I know I'm going to be standing on some corns here but it might only refer to some Qld Toyota drivers. I generally sit on the speed limit when driving with/without a tow unless adverse weather or road conditions cause me to slow down. I have my speedo calibrated correctly - from the GPS red circle & "Bert" who tells me I am over the limit.
However most cars that overtake (& exceed the limit) seem to be Toyotas - cars & 4wds. Do they have a special exemption to be able to drive at higher speeds? Are their cars superior to mine? I had Patrols before buying the Isuzu. I found when we went to the Kimberly region some 5.5 years ago that a Toyota would pass, cut in & then slow down in front of me - so frustrating! A bit like a bloke I used to work with & couldn't stand to have a car in front of his 1300cc motor cycle.
One of my worst experiences was in the wet season earlier this year where I was tailgated for 30kms south of Townsville in very heavy rain & yes I did slow down because of low visibility! I did wonder if this Hilux was low on fuel & needed a tow into town - it was so close.

Do these drivers slow you down? Do they get in your way? Get over it, be courteous and let them pass you. I find it very stressful to drive behind someone else because I need to be always on the lookout for unexpected behaviour and the like, especially when I can't see the road ahead.
