Flash your lights. If that doesn't work, honk your horn.

Don't tailgate. Why are we Americans so stupid as to think tailgating is an acceptable form of communication?

I do all of the above while tailgating.

...and it works. Never did a nudge like they do in Germany, though.

That's how they got me near Bryan-College Station! lol

Barely anyone on the road; I decided to speed up to pass up a few cars. I was going 80 in a 70 and got ticketed. I doubt I was really endangering anybody. He even wrote on the ticket; traffic level was minimum and threat level was low.

Yeah, always got to watch those smaller towns and cities. They are always sticklers.

We drive to El Paso annually and love the 85mph between San Antonio and El Paso County. Of course, watch out for the county line because the limit drops to 65 or 70 and the cops line up just waiting for the speeders.

Its 80, not 85, atleast the last time I drove it. But I digress...

We typically cruise 85 and have people passing us like we're slow pokes
