Yes, I don't get it either. When I see someone coming up fast behind me, I don't take it upon myself to try to teach them a lesson, I just move over and let him by.
It's a particular personality type that needs to control other people.
17 pages in and no one has recognized the fundamental problem in the United States: instead of trying to produce better drivers, we pursue the policy of trying to design roads and traffic signs in such a way that even the most incompetent driver cannot hurt someone or himself. It can't be done. Bad drivers will hurt people if you set the speed limit to 15 mph and arrange the roads into three-car wide lane, lined with styrofoam bumper pads.
We turned driving into a right. Do you know anyone who pursued a driver's license who didn't get one in the end? Our standards stink. Our driver's ed instruction stinks.
We won't change those things because that's the tougher thing to do rather than manipulating speed limits, creating more road furniture, installing green arrows everywhere and so forth.
Nothing will change as long as underposted speed limits are used for revenue generation purposes.

It reminds me of my first mother in law. When my wife at the time asked her why she insisted on driving 55 in the fast lane, and if she saw the line of cars behind her, her response was "it's not my job to make sure other people can break the law". She was a real charmer.

I have learned to laugh at "people."
You really have to wonder about some people.
