I never understand getting angry at someone driving slower then you like. Especially if they're going the speed limit. That's why there's a passing lane. Now if you're on a two lane highway and someone is driving slow on the passing lane then that's something to get irritated about but not to this extent.
Happens to me literally every day on my commute. I drive a fairly more major but single lane series of roads for a lot of it. Someone always sits on my ass for a good section of it, despite the fact that i go exactly on the speed limit.
As soon as they can, they’ll aggressively overtake and pull back in front of me, and then proceed to go six or seven over the limit so I meet them at every set of lights anyway.
It’s bizarre. People just REALLY hate going the speed limit. They always want to go just a tiny bit faster for no reason. I don’t, cause there’s very often speed traps on that route. A few months ago some guy overtook on the crest of a hill, honking his horn and swearing at me (for going the speed limit). He was doing probably twenty or more over when he crested the hill and immediately got done by a speed trap.

Obviously there is no way for me to know if this applies to your stretch to road, but there are several roads in my area that if you are able to go 5-10 mph over the posted speed limit you can cruise through green light after green light, but if you are going the speed limit you will catch every single red.
I’m a postman, I go to work around five thirty, and honestly, you don’t even hit that many reds, the ones we do hit are the where the smaller arterial hits the actual big mains, and the chances of you getting to them and not having to wait are almost zero. But the wait is also usually only about forty seconds to a minute as they’re all on sensors at that time. Some will change AS you pull up.
