase. Speeding benefits nobody, not even the speeder (speeding doesn't save any noticable amount of time at all)

My point is that if you are not in a police vehicle, You should focus on keeping yourself safe and get out of the way.

If I am going the posted limit and others feel like speeding, why is it my job to get out of the way? Whether it's a country road with intermittent passing lanes or a multi lane highway with plenty of lanes to the left, that's their choice to speed but I ain't risking my license because some chucklefucks choose to be hostile to anyone they share the road with

Whether they feel like speeding or running red lights, they're going to have to contend with other drivers who don't feel like breaking the law, and they'll have to choose to either abide by best driving practices or to continue to be careless

I’m not saying you HAVE to. But the safest thing you can do for yourself is get out of the way. Do you want to be right, or do you want to be safe? There’s a reason that it’s called defensive driving.
