Sometimes a mere throttle-lift is not sufficient; sometimes a throttle-
lift combined with a downshift is needed.

we have these lanes here on a busy 2 lane highway i take. Every light
has a right turn lane
that also allows vehicles to go straight. So, all the MFFY's cue up in
that lane and race off
to get ahead. Of course there's nowhere to go, so they are forcibly
merging in.. its a very
poor design and seems to encourage road rage. I see scenarios like you
describe every day on
that road. I mostly like the jerks who stay in the right lane all the
way till the end and
merge as if they have no responsibility. just force their way to the
left... and they usually
don't stop there but keep forcing until they are in the leftmost lane.
Never removing cellphone
from face.

Um what's new about this? I thought this was a pretty standard way of
getting these arseholes further back and away from one's own bumper...

So you were being a LLBer? Wouldn't a more effective tactic have been to let
her get in front of you?

Technically he wasn't because he accelerated as the cars caught up to him,
therefore he didn't block anyone but the MFFY.
It's best to have a tailgating MFFY behind you by at least a few cars. You
don't want that person tailgating you and you don't want him/her ahead
of you because they will cut off and force their way in up ahead causing
delays and need to take evasive action as people jam on the brakes and
otherwise act to avoid collisions with the MFFY and people dodging the
MFFY.

Uh... block one car, you're an LLB, by r.a.d. definition and standard.
The r.a.d. standard of desire and any indication to attain higher
velocity requires that the LLB yield or accelerate to whatever
velocity the driver to their rear should indicate is appropriate,
immediately, and without question.
May an LLB continue to LLB because the vehicle to their immediate rear
is tailgating? Or if they aren't, but the vehicle behind them is?
May they pace the vehicle to their R, because a vehicle is tailgating
that vehicle?

Because they can't collide with you except by extraordinary effort...?

Oh. It's better to risk a collision than any delay.
What do you do if this moron is behind you?

Oh, I didn't understand, I thought you deliberately drove along side her and
matched speed with the Acura so as to block in the agressive driver. Sorry,
I apologize, I thought you were being a jerk. Clearly you were being your
normal non-agressive considerate self.

Yes I do. Two jerks pulling stunts is at least twice as bad as one. You
constantly whine and moan about MFFY actions, yet when you do something that
is exactly the sort of MFFY thing you complain about, you claim it is
justified. Why, are you special? From your many self righteous posts
complaining about others, it is clear you think you have the right to judge
others. Now it is clear you also think you are above the rest of us and have
the right to do the very sort of thing you criticize others for. How about
the cars you held up to create your little rolling road block? They
certainly have the right to call you a MFFYer.

Passing someone in a safe and legal manner is not a MFFY action.
Make all the excuses you want, you are guilty of pulling exactly the sort of
crap you complain about when others do it. So you are a MFFYer and a
hypocrite too.

Scott, sorry, but I have to agree with Ed, you were being a dickwad.
Next time simply throw the a-hole drive the bird as he passes instead of
holding up everyone and escalating a bad situation.

It's NOT MFFY to block such morons,it's NOT ENABLING them by letting them
do it.
The only reason they do such things is because they can get away with it.
.....because enablers LET them do it.

Impossible, unless another driver was following you so closely as to
prevent your nemesis from changing lanes behind you.

And you, pacing him.
For someone who seems to get so much practice lying, you suck at it.
