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? |

I drive a 1 ton work van. No matter what lane I'm in someone is always tailgating me. When I get in one of my Supreme Commander moods I just roll down the window and give 'em a Texas Shower; i.e., spray a good healthy stream of WD-40 out the window. They think it's WW washer fluid and kick on their wipers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I love to watch people driving with their heads hanging out the window.
