I get really annoyed by the same thing. I think some folk think they're doing you a favour by speeding up on the straights - by letting you go faster too.

I have a 10 mile drive to work. It's mostly an A road and there's no need whatsoever to slow down on the bends. Apart from anything else it bumps up your fuel consumption.

There are also folk who slow down on the straights if there's traffic coming the other way.

And then there are some who get humpty and flash you when you eventually manage to overtake them. WTF is that all about?

There's another A road that I use regularly with tighter bends where slowing down is understandable for those that don't know the road. Most of the time here you can tell if someone is local from their number plate. If I'm on such a road that I don't know I'll often let a local to overtake me then follow in his/her wake.
The last part is a good point as it’s much easier following a car on a road you don’t know in the dark.
