You must be me posting to myself. ;)
Been there, done that except for the old people story.
In fact, that is how I got into the issue with the two guys in Montana at 130 mph. In eastern monatna, they would pass me, but as they got closer to a truck they would slow down. My cruise control would allow me to pass them but it was tighter and tighter every time. Finally, they were so overt about it, and I was so overt about making sure I passed them that they “teamed” me (I didn’t know they were together until then). They created a two lane road block at 50 mph (eastern montana, I-90, middle of nowhere, 75 mph limit). I didn’t even slow down and passed on the shoulder. The chase ensued.
But my governor is at 140 while theirs was considerably lower - Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee with Minnesota plates. I kept losing them and then when I slowed down to 90 they would soon catch up again. I finally got a couple of miles between us and pulled into a small town. I didn’t want to get a ticket for doing 130+...
Yep, that’s what I’ve noticed, too — some people just don’t want to be passed, no matter what... LOL...
