    Are you a quarter mile behind the next car in front of YOU?  If
    you are, shame on you, move over you pig. 

    If you are within commute type distance of the car(s) in front
    of you, let the butthead stay there.

    Take your foot off the gas.  Think of the worst that can happen
    to you.  The butthead is always driving Sport/UTE, a pickup, or
    a freeway bomber with no brakes, right?   You are driving a car
    with excellent brakes.  

    Something happens and you need to put on the binders fast...whack,
    you get whiplash and pray that you are not driving a Pinto with
    good brakes unless you have a good supply of marshmallows in
    the glove compartment. 
    [No, I don't always do this either, but we are talking about you,
    right?  >:-)]
