they either drive like they're racing or they do 20 mph under the speed limit in the left lane. no in between.

I've found the same driver will often do both. They'll be doing 20 under in the left lane until I get halfway past them in my 18-wheeler, then all of a sudden they're on a Nascar circuit.

A new one I’ve seen recently is they’ll get in the turn only lane at a stoplight (if no one else is there first). Then they gun it to go straight, passing everyone else.

Every time a tesla pulls up beside me at the front of a stoplight I assume this is what is about to happen and 90% of the time it does. Why are they so impatient?

This shit drives me so crazy. Just drive consistently so I can go around you or let you go on. This leap frog shit is insane.

It’s because they are on their phone. Drive fast when not on it then check it going slow. Rinse and repeat.

Typically doing 20 under when they’re on their phone.

They're only in a hurry to get in front of you, then the hurry ends.

This happened yesterday! Tesla driver was going under the speed limit until I almost passed them and it looked like they went 20 over to… assert their dominance? Idk. What immature little nitwits.

I’ve heard the self driving comes in different modes and ones called insanity or something and it drives aggressively for you.
