(44,611 posts)In fact I'm usually significantly well over the speed limit.
And in that situation, I sometimes do come across people who might be in front of me who are driving slower than I am.
And do you know what I do in that situation?
I either
a) wait until I know the lane on the right is clear, and move to pass on the right.
Or
b) I slow down myself, because perhaps I'm going a little too fast myself and I realize it.
I don't act like a maniac and start flashing my headlights incessantly like an impetuous two year old who wants ice cream now.
The people who do this don't strike me as people in emergencies. They don't have their hazards on. They're usually in a sports car designed to go super fast.
As I said, in normal circumstances, I'd usually move over and let them pass, even though I'm going pretty fast myself. But the non-stop flashing of the headlights is a deal breaker for me. That just screams Type A asshole behavior.
