From personal observations on a recent trip, I had 3 separate and unrelated black chevy Tahoe/suburbans tailgate me to within one car length at 73 mph (my cruise control speed) that I took 10 seconds longer than they deemed necessary to pass a slower moving semi truck.
These idiots were probably pounding on their steering wheel while yelling at me "don't you know who and how important I am, get out my way".

Oh, you've been to MI I see?
I'll add that they typically are "posing" whilst driving. You know the type, left hand on the top of the steering wheel, leaning to the passenger's side, like they are contemplating how instill world peace.
I69 in MI is 2 lanes in many places and it is a major truck route. It's easy to get stuck behind a line of semi trucks. I do my best to get in the passing lane and get around as soon as possible. When I get behind a left lane hog I don't tailgate but if they do not move over I will give a headlight flash to wake them up. I think passing on the right is not always the safest move.
