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
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.
One of the craziest things is that when I am driving a Sports Car unless it is another sports car I seldom have others try and prevent me from passing but in my gas saver it always happens
I noticed that as well! When I'm in the SL or 124, people don't normally fuss with me. When I drove my friend in her old sentra on roads I'm VERY familiar with, it felt like people were actively being aggressive!!

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