I've come to believe that bad drivers and jackasses need to be educated.

I drive a Prius sometimes, it's a company car. Maybe the fucher didn't see me today, but I was placed into the shoulder. Nothing provocative about it. I just happened to be beside an F350 that moved over slowly to pass another truck moving too slow in the left lane. I was in the right lane (which is wrong, I was passing both on the right), and my position had been maintained for several miles. My pace was 69mph (cruise), in a 65. I moved closer to the line as I saw him coming over, eventually moving me into the shoulder.

I knew he had no idea I was there, just a crappy driver. Once I was in the shoulder, side by side, he still had no idea I was there, so I completed the pass in the shoulder and tucked back into the right hand lane.

He had no idea where that grey car came from. Probably claims I'm crazy. Most do.

I try to teach people proper lane management by getting closer, but yield occasionally to heavier vehicles.

I receive the Prius driver label quite well.
