This is sometimes due to the way people flash to pass. 90% of the time it has happened to me, I was passing a guy on a two lane road, some guy comes up at high velocities (usually 20-30 mph over the speed limit), gets about a foot, sometimes less, to the point where I can't even see his lights, flashes me, and I guess expects me to 1)turn into the concrete barrier on my left, 2)turn right into the guy I'm passing, or 3)floor it. You better believe I'm gonna bitch if people are going to drive like a**holes who think they own the road. If they're couteous about it, then I don't mind, but most people I've experienced aren't quite that way.
