I took the pandemic as an opportunity to retire and I've spent the last three years traveling a lot in my '99 Tacoma with a slide-in camper. So I'm rarely going over 65 mph, which gives me a lot of time to observe other drivers. I see it all the time on i-90, on 84 through the Gorge, heading out through eastern WA, OR, SLC, I-80. So yes, I get what you mean, and I don't think it's limited to our I-5 corridor.

I get what you mean, I'm less familiar with those roads. Frankly, it seems more common in rural areas. Maybe they're bored? 🤷‍♀️

Yea rural folk will take unkindly to you flying by them and will often burn diesel trying to prove a point. I drive a little 2.0 Awd turbo and I drove from Everett to Kalispell several times on hwy 2 this summer. Had the same kind of thing happen. I’ve definitely experienced some terrible drivers in the stretch you’re talking about tho. I think it comes down to people taking affront you’re passing them. We have a terrible problem with camping the left lane in this state
