People who drive too slowly down motorway slip roads

It baffles me how some people drive down slip roads as if they're on some leisurely drive on a lane through a village.

On 15 June 1996, the IRA detonated a 1,500-kilogram (3,300 lb) lorry bomb in the centre of Manchester, England. It was the biggest bomb detonated in Great Britain since the Second World War, but nobody died because the police managed the evacuate everyone in time.
