#?.  if someone pulls out to pass you, on any size road, be it four lane,
two lane, sixteen lanes, you must, repeat MUST immediately FLOOR it in
order to keep them from passing you too fast, and, if possible, you should
stop the crazy fool from passing you AT ALL, so that, when he/she gives up
and pulls back in behind you, you can be the fine, upstanding citizen again,
and slow down to at LEAST 5 mph UNDER the posted limit in perfect weather
conditions so as to keep the idiot from provoking the Coppers..you are
doing that poor, ignorant fool a great, indespesible favour!
