I’m thinking more 2 lane roads, when somebody is on the left lane overtaking somebody on the right lane, so there is no room for the car coming from behind at high speed to pass and they’re stuck behind the car overtaking.
In that situation, whilst I was overtaking at just below the speed limit, more than once I’ve had people coming from behind at high speed and getting far too close for comfort until I finished overtaking and got out of their way.
My feeling was that the whole thing was to scare me into exceeding the speed limit to overtake faster and also join back into the traffic in the right lane faster than safer (i.e. with less distance to the car was overtaking) so that the car that came from behind speeding could go back to speeding as soon as possible.
In the past I would actually do just that, nowadays I don’t care and just do my thing with the speed and care I feel is appropriate.

Yeah that’s more likely. I do think though that plenty of those people are also not being aggressive and are just impatient or incompetent.
Yeah, I also think most are just a mix of impatience and incompetence.
