Yes, slow drivers are annoying - and if they drove like that in a test they'd actually fail for being too hesitant - but that's never an excuse for reckless driving. Never. I have sympathy for your father; the car driving out of the blind alley obviously wasn't looking, but the slow driver him/herself wasn't the cause of the accident. The accident was cause by your father's decision to overtake next to a blind alley coupled with the stupidity of the driver coming out of it.
Oh, and I personally have absolutely zero sympathy for people that get caught speeding. Yes, the police occasionally set up roadblocks in annoying places in a deliberate attempt to catch people, but that doesn't change the fact that, by speeding, one is breaking the law. It's perfectly possible to drive at the limit without breaking it.
