Then it refuses to pass in the area where it would have been easy... and finally passes directly where it means we have to eat the bump straight on. I hate when they think they're being polite like that.
I also had a lot of people yesterday waiting on me to pass before pulling on to the road I am on from a cross street. Generally I appreciate it, but I felt a little dumb when they're sitting there waiting and I'm climbing at 8mph into a nasty headwind. Just go! Trust me, I'm going slower than you think I am!
