Are you a ROAD BULLY when driving your Z?

I don't think I've ever let an 18-wheeler make the lane change on the highway without first zipping by. From my experience they always overtake each other at what feels

I don't think I've ever let an 18-wheeler make the lane change on the highway without first zipping by. From my experience they always overtake each other at what feels like a 1 mph speed differential.

I do however always let someone merge if they have their blinkers on. There aren't too many 370Z's around Knoxville and I'm the only blue one, so I try to be as polite as I can when I'm driving around. Of course, there's always gonna be some pedestrian who tries to wave me down for speeding from the other side of the road even though I'm usually within 5 mph of the limit.

The usage or lack thereof is a huge pet peeve of mine. You want to merge without signaling? Damn straight I'm going to make it as close a shave as possible, if not even just ignore you. Have your light on and look like you want in but are hesitant or not trying to get as far up as you can before bullying into the lane? I'll let you in/through.

I also try not to judge people on their cars as much as I can. Not everyone has the luxury to have a decent car that is in great shape. I don't want to enburden their life or rub their nose in my car more than I passively do.
