Is this just a PHEV thing? Random road rage

I too see a lot of this on my daily commute. Baffling. 

I think they're probably driving a car with a CVT without the V part. 😂

Yeah I get those too - They just seem to be stuck at 40mph! 40mph through NSL, 40 through 30mph village, 40mph past 20mph school zone, 40mph through rest of 30 zone, 40mph back into NSL again!   

I've heard of 1-speed transmissions but didn't think that's what it meant!  

My grandad used to drive like that. I once asked him why and he said he got a lot of aches and pains in his ankles, so he would basically position his right foot on the pedal where it was most comfortable and let the car do whatever speed it wanted. My gran complained he was often speeding, so his solution was to get a thick sheet of polystyrene and slide it under the accelerator so that it prevented the pedal sinking to the floor so easily. "Geriatric cruise control" I called it..
