Re: Aggressive Drivers, from the Aggressive Driver's Point of View

Are you replying to me?  If you reread my post, I am sure you will
understand the humor I intended to bring into the discussion of
speed and signalling.  I am all for turn signals.  I was just pointing
out a common behavior that I have witnessed which is to respond to 
signals by flooring the pedal and passing rather than letting the
signaller over.

drivers signal on the freeway they encounter
lead-foot-don't-cut-in-front-of-me behavior.  Don't get me wrong.  I
appreciate the proper use of the turn signal.  It's just that this is just
as annoying to me.
