I feel like people are always trying to acelerate right now green. Also they keep making me speed. I drive a bit over teh speed limit, maybe 5 mph. Yet they keep on getting behind my rear. If I don't speed up they want to cut me. What's up with people?
What has been your experience?

Depending on which lane you are driving, 5 mph above the speed limit is bit slow on the fast line. Especially in CA.
Most driver thinks that the far left lane, passing lane, is the lane drivers can cruise on, this is not true.
The passing lane is named passing lane for a reason, and drivers thinks that as long as they drive at speed limit or a little bit faster than speed limit, it is OK.
Some people have places to go. If you feel everyone is passing you when driving 5 mph faster than limit, move over one lane to your right, and continue to do so until you are at speed similar to your vehicle.
By doing this, you don't have to feel intimidated and you will be a curtious driver.
Good Luck.

My experience is that people do this, but that does NOT make you speed. In fact, it is the contrary: the fact that you give in and speed up is the reason people tailgate you. If tailgaiting people makes them speed up, the of course the idiot "racers" on the highway are going to do this! Sounds to me like you're looking for an excuse to speed up, but two wrongs don't make a right. Slow down and obey the traffic signs, and these people will have to learn to drive right... or else they'll be the ones in a wreck or getting a ticket.

Most people these days are rude drivers. What I hate is being caught up in a race between 2 drivers; I'm sure I'm going to get clipped by one of those fools doing 90+mph and die a horrible death.
