    A small handful of select mods.
    Will try the autobahn way with the light flicker first as I come up on them. If this doesn't work will wait until the right lane opens up and then go around coming back into the left lane right in front of them almost taking off their front bumper. If no room or I am being an ass myself I light them up with my Solteks 8" off road lights. They usually get it then. Most of the time in Colorado drivers get it and move over. We have a law here that the left lane is for passing only but most do not even care.

    More so the problem is that the driver doing this isn't even aware that he is being an ass. He/she is too busy texting or reading an email so it takes something to wake them up for them to get the F out of the left lane.

    I see this a lot, people cut over at the last second because they aren't paying attention, and getting over is far more important to them than safety, and people can't commit to a mistake, instead they cause accidents and piss other off, rather than going to the next exit/turn and going around safely. If I miss a turn/exit I just go to the next one and don't think about it, sucks when I am running late, but causing an accident because I wasn't watching exit/street signs isn't worth it. I also don't like looking like an idiot when I drive.

    why the hell are we talking about my aunt??? lol she blames it on her being left handed. lmao.

    but i do this. move over enough so your headlights hit their side mirror and blind them. or some time is pass on the right. or if on a 2 lane road and they are doing 15 under. may pass when it is save to do so. or i will get kinda close back off a bit and speed back up and get close agin may have to do it 2 or 3 times but 80% of the time that works. :)

    I've always wanted one. But to thank other drivers for their courteousness. Not to be a dick. See previous post.

    I just spent a week in TX, they don't use Turn Signals EVER, always drive in the left lane, don't yield when merging with highway, and all of their cars have dents in them. Wonder Why...?

    Well I don't think this was a mistake, he rushed up passing people to get to the clearing to get over instead of just merging in somewhere and slowing down. He was in a ricer type Civic, lowered w/wheels, surprisingly didn't have the loud a$$ exhaust on it. I see this quite often too, not by mistake, but by being impatient.

    Flashing high beams and tailgating is not only stupid but it can provoke a dangerous reaction from the other driver. I usually back off a little and pass as quickly as I can when safe to do so. Provoking people puts you in the same category as the "slow" drivers. You don't know if they have a gun or are mentally stable.
