Unless of course your "line" is right up against the centre line on a wide road, which is probably what an other-motorist-hating scumbag like you does constantly. And if you weren't such an unhelpful shitbag then it might occasionally enter your head to ease off the accelerator, go temporarily towards the nearside and motion for the other driver to pass when you get to an appropriate stretch. But you never do, do you? I wonder why. Because the nasty driver wants to "speed" (i.e. go faster than you), and you've made it your business to "police" them?
