The best way to deal with lane-blockers is to strike them on the rear
quarter panel with bull-bars, and then push their carcasses off the
road with the same.  Since this isn't always practical, going around
them by any means necessary (including -- horrors -- changing lanes)
is the best way to deal with them -- then they can be ignored and the
next driver can worry about them.
