They have just noticed this action and are NOT going to be passed by the likes of YOU! Hmph!

(Drives me nuts as well)

Because they're rude.

Two possible reasons:

One, they are rude and think that if you get in front of them, they will lose the race.

Two, they don't realize they are speeding up while someone is trying to get over or around them. They could have looked down at that exact moment and realized they should speed up, and it just happened to be at the same time that you were changing lanes.

This is the reason a lot of drivers DON`T use their turn signals!

I have a theory that some people start thinking that they are battling in the Indy500 when someone tries to pass. No one wants to be second. Another nice question might also be why people floor it to get up to a red light.

Because these people are essentially incompetent drivers who, by all rights, should only be allowed to operate a non-motorized scooter with flat spots on the wheels. They also suffer from some sort of mental deficiency which precipitates their need to show off.

One thing I hate is when the speed changes from like 50-80 and while you're in the process of speeding up to the next limit someone goes to pass you, but gives you a dirty look like YOU'VE done something wrong.

Here is what I do.

I speed up to the point my trunk is by their front wheels and hood.

I stay there and then they speed up past me.

Then I switch lanes.

It works almost every time.
