I used to see this every morning & evening when I was travelling to our work site north of williams lake. As soon as the passing lane opens people speed up, when it closes they slow right down. It is the single most frustrating thing in the world. Especially considering I drove that 110km stretch atleast twice a day for 6 months. I knew that road like the back of my hand and people did such stupid things...
The thing is I know they are not doing it on purpose, they do it as a mental reaction, most of the time passing lanes appear when the road becomes wider straighter and flatter. Therefore these people feel more comfortable going a little faster, then as the passing lane closes the road curves a bit more or pitches and they slow down. Not necessarily their fault but certainly frustrating if you are driving a road you know and you are aware there is little reason to slow down after the passing lane.
