Firstly, I fail to see how Stephen has demonstated any level of immaturity. Basically he is saying, "How (other than flashing my lights) do I get these left lane bandits to move over?". A mature response would consist of some valid ideas on how to accomplish this. Instead you bore the entire province of Ontario with "Listen son, you shouldn't be driving so fast anyway" and "I hope they put back your insurance to $3000 where it belongs". Let me give it a try. Since I always drive with my (low beam) lights on, you could always try flashing your lights in the opposite direction (ie. turn them off and back on again). This spares the driver in front of you the pain of getting blinded by high beams. Another trick would be to put your left turn indicator on to indicate your intention to pass, on the left like your supposed to (hey, it works in Europe). BTW, Why do I get the impression you drive an '89 Volvo with a "Baby On Board" sticker in the window? >........................................... ` |- >Indra Laksono ---- ---, >University of Toronto, Canada M5S 1A4 `' | >........................................... ------ ---' >il@theory.toronto.edu, il@theory.toronto.cdn ,---. | >il%theory.toronto.edu@relay.cs.net |---| |- >{uunet,watmath}!theory.toronto.edu!il |---| |- >........................................... | | |- > ' ; `___, PS.
