"I am better then the law" a$$holes ... the one that thinks he has the right to go as fast as they want.
I doubt you can magically divine the mental thinking of other drivers .... no one here is advocating wanton excessive speed, or driving as fast as one wants without regard to speed limits or safety.
Do I drive and sometimes exceed the speed limit? Yes. Do I drive in an unsafe manner? No. If someone is driving faster than me, regardless of what my speed is, do I move to the right to let them pass? Always. It's the safest thing I can do.
btw, in northern Nevada, school zones are 15mph. In a school zone, I always drive 15. And I slow for construction zones when workers are present. (Although fake "work zones" to promote ticket revenue do get abused by local officials.)
For several years, on US Route 95 between Walker Lake and Tonopah, NV, there was a 55-mph "work zone" that stretched for 20+ miles, almost a total straightaway across the desert floor. I drove that stretch many, many times, over a period of years. I almost never saw any workers, or work occurring, in the entire 20+ mile stretch .... except for the work of the local troopers pulling drivers over and ticketing them with tickets that collected double fine revenue from being in a "work zone".)
We nicknamed that stretch the "double douche" highway.
