It's the worst, because there's always someone who passes the car in front of them as slowly as possible. I think the change in speed comes down to perception of safety; a single lane in your direction of travel 'feels' inherently less safe so people go slower on them, while that second lane opening up gives a feeling of space and safety. When in reality, neither the lanes nor the shoulders got any wider and that driver is just a dumb-ass.
