Probably just passing, since I feel the same way as well.
We take drives on a 1 lane coastal highway and backroads fairly often which have some longer windy spots. People drive slow as hell around ANY sort of turn but once there's a passing lane or a straight you can pass on, everyone speeds up and makes it fairly difficult to pass safely in a reasonable amount of time.
