Then I hear, LOOK AT THIS JAGHOLE ON MY TAIL! One of those silly little Subaru Imprezas, I checked the mirror and I saw the guy inches from the rear! clooooose to us! Until that moment we were just cruising along looking ahead and this bonehead was racing for his pride to pass us and we didn't even know it. That could have been a real disaster. Will they ever go away and leave the competition to be settled on the track?

Highway driving is not a competitive sport!
I just pull over and let them go by. They hate that. It ruins their fun.
