Or your are going down the highway on cruise control and catch up with

Or as you attempt to pass using cruise control, he speeds up.


You are not the only one getting PO'd at that.

My best story though is when I was in the left lane passing. I'm on the
same 10 mile stretch of highway I've been using to go to work for 23
years. I set the cruise at 70 and just go, passing a radar trap at
least twice a week.

One day I'm in the left lane at 70 slowly passing a line of cars in the
right lane. A guy gets on my tail and is very impatient. I made him
wait until I passed the other cars, then moved to the right. He flew by
me and 100 yards later was pulled over by the State Police with radar.



Yeah!

No one is in a hurry to get out and pass in the left lane until you do
so, and then every one wants to get out there and GO FAST!

I'm with you, If I am doing at least the speed limit I'm not going to
speed up as long as I am passing slower traffic.
