I used to know an expert on dragon questions. He lectured me on how Skyrim's dragons anatomically impossibly can be dragons. A real nerd. Unfortunately he is dead, and also managed to accomplish that in a nerdy fashion.

Did he roll a dice so hard it bounced back and killed him (that would be a natural 1)?

No. He went to any length to avoid anything that resembled exercise, ate far too much (and the wrong stuff) and was extremely overweight and already had serious health problems. When most people at work got sick with a cold, it developed into a full case of pneumonia for him. After a week someone at work wanted to look after him, went to his home and did not open the door. The police was called, they opened the door and found him dead.

Nasty - my condolences, and sincere apologies for my earlier flippant comment.
I should have engaged my brain before I started typing, and I can only apologise.

Not much traffic on the way to work today. Even the eggheads crawling to the research center managed only small groups or loose formations. The only obstacle: A taxi on the way to the airport, hogging the leftmost lane and going even slower than the eggheads. A good Englishman, obviously, only that we are not in England.
The speed limit was lifted after the eggheads had successfully crawled off the road, but the taxi kept rolling along, still on the leftmost lane. Not that there were many cars left on the other two lanes to overtake. One, to be precise. A 911 on the middle lane, desperatly trying to resist the urge to illegally pass that slowpoke on the right side.
So I let him in and he was instantly able to convince the taxi to go on with sleeping a little further to the right. And afterwards I had the pleasure to see a Porsche take off and chased behind him as good as I could. A few miles down the road he took the same exit as I and he did not get out of sight. Looks like my car also was happy to run a little.

How do you know the taxi driver was English?

Crawling along on the leftmost lane? There are not many countries in the world where that would be the correct thing to do. Here the rightmost lane would be the place to do that.
Most likely the taxi driver was one of the imprted camel herders, but his inability to leave the left lane made him look like he was imported from England.

If he was a British (which includes those from England) taxi driver, then he would not be crawling in any lane. He would probably out gun the 911.

Remind me, how do English cabbies set their charges? By time or distance?
I think the answer lies therein!

Both. And with an initial fee for getting in in the first place. And a surcharge for bags, other passengers, pink shirts, non-racist comments, or noticing that he is going the long way round.

Maybe, but can't he do that on a slower lane? Here, the leftmost lane is the fastest and intended for overtaking, not that there were many cars on the other lanes to overtake. And when the speed limit is lifted here, it's really lifted. No more speed limit at all, only a recommended speed. For whatever reason, that taxi driver simply was trying his best to be a jerk.

In that case, I should look for some room to install this[^] in my car. I would call it AJS (Anti Jerk System).

It's illegal to go around someone who is going too slow?  What country is that? I think I'll stay away.
