Why do people like to speed up when someone can pass them and slow down on the double yellows?

It is no doubt partly due to human nature, I think a lot of us tend to be somewhat competitive when it comes to driving. I think it also has to do with the road themselves. In many cases a no passing zone with the double yellow will be more hazardous while a stretch on which you can pass will be long and straight which obviously promotes faster driving.

They call them road hogs and they just love to lead a pack of cars. They do it on the 4 lane freeways too, hog the left lane and make you go to the right and then they will speed up so you can't get around.

I found the solution, hit passing gear and don't dilly-dally passing them! Go by them before then can do anything about it.

I think ligoneskiing is right on with his answer.

If you think its aggravating in a car, try making your living in a truck with people doing that to you all day long. Just a side note: Seattle is one of the worst city's to drive a truck in, people will run 50mph in the fast lane for miles on end with no regard for the backup they create.

That why you get a car that goes faster than 70 mph so when you step on the gas, your able to cruise around them.

But in a flip of the coin....

With the price of gas and tickets, I don't go past the limit more than 5 mph. If I am not going fastest enough, pass me, but don't expect me to take it out of cruise control so you can drive like an idiot.

I also agree with ligoneskiing.

And then there's inconsiderate people like p_rutherford.

human nature - hapens in real life in other situations too - if you apply these to other situations you will realise you too have done the same and got real pleasure out of it.

I think they're just being obstinate . That's why you should sell your cage and buy a fast motorcycle.

You can pass on a double yellow line , but with caution. But there is no passing on a double white line.

100% fun.

I always speed up when someone tries to pass, it's a hoot.
