So there I was, cursing the guy for blocking me, and I notice one of those big, obnoxious SUVs closing rapidly in the rear view mirror. Never have I been so glad to see one of those guys!

So I pull over into one of the center lanes, and the SUV pulls up behind the guy who had been blocking me, following him at a distance of half an SUV length or so. I had to laugh as the guy got out of the left lane right quick!

I love when tailgatters can be used like this.

It doesn't even have to be a big vehicle.

I normally get about 1/2 car length in front of them, then stare back with a disapproving glare that even your mother would applaud...

The 'ol stink eye, eh?

In Michigan most folks will move over when you Flash to Pass, Sometimes it may take a second flash for them to move over.

If they don't move over, I just pass them on the right and go on my way.
