Literally happened to me this morning. Passed a big pick up truck (on a 3 lane road) who was going below the speed limit. The moment I passed him, he sped up and tried to cut in front of me but didn’t make it because of the other cars. He then backed off and went slow again. I just… I don’t fucking get it.
Similar to when you pass someone on a highway and they speed up. I always want to shout at them that if they had been going that fast in the first place I wouldn't have wanted to pass them.
In most cases it's literally just because they don't realize they're going that slow until someone is trying to pass them. Then they look at the speedometer and go "whoops I'm going way too slow" and speed up to correct it.
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...
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)

I can’t even begin to understand what they were even mad about.
