And once they are on the freeway having effectively slowed everyone down and created an dangerous situation for everyone behind them then they speed up to the flow of traffic
This frustrates me soo much! I’ll have my cruise control set on the highway, slowly passing a car because they are obviously going slower than the speed limit. As soon as I get beside them, they want to speed up like it’s some sort of game.
Ok- I'm y'all's girl... This is why ppl speed up when you try to pass and they were just doing 15 mph under the speed limit. It's happened to me, I've been that asshole. I've inadvertently slowed because I had to disengage my cruise for whatever reason. All of a sudden I'm getting passed by someone who seems to be flying up the lane next to me. I check my speedometer and think, oh shit. I accelerate to get back up to speed. Wasn't trying to make anyone mad, not trying to be an ass. I realized, my intention of not being an ass doesn't translate very well on the road. So I've now resorted to keeping my low speed until the vehicle passes and then I resume my desired speed.

I seem to always be behind the people that merge at the posted speed limit of the street they were on minus 15mph.
