Left lane vigilantes

Following up on Angry N1nja's post below, I have a corollary to the
make driving about driving again policy. I'm talking to you, in the
left lane of the interstate, going 56 mph in a 55 mph zone. Look in
your rearview mirror. You know, the same one you use to shave and
apply makeup in? See the line of cars queued up behind your slow
moving ass? Congratulations, you're officially the parade f-er.
(You're probably also driving a Prius, but that's a subject for
another post.) Now then, reach down with your left hand and press the
stalk upwards... See that blinking green arrow pointing right? When
it is safe to do so, follow the arrow and MOVE THE F**K OVER.

Also, please note that if the person stuck behind your parade f-ing
ass tries to get your attention by flashing his highbeams at you, this
is not some middle-finger equivalent insulting gesture. In fact, in
Europe and other places with actual driver training, versus the sorry
excuse for same here, it's simply another form of signaling. There's
no need to slow down further, or worse yet slam on your brakes and
cause an 18 car chain-reaction crash among the parade floats you have
created. No one is insulting your manhood, although point in fact you
ARE driving like a bitch. However - just move over. It's quick and
simple, and your parade of followers will thank you.
