Scenario

[ehowton]

You're all alone on a Texas highway, driving fifteen miles an hour under the posted speed limit. Visibility is several miles all around you and there's not another vehicle in sight. The windows are down - its a nice day. Suddenly, I approach as if from nowhere behind you. Because you're doing 50 in a 65, I indicate, move into the empty oncoming traffic lane, downshift, accelerate, and pass you.

You get very angry.

Why?

It doesn't really matter.

Well it does because if they are going under the speed limit or slower than the main body of traffic in a double lane highway they will get a ticket for hazardous and discourteous driving in the left hand lane.
