We have farm implements, grain trucks, you name it plodding along. What are ya gonna do Dave, ram 'em?
Be an extremely inattentive driver, pull up on one with a speed differential of at least +60 MPH on a back road, and show him that your car fits in one lane sideways, and your windshield is clear enough to wave through...

That got me to pay attention a bit more on back roads... the waving part didn't happen, but drifting in a Sunbird kicks ass.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
