Passing on a two-lane is WAY different than multi-lane passing and most sensible drivers treat each as a very different scenario. Multi-lane passing: I'll cruise by relatively slowly (compared to the other driver) when noone else is behind me. If I have others tagging along, I might quicken the pass but nothing ridiculous.
Two-lane passing: look, signal, tromp it (how much depends on the road and other factors). Am I 30+ over when passing a semi? You bet! I'd definitely defend myself in court by saying that asking me to pass a slow vehicle at the posted limited on a two-lane is akin to suicide / attempting vehicluar manslaughter.
If you can't control your vehicle at 130, you shouldn't be behind the wheel. I just wish there were more tracks and more ways to teach people the proper methods of handling a vehicle, competently, at 140+ km/h. Then these folk would go out there and realize that they don't need to be doing 130+ in a 100 zone, etc.
