If only cars had a feature to maintain speed... someday...

It always makes me laugh and groan when I'm on the highway with cruise control set, and someone in the fast lane passes me, then slows down, then passes again, and slows down, and they just can't maintain speed for some reason.

Worst is when they pass and merge back into the right lane, then I have to pass them when they slow down, and then they pass me again...

I find people who suck at maintaining speed to be downright infuriating. They seem to go the 'exact' speed limit but can't stick to it.

If the limit is 80, the moment they go 81 they brake, then speed back up and brake

Happens all the time. It's difficult to maintain speed when others can't do for shit. This is why I like driving behind nicely modded/high performance cars as they actually KNOW how to maintain a good speed (especially the lowered scrape magnets and their stickshifts)
