    I will switch to a lane knowing I can’t pass all the time and speed up. I call it the Slingshot and it works about 95+% of the time. Essentially when a car in the left-most lane is traveling the speed of traffic, if you move to a different lane and speed up, they will instantly speed up to “prevent” you from passing (even if there wasn’t space to pass). The great part about it is that that they always maintain the speed and you’ll be able to break the traffic stalemate for that section.

    Not sure if it’s a psychological thing, but it fucking works and I love it.

      Shit, did I miss the psychological warfare portion of Drivers Ed?
