I was driving in the fast lane on the highway today, and I saw this old camry being agressive and trying to get into the left lane, but half way into the lane change he realized there was a car there, and swerved back. So, when I approached him, I floored it to make sure he didn't merge into me, but no, the bastard switched lanes right into me, so I yanked the car over into the left shoulder, leaned on the horn, and flashed my highbeams, but no, he didn't go back, he took my spot, while I was on the shoulder. He then floored it, and tried to speed away from me. We were doing about 85 at the time, so no doubt this 16 yo was doing 100+ in an old Camry. Idiots.

edit: I should probably answer the question. No, I don't usually tailgate, unless you are a truck in the left lane, in which case, I am a bit ticked off. Here, the left lane isn't really used as a "passing" lane, just more of a really fast lane. Out in the boondocks, when the highway opens up, the left lane is stictly for passing cars that are going 80mph, so you can continue at 90.
