Just to play devil's advocate here, it's natural to speed up in the passing zones, even for slow drivers. The passing zones are usually straight and wide, so it's safer to go fast there. Just because they speed up in the passing zone doesn't mean they are trying to race you or are being passive aggressive. They are just driving faster in an area where they think it's safe to do so.

If you're not aware of the other cars on the road and vary your speed by 20-30mph because you're scared to go around corners, you're doing it wrong. Get out of the car and throw your keys in the bushes.

Obviously I'm not talking about the same drivers you're talking about glatt. People have literally raced me when I'm passing them. That's fucked up and dangerous.

That's the problem with playing devil's advocate. You're advocating TEH DEBBIL!

I was referring to people who do 50 -55 on the highway and refuse to get out of the left lane even when there is a trail of cars behind them.
( I edited my post and cut way too much out)
