Why do drivers slow down and stay back in your blind spot rather than pass you?
Today I had a driver do this and just hang back behind me for about 2-3 tenths of a mile, rather than pass me. When I slowed down, they slowed down. I literally had to wave them around me to get them to pass. I've experienced this frequently when riding on my local streets, and it's really maddening, not to mention dangerous. Don't drivers realize that we know that they're there, and we're waiting for them to go by us?
