(2) When on a street being followed by a car, I pull to the right the first chance I get and wave them around. I continue to be fascinated at the lack of thank-you waves I get for doing this.
The rest of the time, I’m driving about 75 mph. I mean, if we’re going to exaggerate on these posts, let’s get serious. lol!!

Besides being just plain stupid and dangerous, it's illegal
Florida statute 316.083:
5) Except when overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle must give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle, on audible signal or upon the visible blinking of the headlamps of the overtaking vehicle if such overtaking is being attempted at nighttime,
and must not increase the speed of his or her vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle.
Yet, on both diamond lanes and on highways, this happens all the time---like I said in a previous post---some people just don't like to get passed, no matter how slow they are.
