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.

Gotta imagine it's the folks without cruise control making massive jumps up/down in speed like that. I remember one time driving through Saskatchewan and there was a girl driving a green sunfire that kept speeding up as people were passing her, like subconsciously she'd just start matching the speed of any car on her left side.
I honestly don't think she was trying to box people in, I just know most of the time I can comfortably pass people with my cruise set at 120ish but I really had to floor it when passing her as her speed just kept creeping as I approached her car.
