	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.
