Once again you prove my point.  Should I be expected to learn your
particular passing fetishes before I attempt to drive the same roads as
you?  Absolutely not!  That's how accidents happen!  Should I fake left
while he pulls to the right?  What a bunch of crap!  Seattle is finally
beginning to learn that we can't maintain growth and traffic flow while
allowing every fool to drive any which way they please.  You'll soon be
getting tickets for your behavior and I'll be the one flashing the
thumbs-up sign to the trooper with his foot on your bumper and the ticket
in his hand as I pass by (on the left by-the-way).
