If some one behind you puts their turning signal on to pass you or the car next to you, do you usually speed up not to let them go over or do you slow down so they can get their crazy a.. away from you? Don't you hate it when others do it to you and not let you trough?

i will usually just keep my current speed. if they want to pass me that badly, then they will need to go faster than me, b/c if i slow down, then i will most likely want to pass them eventually. NOW, if they are passing me on the other side of the yellow line, then i will slow up a bit b/c some people are morons and would rather get somewhere 5 minutes faster than worry about crashing and dying..or killing someone else.
ALSO, i read something somewhere that said passing people only gets you an extra 5 minutes, on average...i thought that was interesting.
NOW, if the person is being a complete tool, and we're on multi lane road or highway and they try to pass me, then sometimes i will speed up just to tick them off, but that's only if they are being idiots.

In my younger days I would speed up, I was an awful driver and had such road rage. Now I would slow down and let them pass. I'm the kinda driver that pull over onto the side of the road so people wanting to go faster can pass me. I also will stop when in traffic and let other drivers in. Aren't I so nice! I do it because my thought are always "do on to others.....", you know the saying.

I slow down and let the driver go around. I have no need to prevent somebody from getting ahead of me. My goal, when driving, is to get everybody away from me and have a space of my own.
There's an interesting story about a woman who wouldn't let somebody pass. It's under "Anatomy of an Epic Road Rage Tragedy" at the website below.

Usually I would do nothing. If they didn't pass and I wasn't obstructing traffic, I would slow down and let them pass. I would rather keep a crazy person in front of me so I can keep an eye on them and the road.

I do nothing of the sort. I just keep my speed and let it go through. Yes I hate when other people just speed up when I try to go through them, and I also hate when they force me to hit the break just because they are doing it in a very dangerous way and almost push me off the road.

I always slow down, because I hate when people speed up. If you're driving 45 in a 50... then why start to speed up so i can't pass you? You obviously WANT to drive slow so why piss me off for wanting to drive faster than you? It's such a pet peeve.

I usually let them pass. Other than this one time a guy was pissing me off. I was on the free way and he never would let me change to the left lane. Then I noticed he started speeding up ahead of me and had his turn signal on to get on the exit, when he got halfway past me I sped up so he couldn't get by! HA! Right when we passed it he turned his signal off and looked really pissed off.

Sometimes I do. It depends on my mood. If the person is driving crazy then I let the go. I they have a bad attitude and just expect you to yield to them the no. I have had people give a friendly gesture and it was all good.

I hold the same speed and let them pass. I hate when people speed up.

Always best to let the fools get by you.
Yes, I hate it when someone won't let me by too, but I can live with it - some can't though, so it might turn into road rage.
