For example, you're driving along, and someone comes from behind you, passes you, and then moves back into your lane in front of you. Then, they immediately start going slower than you are. Why did you pass me if you're going to slow down once you get in front of me?!?! Plus, it's really annoying if you had already passed the other guy first - they were going slow, you have to go around them, then they come up and pass you, and start going slower immediately....And how about this one: there's a car who is in front of you, moving at a snail's pace, and then you try to pass them. Suddenly, they decide that that is the moment when they'll start going a lot faster - just so you can't pass - it's like a little race! once you stop accelerating, they stop, too.
I think that the reason why there are multiple lanes is so that cars may travel at different speeds in those different lanes. Preferably, the cars in the left lane are driving faster than those in the right lane - thus giving the left lane the moniker, "passing lane". This concept is quite foreign to many people, who believe that it is best to drive the exact same speed as the car in the lane next to them. This way, all the cars can gather together on the highway, and noone is left to roam free.
Some people should have their licenses taken away.
