    Exactly this. There’s a strip of highway between two towns here, about a 15 minute drive going 65mph. Every single time, without fail, i will get 4 or 5 cars blowing past at 80 - 90 just to get stuck right in front of me at the first stoplight off the highway.

    I made it a point to drive up next to them when it splits into a 4 lane, and wave.

      That is the exact reason I stopped passing people unless they are significantly under the limit. Most of the time you don’t get much farther or faster. Sometimes you get lucky and miss a red or two by passing but the time saved vs the risk just isn’t worth it for me.
