On the contrary. If everyone on the road were in a hurry, or at least
had the sense to drive as if they were even when they're not, traffic
would move fast and there wouldn't be a problem. What creates conflict
and problems is the people whose attitude is "relax, I'm not in a hurry
and you shouldn't be either". They waste everybody's time and so have
no right to be there.

Not at all. We're just out to avoid wasting time, and that means not
ever letting anyone who may be one of those "relaxed" (= "sloth")
drivers get in front of us.

front of me if I can possibly help it.
