On my way home from work today, the car two in front of me was driving just over the speed limit, maybe going 70 at best, and holding two of us up. Since we were in the left lane, my only option to get around him was to pass him on the right. As I pulled into the next lane over, he started to accelerate, slowly at first, then more rapidly as I started to pull alongside. By the time I passed him, our speed was close to 90. Once I got around and back in front of him - there was a car in the right lane - he immediately slowed down to 70 again. What is it with people around here that seem to take being passed as a personal affront? And why are they always driving slowly in the left lane?
