Why would they tailgate you at all if they could pass you? Is this common somewhere?

Some people just like being a dick instead of getting on with their lives. My answer to those people is to slow down until they pass, and it's fairly common that I get under 10mph and think I'm actually going to have to stop before they get the hint.

I guess what I meant was, they were so aware that we were lamely going as fast as we could (not very) in the slow lane that they managed to move over in plenty of time even when they were going way (way) faster than us and had to merge into other traffic. No one ever seemed to get stuck behind us unable to pass. I chalked it up to their very high awareness of our very shitty car, lol.
