Well, then I don't understand the issue. If they rode the brakes or geared down, they would have maintained the same speed regardless of the method, so it wouldn't have affected your speed either.

What really irks me are the people that pulse their brakes doing down a hill. Let's say the limit is 50 km/h. When they hit 60, they will hit the brakes and slow to 30, then coast to 60 and hit the brakes again. Impossible to keep a steady speed when following them.
