Then there are the ones who get on the expressway and sit in the passing lane alongside a truck going about the speed limit and take about 5 miles to pass the truck.

Yeah, the "cruise control passers". I don't know if they even realize they can accelerate to pass and their cruise control will return them to their previous speed when they're done. Of course, they have only the most peripheral awareness that other cars even exist, so that knowledge probably wouldn't make much difference.

And then there's the opposite problem, which isn't an annoyance so much as a curiosity - the drivers who continually pass you, then fall behind you, then pass you again, etc. This past weekend on the freeway I was cruising in the right lane and in the span of ten miles one car passed me and fell back behind me a half-dozen times. And I had the cruise control set the whole time!
