Thats a good idea Dan until the duped car drivers realize that they
have been tricked and are still right next to you in traffic.  Then
retaliation becomes their goal....

The ideal trick would be to follow someone about 100 yards behind them
so they can't recognize that it is a masquerade.  Boy that sure
bothers me when someone does it to me!
