But they do. The assholes who want to go fast will weave in and out of traffic which increases the chances they lose control. Blocking traffic won't suddenly make these people good drivers, it makes them irritable and impatient and more likely to pull even riskier manoeuvres.
Seriously, I can personally attest to seeing people doing batshit crazy things such as passing on the left, off the road, on uneven grass, with one of those decapitate-ey looking cable barriers within 2ft of their vehicle, all over traffic going 55MPH in a 55MPH zone.
