Its just rude and bad mannered.
Because they have somewhere to be too, its just they left home 2 hours early so they could drive slow, take in the scenery and to **** you off, and still get to their destination with enough time to pick up a coffee on the way

It seems that a lot of people don't work with my thoughts on driving.

That the idea is to get from point A to point B without impeding anyone else's progress.

Perhaps one of the questions on the quiz should be

You see a fuel spill at a servo, do you;

A. Exercise due care and caution

B. Throw a match at it
Depends on insurance value of the servo and everyones death benefit on their superannuation if I go for option B

I took a hire car in Germany- it was with Europcar and it was a MB 220d estate. The representative came to the car with me and showed me the basics of the controls, the nav etc as it was an unfamiliar car and left hand drive. I’ve driven several Mercs in the past but not of this generation and while I have driven a lot in left hand drive in the US it was still appreciated and something I remember well as a Europcar customer. I thought it was very good of them actually
