I don't think this attitude is any worse than the "get the hell outta my way, I'm in a hurry" attitude, which is far more common (here in the Washington DC area). I commute 120 miles a day round trip, a lot of it on 4 lane highway where the traffic is very heavy, even when it's moving close to the speed limit. If I'm in the left lane, nearly every morning some a**hole flashes his/her high beams for me to move over, never mind that 2 car lengths ahead of me is another car (and don't tell me I'm tailgating, you CANNOT leave the proper amount of room between cars in this area). So, if I did move over, two seconds later this jerk is going to be behind another car going the same speed. What do these  people think, that they are Moses and traffic should part for them to get through? Hell, we're ALL in a hurry. Just an observation, but most of these folks seem to drive BMWs, Volvo's, and now Priuses.    Jeff
