Play nice, let others by.

On a warm Sunday afternoon you may find yourself tooling around in your drop-top with your girlfriend. Or maybe you are a conservative driver and, by-God, the speed limit is the speed limit -- but you go 5 under just to give yourself a margin of safety. Or you may be driving slow for any other number of reasons. As you are driving along you happen to notice someone in a vehicle behind you, riding your rear bumper like they are trying to make their car your new trailer, and they are dancing back and forth in the lane trying to see around you. You blow it off thinking, "this guy is an ass-hole," and you might be correct. But then a few miles later you notice there are two cars behind you now, and both are trying to find a passing lane in the worst way. A few miles later there are three or possibly even four cars behind you and nothing but miles of open road in front of you. Guess what, you are blocking the flow of traffic, and are likely causing more of a safety hazard by having a gaggle of cars all looking for the next opportunity to pass than if you were speeding. Obviously you don't want to be a road hazard, it would be nice if people didn't drive so crazy, but that just isn't reality and one person cannot solve this problem. So what should you do to relieve this hazardous situation?

If you have more than a few cars backed up behind you, you should consider pulling off the road at the nearest, safe pull off. Some states even have laws, usually un-enforced, about blocking traffic. The general rule of thumb here is: if a driver is impeding the progress of three or more cars that driver should allow the others to pass. The laws are different from state to state, some say three cars while others say four cars but, if you do pull off to allow others to get by, I highly doubt you will ever be ticketed for impeding traffic flow.
