One state that I am familiar with is Utah, which recently passed a law
that requires drivers to change lanes to the right if the following car
flashes headlights or honks the horn.  Failure to do so is grounds for
a ticket.  Needless to say, some people still get mad if you flash your
lights at them.  Will they never learn?
