About close to 5 minutes later he steps on the gas, passes me, pulls in front of me and then eventually has to go slower so he can take a turnoff on the left. He could've just drove the same speed, pulled in behind me and taken his turnoff.
I tailgated him as long as I could.

Since this was such a hit, when I posted it, I now have part deux.
Same Highway last night. 100 km, double lane. I am in the right lane in front of about 4 other cars, I'm, doing 110, and all the other vehicles are behind me doing about the same, and I'm talking about 10 car gaps inbetween them all.
Now, there is a vehicle in the left lane doing the same speed limit as everyone else. Eventually there is a turnoff for another hiway from the left lane, so I just assumed he would turn off there, and then after that our 2 lane goes to a 1 lane in about 2 kms.
So the guy in the left lane goes past the turnoff and then starts to drive about 115 or 120, fast than me anyways, to get in front of me, which I'm fine with. But then once we get into the one lane section, he all of a sudden is down to 100, so I have to shut down my cruise control. Then he is doing almost 90, this is still a 100 zone for about 5 km.
So, to recap the guy was behind me, doing the same speed, sped up, passed me, and then did less than what I was going.
I tailgated him the rest of the way, which I could tell he did not enjoy.
