Drivers on I-17 north of the valley

Just returned home from Sedona. It's been a while since I've driven down the 17 during a "busy" time. Flex lanes are nice.

What is the deal with how people drive on the stretch from Camp Verde to the 101?

I'm a fast driver. I'll admit it. But these drivers. Holy crap. Downhill from Sunset Point, I'm going 10 over watching my speed and I'm being overtaken by Altimas and pickups towing camper trailers doing 90-95mph. I was tailgated in torrential rain by a Mercedes GT63 when I was already going 8 over the speed limit (in the right lane).

Maybe I just forgot, but has it ALWAYS been this aggressive? Seems like once you get inside Phoenix, everyone chills out.
