But sometimes tailgating gets the dumbass who's sleeping in the fast lane and doing 80 km/h to realize that he's sleeping in the fast lane and doing 80km/h and gets out.

Othertimes people just keep speeding up to whatever pace you set, it's really weird. This one lady on the 401 just didn't want me to pass her. I'd do 100 behind her and creep up, she'd speed up, we hit 130, and I slowed down cuz I didn't want to be that close to her. I get out of the lane cuz now there's no reason to be in it. She slows down to her original speed until I start to go by her again (in the other lane), she then accellerates really hard around a bend, almost comes into my lane and hits me, I just matted it cuz I wanted away from this scary woman, and she just matted it as well. So I just slowed down and went over another lane and waited for traffic to give me a chance to get away from her, which it eventually did. I don't understand her at all. I mean if she couldn't see me, she'd do 100 km/h in that lane. If she saw me anywhere on the highway going slightly faster she'd match, and if she saw me passing her she wouldn't allow it.

Also why can women only drive fast in a straight line? I don't mean to be sexist, and I know it's not all women, but it just seems more often than not, you'll see a woman drive really slow around a corner, then as soon as it's straight they take off again, then a corner they slow waaaay down, rinse repeat. I'm not arguing you shouldn't slow down for a corner, just that they seem to slow down a lot more than is required. Or is it just me?
