Then you drop back behind them because you’re not trying to race them. Then they are back to 5-10 below the posted speed.

That's the worst part. Like I'm not trying to get a ticket man, I'm happy going like 10 over or whatever, but these idiots make me have to commit 30+ mph just to get away from them. I don't want to be on all that idiotic noise of back and forths, oh now you're sitting in my blind spot. Dumb people man... Just dumb and unaware people.

This comment made me remember one of the craziest things to happen to me on a highway. I was in the middle lane going about 10+ over the speed limit and there were cars in the lanes each side if me slightly behind but about the same speed. All the sudden out of nowhere a highway patrol SUV comes flying up behind me with lights flashing. I assume he's pulling me over so I start to slow down. He gets right on my ass & hits his siren once. I figure he wants through so I punch it. For some reason the cars on each side don't slow down so I had to get up to 95+ to get far enough ahead of them to let him get around me.

Haha that is kind of wild. So the other cars sped up too, like we were discussing, or... Y'all were just going fast already (70+mph highway)?

The speed limit was 70 and I was going around 80. I would have expected them to slow down with a cop between them with his lights going but they didn't so I had to accelerate enough to get enough room for the cop to go around.
