Current Events > Why is it people only speed up when you want to pass them

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like mother f***** I'm only trying to get around you because you're doing 35 or 40 in a 45 mile per hour zone

then without fail almost always they speed up when you're trying to pass them in a single Lane

My justification is that they don't realize they are slow until you try to pass them.

people are bad drivers who frequently drive in a daze (I ain't perfect and do the same far too frequently to be fair)

As a slow driver, yes it's exactly this. I don't want to be annoying to the guy behind me so I usually speed up a bit (if I'm not over the speed limit already) to be less of a nuisance, lol. I won't speed up if they're in the process of passing me though, I slow down a bit.

Honestly if I'm driving to work I'm letting everyone pass me since I dislike work so much and don't care when I arrive. But when I'm leaving to go back home I'm doing 70 and you best stay out of my way, I wanna leave as soon as possible
