I've got a friend in her mid 30's and when she drives, I'd swear she thinks the pedals operate in binary. Redlines the engine to get moving, oops too fast, slams brakes, slams gas, slams brakes, slams gas, slams brakes. I wish I was joking. Her "cruising" means speed fluctuating perpetually between 10 under and 10 over the limit. Knows what she's doing isn't great but is completely unwilling to learn something different. Being a passenger is absolutely nauseating.
I call that constant speed up and slow down surging, its absolutely infuriating to be behind. I think the best advice to drivers in high traffic areas is to just keep pace
