If you're going to flash your headlights at me to get me to move over and let you pass, PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF ACCELERATING TO PASS ME BEFORE I REAR-END THE NEXT VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE.

Seriously. I'll merge right back in front of you if you don't hurry the hell up. And if I do that, it's probably not a good idea to flash your lights some more and hit the horn - because you didn't ****** accelerate AT ALL when I moved to the right. If you want to pass me, pass me. You're even worse than the idiots who try to pass me on the right when I'm behind two trucks driving side-by-side.

Thanks,
The dude in the Ford driving 85mph

I've never actually had anyone flash their lights or honk their horn at me. Ever.

Downshift > Brake Check because they don't see it coming as quickly. :D

And while we are on the subject, some boys in Atlanta did a documentary on this recently. They filmed what happened when they drove the speed limit on the freeway. Technically they were driving the legal speed, but despite this people got very upset with them for not going faster. In my local newspaper, it was said that these boys wouldn't have survived our streets, considering over 70% of our drivers drive over the speed limit.

Depends. Do you know which AT'er was driving a yellow Mustang GT hardtop and flashing their lights at a Focus sedan on their way home?

If it was the one where they took up all 4 lanes of the highway, I saw that clip.
It was a horrible documentary as the sounds was VERY bad. Too loud in some places and too dim.
Also I believe they should've got arrested for doing a stunt like that. Either that or I hope they would get sued for doing that.
Completely wrong to block traffic on all 4 lanes creating a near "backup" for probably 1/2 mile or something like that.
You don't have to take up all those lanes to prove most people do speed...

Thank god Washington (or at least Seattle anyways) isn't part of that 70%.

Texas on the otherhand... Mmm... I told my mom to not speed and drive at the speed limit of 60 MPH, since she was always driving 80 cause everyone else was. So, this garbage truck being driven by a mexican (not meant to discriminate) honks at her, and then drives by her just to give her the middle finger because she was just driving at the speed limit... Go figure.

I had the same thing happen to me. Only I had no way of merging to the right (two other lanes on the left are free). Then less than a 1/4 mile further, they merge in to the right lane only to exit the freeway!!!

LOL!! Reminds me of all the ricers 'round here. They step on the gas... the air is filled with the cacophonous sound of a fart can muffler, designed to make you think they're the fastest sh!t on teh road, while they spend 30 seconds gaining 10 extra mph to actually try passing. It's rather disconcerting to hear a "powerful" sounding exhaust from a car at full power, that's not really going anywhere too quickly.

Don't drive in the fast lane if you're not the fastest car on the road?
