Sloth Kills Two More 4678By reading between the lines, of course. As with most news reports of vehicle collisions, there is not enough information presented to draw an accurate conclusion. However...

Not necessarily. I have actually done this and it works most of the time. Say the slow car is doing 50 in a 60 mph zone on a two lane road where you can't pbutt. If you pull over and wait (or stop at a store for a drink) for 10 minutes they will be over 8 miles in front of you. If you now drive 5 mph over the speed limt (65 mph), it will take you over 30 minutes to catch back up to the slower car. During that 30 minutes the other car could have gone an additional 25 miles. I think is highly unlikely that in 25 miles, the slower car would not have turned off, or moved onto a divided highway where all you faster guys could have blown by.

The proper thing to do is to show patience. I am not sure how long your 2 lane mountatin roads is, but say it is a 25 mile run down the mountain (seems long to me). At 25 miles an hour, it would take an hour for the slow poke to make it. At 55 it would take 27 minutes (buttuming you could actually average 55 on a twisted downhill road). DO You feel it is justifiable to kill someone so you can save 33 minutes? Or is it only justifiable if you and 9 other people can each save 27 minutes each?
People do thoughtless and or stupid things all the time. You need to just deal with. Even joking about pushing someone over the edge on a mountian road so you could save a few minutes marks you as inconsiderate and concerned only about yourself.
