I have had similar experiences. It used to bug me, then I realized that the only time I can hold/exceed the speed limit is on and after downhills. If I'm riding in a section where the street goes over rolling hills, the car behind me must either pass me while ascending a hill or pass me at high speed. I'd just as well that they speed and get around before I get slowed to 15 mph by the next hill.
