Yep. Some people know what they're doing and like to exert control over others in some cases. Others are just stupid.
Its the guys who put their cruise control on 1/4 mph faster than me then sit in the hammer lane. Ok, I'll play and speed up and not cut that person off, jump in the left lane and get around the slow guy, then back in the right. A mile later, its the same thing, Mr. 1/4 mph faster is once again next to my rear quarter, and we're coming up on a slow vehicle... 2nd time I'll just pull over; you can either put your brakes on or put the gas on. C'mon, you can still use the gas pedal when the cruise is set.
Maybe not many people drive like I do, but I do speed up if someone's coming down the ramp slowly so I DON'T get stuck or have to do the brake/gas dance trying to figure out who's going to go first when the idiot is at the end of the onramp stilll going 50mph.
I pass 18wheelers quickly and then don't pull back until I've given the truck the 2-second rule space. Same with most cars/trucks. Knotheads cutting in front truckers 30-50' after they've passed has got to be irritating. I look for open spaces to drive. 55mph? Who cares if 20 guys are all playing bumper tag on two lanes? I'll take my chances with speeding ticket rather than play games with a bunch of idiots who only up the stakes 1mph at a time. You want to go fast? Then GO FAST. Put up or shut up.
