    I always see people do all these crazy tricks with their lights to "thank" the people who flashed them over. Im not sure how to do the cool light tricks, but I make sure to light up my brake lights for a few seconds after I come back in front of them. It kinda sucks cause I drop us both down to like 30mph and we have to work our way back to speed again. But, its like the OP said, I dont want to be a rude driver and not thank him for his kind gesture. Usually they'll even honk at me after I show them my brake lights to say "No problem, buddy!"

    Ha.

    In our time it's simple. On the radio say Here kitty kitty kitty, then take the big hole and open her up.

    We'll sort that out right quick. I hope you gots horsies...

    Gods, if it is one thing I miss is uphill street racing with another truck off a light. Sometimes they twist on the torque you lay on them with the steers coming off the ground on one side.

    how to tell if a driver is getting stressed out? When he gets upset because someone didn't acknowledge his flashing lights. Take a chill pill dude and relax

    I think somebody needs to call the Marshals. These rude trucks are getting out of hand. All these farts are adding to global warming.
