What's going on

This was maybe the tenth time this has happened.
We were moving with the traffic at about 70-75, in the right lane.
A California car passed us on the left and eased over, in front, of us,
right on the bumper and slowed down. Wife of course hit the brakes.
Then the other car took off.
Maybe they wanted to race? Maybe they don't like black Fords?
I started to call the hwy Patrol but that would be wasted.
It was dark so I couldn't see who was driving but did get their
personalized tax.

Like you've never seen this before?
Hell, I couldn't tell you how many times while driving a truck these
assholes would pass on the left, cut back over and slow down.

What gripes me are the ones who YOU pass that are doing slower than anyone
else, then after you pass them, they pass you!

any political bumper stickers on your vehicle?

Or,it might have been an attempt to get you to nudge them and then they sue
you;an insurance scam.

This is an example of the Sloths that like to drive slowly, until you
are in front of them. Then there arises a sudden urgency to pass and
drive at a faster speed, until they're in front of you. I have often
seen this behaviour from LLBs in the passing lane. They block traffic
at any speed, but when someone in the right lane signals left and begins
to move into the passing lane, the LLB speeds up and begins tailgating
the passing driver.

When we drive the little sports car it seems everyone is resentful and
trying to get over into the next lane becomes a challenge with my wife
driving.
They speed up and slow down to keep you from getting over. I drive more
aggressively and use all the accelerator necessary and plan long before
I need to get over, usually.
Women don't.
The situation the other evening I can't rationalize. I first thought
they might me trying to get us to pull over, maybe a flat tire.

Sounds like the kind of asshole who wants to appoint himself a traffic cop.
Maybe it was S&DDAM or Carl Taylor.

IMO,it could have been a SETUP,the old insurance scam.
They pull in front of you closely,then hit the brakes so if you aren't
alert,you tap or hit them(rear-ending them),and then they sue you and your
insurance company. they complain of injuries like back and neck pain,etc...

You didn't fall for it,so they left before you might think to take down
their plate number.
