> Much like the idea that slower drivers cause more accidents Slower vehicles are more likely to end up in an accident. Speed - accident rate curve is IIRC called Solomon curve. I haven't heard this theory disproved. > this is based on other drivers experiencing discomfort and having to be more careful to avoid the slower car I have heard experts saying that observations indicate that slower drivers cause accidents indirectly. They are usually slow enough to irritate other drivers, but fast enough to make it hard for an average car to overtake them safely, which pushes some faster drivers into dangerous situations, sometimes resulting in accidents from which the slower drivers escape unscratched.
