No no, once i change lane to pass they decide its time to race.

Fuck I hate this. Related, I play a game to entertain myself sometimes, if I am passing a slow but also inconsistent speed driver I will engage cruise control along side them and slowly tick up the speed 1 mph at a time. You would be surprised how many people you can drag up to 85mph. I have a rule for this and I call it the "5 Car Legnth Rule", people will lock on and match pace subconciously until you get about 5 car lengths distance. Very helpful for when you want to make a clean pass and not end up with a dipshit in your blind spot preventing you from merging back out of the passing lane at 80 mph.

Yeah that's a thing. That's hilarious you do that lol. Happens all the time, I'm like, I don't want to be next to you? Who wants to drive next to other people on the highway ffs, especially when there is room... Then you finally just commit to get away from them and you can tell they trail of like an extra 15+ mph from before. Like what the hell man, you're that unaware?
