I'm not even sure if those kinds of people don't consciously either I swear like 80% if the time someone will tailgate, maybe pass or have the person in front of them change lanes, and then just tailgate the next person

The cyclist anglophone world calls this MGIF-Syndrome: Must get in front.

The cyclist variant of MGIF-syndrome is when you pass someone and then at the next red light they catch up to you AND they pull in front of you, but they're still slow as shit so you pass them again and this pattern continues. I would understand if they at least accelerated fast, but they don't. I always feel like grabbing them and asking them "WHY????"
