Can't believe I read all four pages. Nearly all my driving is done on two lane roads and people are laid back and courteous. Traffic is light to nonexistent, on the interstate most drivers still tend to be courteous, but some of them have bought stock/bonds for purchasing shares on inside lane ownership. I usually find a way to get past these plugs, while frustrating, doesn't mean I make a jerk out of myself.

What does bother me, for safety reasons, are those who tend to drive puddle jumpers up very close to the Camaro's rear bumper. This typically happens downhill on two lane, very twisty mountain roads. The Salt River Canyon road between Globe and Show Low et al comes to mind.

I do the speed limit, but sometimes the Camaro picks a little speed, partly because it's nimble and road worthy. If anything should happen, like wildlife or fallen rocks in the highway, the tailgating vehicle will be unable to stop quickly enough, therefore causing a rearend accident.

One of the ways I've seen work is to drive deep into a curve, paddle shifting down in a switch back turn and throttle up to the speed limit coming out of the turn. This usually results in a ~100 ft space between the vehicles.
