While they were in the process of passing, a car came up behind them and the driver expressed his displeasure that the cart was blocking the driving lane.

Perhaps to the driver of the other cart it seemed like my wife had sped up as he attempted to pass. That was certainly not the case as she, like most others, drives with the pedal on the floor. The other driver thought she was going to slow, thought he was much faster, and perhaps thought she sped up but all were incorrect.

Of course, the other happens too, but it is not always the case.
OK, that could happen. But in reality, the other 99,99% of the time the cart or car IS going too slow. So, if it speeds up, it is violating 316.083 sec 5
