For the most part I have to fit the pelican mold. I am a pretty conservative driver, but then my commute doesn't really lend itself to high performance high jinks.
I have noticed other drivers who seem to feel that they need to prove something when I am around. I can follow them for miles and they are happy. But if I change lanes and wind up in front of them, suddenly they remember that they have to get to a fire or something.
The only time I've bothered responding is when a bimmer boy pulled up next to me at a light a couple of blocks from my house. I had only had the car for a little over a week so was still figuring it all out. Light changed and he actually stayed with me through second gear then my engine started cutting out. It took me a second to realize I was banging off the rev limiter. Third gear made him a very small speck in the rear view.
