    I've been known to do that in areas in which I don't care for the predominant class of people, such as anywhere along the Capital Beltway.

    I've done this when the road is covered in snow and ice. The ice breaks up and seems to give some traction back until I can park it.

    I've seen trucks do it at night while going past rest areas a few times, just to be a horse's rear I guess.

    Gotta love the blandness of asphalt. :rolleyes:

    Concrete on the other hand tends to be very "musical". Unfortunately people's butts are too sensitive for that anymore.

    Car gets on my butt, I do it. I will sometimes slow down, if I am on a two laned road, until they get fhe hint. Thing is, a car hits us, we walk...the people in the car won't.
