Good advice, SD.
I try to adhere that theory, but I'm way too much of an asshole to follow that to the letter.
I usually look for traffic in the other lane, catch up to that slower vehicle, then set my cruise at whatever that car is at. Having both lanes blocked is a bit more infuriating. LOL
This is also a great move if you want to have someone 'bird dog' the cops for you. By the time you pop over to the other lane and let the asshat go by, he's so pissed, he'll mash that pedal to the floor. It's amusing to watch.
oooo....the finger. Not........that.
If you want to have some real fun, blow the guy kisses as he passes by. The "call me!" hand motion works good too.
If you have a spare mayo pack from a fast food place handy: Put your left hand below the window line and as he passes, tilt your head back and squeeze the mayo pack really hard so it 'sprays' onto the window.
Sure it makes a little mess, but damn it's funny as hell.
In the end, I may arrive behind them, but damn I look good.
