Here's a little test for righteousness, though. Suppose you're pulling your 15,000lb 5th wheel behind a right lane idiot that is unable to maintain a given speed, plus or minus 5 MPH.
It appears as though most posters above would use their left turn signal to let the bumper to bumper stream of cars in the left lane know they'd like to pass the idiot, then patiently wait 10 miles for the opportunity. Quietly smiling as they pass the cruise-less one, if you can time it so it isn't during one of the bursts from 60 to 72 MPH.
I'm not that cool. I will calmly pass you without the finger, or any other useless gesture, in the hopes I can demonstrate my displeasure with a quick burst of black smoke.
I also ride a motorcycle. Lets bash V-twin riders that blip throttles incessantly at stoplights. What a waste...
I understand you, and your post.
In the times that I've been coal-rolled or [censored]-blasted by hooligans in trucks, I have been maintaining the speed limit at a very minimum, and have done nothing whatsoever to constrain the flow of traffic. I find that it is others who do so, and its those people - people who are driving cars with 200-300hp - who just don't give a [censored] - that are doing this. In which case, a horn honk or whatever you think is necessary, might be indicated.
My thread's about being coal rolled by malicious drivers while I'm keeping very well up with the normal flow of traffic, and slowing it down in no way whatsoever.
Did you think that my thread was about you, in any way?
In your course of driving, do you aim at veterans driving hybrids with their windows down, and then willfully and deliberately try to murder them by blinding them with smoke?
