Perhaps they were in a vehicle that they felt uncomfortable doing 75mph in,
(like a 1943 Willy's CJ3B, and/or passing an even slower individual, in
a 1941....).  

What is the posted minimum Big Papa Crab ?.

Were these people breaking any laws Big Papa Crab ?.

It is you my friend, with your attitude of "the world should move over for me
because I want to haul ass" that is every bit as much a problem as the 
one that your describe, IMHO. 

You get right behind me an unsafe distance and start flashing your brights,
I might be inclined to salute you as you go by too, and I doubt that all
five fingers would be prominantly displayed.
