I hope you're not serious, if so then man the fuck up and stop whining. Also, it's flipped off, not flicked off.

Nothing I love better than a dickhead weaving through traffic at dangerous speeds during dangerous times (mass traffic, so it won't help you much - or when it's raining). When you know you're in the lane he intends to pass with... speed up to match the guy next to you. Now watch your rearview mirror as the butt-hurt of him will flow through to you as you see him pounding his fucking steering wheel in butt-hurt rage. It's beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye sometimes.

While that can be satisfying, it isn't smart. He may do something extra dangerous, and you're making sure that something is near you.

As I've gotten older, I more and more create extra space to let those people by and get them the fuck away from me as safely and quickly as possible.

Plus, intentionally blocking someone from getting by is a dick move and two wrongs don't make a right.

I've seen people get so frustrated they actually pass in the breakdown lane @ 85+ MPH so yea, "blocking" can be a dangerous activity..

Come on down to Florida. It's a daily occurrence down here. The unofficial speed limit is 10 to 15 over the limit. Staying in the right lane at 5 over will get you tailgated and flipped off.

Don't lie.

Florida is filled with old retired folks driving 15 under in the left lane no less.

You know, I would say so if I'd seen that but I really haven't. We spend winters in FL and our primary residence is in MI. I see about the same number of slow, confused drivers in both places and the number is very low.
