If they drive faster than me, then godspeed. Let them safely pass me and then swiftly disappear into the horizon, hopefully not before I manage to learn a couple badass driver tricks from them.

If they drive slower then yeah they're morons and I need to pass them as soon as humanly possible.

In both cases they become non-factors and I can drive in peace. The fast disappear into the horizon and the slow get left behind. This plays out until I am alone in the road and no longer need to consider the actions of other humans behind the wheel. That is when peace is achieved. Sadly it does not last long.

I mean they're probably tailgating and aggressively changing lanes and don't have any awareness of the dangers of differential velocity between lanes of traffic. I don't think you really need to learn those 'tricks'.

You can still freely let them go and they can give any bored cops ahead of you something to do though.
