You might be able to get away with doing that if you have the power of a V-8 Crossfire. LOL

In Texas you might also want bullet proof glass. I don't really recomend this approach but the guy did ask

Great advice. Playing is one thing, but if you happen to encounter true road rage you do not want to esculate the situation. This person will endanger your life and any and all drivers around him. Since they don't wear identification tags it is better to just not start these games.

The reason why you get the middle finger is from the horrible passenger side blind spot. The only way to overcome this is to put a midget in the hatch just to tell you it's ok to merge left on the freeway.

Here's what you really need though....

Yesterdy I was driving home from work and some chick pulled out in front of me going like 5mph , making me switch lanes to pass her. When I proceeded to pass her, I kinda looked over to give her the death glare but she already had her finger up.

I'll never understand some people....

I got flicked off by a guy driving a beemer last weekend as he passed me while doing 80 down Rt 1. I repaid his compliments by blowing by him at 140. He pulled into the lot of of a local hole a few minutes after I got there and we joked about how nice the road surface was. Had a few lemonaides ,checked out each others rides and pulled out of the place ... slowly.

point .... sometimes a finger is a compliment on the road surface

drivers around here are too busy staring at the car to worry about fingers.

If somebody is holding me up by driving well below the speed limit, I will overtake them. Quite often I am returned with a flash of the headlights from the car I have just overtaken. Why? There was nothing wreckless or dangerous in the manouvre I just performed. I just return the gesture with the middle finger.
