``Many motorists perceive drivers of hybrids as arrogant, trendy, greener-than-thou types who tend to flout their environmental consciousness as they proudly display the stickers on their cars,'' said Thomas, the Bay Area representative of the motorists advocacy group. ``It's not surprising that the hybrid drivers are generating animosity because they are slowing'' other drivers down.
You could have lifted it out of an article about cyclists. What the people are complaining about is hybrid owners using their vehicles in the HOV lane, and apparently driving at the speed limit (it's the "fast" lane, so it should be treated in the same way as our "fast" lane - i.e. only for overtaking). It's unclear whether the people are complaining about people going "too slow" past slow-moving traffic or in free-flowing traffic where there's room to move out the way of faster traffic.
