I posted this on the bird board and am surprised at some of the responses. Curious what you guys think:

Just curious what others deem appropriate driving etiquette.

Say you are cruising along in the left lane about 80 in a 65 and passing all the cars in the right lane.
Somebody gets on your bumper and tries to push you or persuade you to get out of their way.

Do you:
Speed up?
Slow down to change lanes so he can pass?
Ignore him?

If you ignore him, how about when you get to a big brake in right lane traffic?
Do you:
Move over and let him go?
Ignore him and let him go around you?

Move over when possible and let them by.

Besides, if they came up on you there is a good chance they are not sober (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Get out of their way and let them stay away from you.
