And as someone said, if you ARE sunday driving on a scenic road and there are 1+ cars behind you, why NOT pull over for a second and let them by? It'll make everyone involved less uptight. There is no place for head games while driving. I think I can safely say that the majority of us drivers who resort to getting close to the {G,g}uy in front of them as a hint to please pull over to the right have at that point gone through the normal hints - (getting moderately close, quick flick of the headlights...) only to be ignored or somehow not seen. The original {point,flame} remains: keep an eye on your rear-view mirror. If you are impeding someone wanting to get by and it is not unreasonable to pull right, *please* do! ^ | | use your own *good* discretion on the definition of this word's usage... -- Jim Morton, GenRad Inc., Concord, MA ...decvax!genrad!grkermit!jim
