It take all types and if you are the sort who doesn't overtake a lot, fine. But use some sense and give room in front for those that can go around you.

Unfortunately many have very low driving skill and tend to compensate for this by buying powerful vehicles under the false assumption that the extra performance will bail them out when their indecisive incompetence gets them into a dangerous situation.

400rwkw and brembos (and stripes and badges) are not a viable replacement for three dimensional spacial awareness and operational familiarity.
