traitor!

As you may or may not know, I'm quite susceptible to road rage. Like most people, I think that I have the perfect 'rules of the road' and that people should have their licenses revoked for not following them. One of the basic rules is Ye Shalt Waiteth In Line With The Rest Of Us. A common situation is when Car 2 (left lane) decides to pass Car 1 (right lane) at a relative speed of 0.1337 mph. Of course, this causes a huge line to form behind Car 2, since there are many cars that would like to travel faster than 65.1337 mph.

Inevitably, some jackass will ignore[1] that line of cars and zoom up behind Car 1 in the right lane. He'll then wait there, eyes to the left, waiting for a gap big enough to let him in[2]. I don't have a description to equal that of dircha's, so I'll simply repeat his words on the subject.

In traffic, leaving more than a single car length between you and the guy in front of you gets you cut off. It's an invitation for some asshat in the next lane over to cut in. You know the type.

I tell ya... roof-mounted laser gun turrets. "We've got a Jetta at 3 o'clock! Get in there and keep him occupied until I can engage the damned lightdrive!"

That and enemy sympathizers - traitors. You rode that bumper like an animal in heat and kept the Jetta out of your lane. But what's this? The Jetta pulls ahead and that weak-willed pansy Corolla two cars ahead lets him in, after all your work! "Dammit man, we're trying to hold a line here. Get on that fucking bumper and ride it for all you're worth you fucking pussy!"

Where did these people learn to drive? Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood?

[2] If he has a 15 foot long car, that means the gap must be at least 15.5 feet. Not only do these pricks cut in line, they completely ignore the concept of 'safe following distance' and thereby increase the risk of a nasty pileup if anything goes wrong.
