This is one of the most frustrating things to me. I'll have the cruise set at the same speed for hours on end and begin passing someone that is going 5 MPH slower, and then they hammer the accelerator and match my speed.

The principle of it makes me stubborn. Why should I have to modify my speed just because some Troglodyte drives by emotion? The worst is when passing someone along a limited passing lane and they speed up to prevent being passed. What's up with that?

I don't know what car these people typically drive, but there sure are a lot of irrational motorists out there.
