It’s a thing on longer road trips especially. You’ll pass someone going a little slower and a few miles later they will pass you. You’ll do that back and forth for a while and yes, it is sad when they have to stop playing and go home.
Really? Those people who cant figure out how to engage their cruise control are the bane of my road tripping existence.
Especially when they pass you oh-so-slowly forcing you you to slow down to get in the passing lane behind them when you encounter the next few cars, then they slow down while passing, only to speed up again 2 miles later after you overtake them....
Its about the mildest possible of infuriating, but its like water torture.
Totally this. People who can‘t maintain speed drive me nuts. They‘re often the same ones that speed up when you pass them. Them, and for some reason the assholes going randomly 5-10 under the speed limit but suddenly find the gas pedal on the highway merge and make it difficult to get around them.
Not sure what cruise control has to do with this. Different cars have different acceleration speeds and there are conditions that rebalance traffic based on acceleration like traffic light or a slow moving obstacle. Also if you live in high speed highways there's always more space for variability as not everyone is always comfortable pushing the limit.
there are people who can't keep a constant speed on a flat road. it's annoying to have them pass you only to have to pass them again thirty seconds later. repeat a few times for annoyance.
Or when you have to stop to get petrol or something, and you watch all the people you worked hard to overtake speed by.
