Not the coffin carrying kind, but kind that tear down your left side on a motorway in order to jump the queue, only to cut in front of you with about a 12inch gap between you and their back bumper. It's so bloody dangerous. I drive on motorways most days now and have to keep one eye on the road ahead, one on the road behind me and my third eye on my left side mirror.
It's a balancing act. Leave a small enough gap so they won't try to undertake and cut in, but then you are really driving a little too close to the poor guy in front of you. Or, you leave a larger and safer gap, but then the undertaking bastard pops along and cuts in, thereby reducing your gap to the car in front (which is now his) to a dangerous level.
I see it happen so often now I think we should make it a sport. Bait the bastards by leaving just big enough a gap to tempt them into undertaking and cutting in, but as you see them pulling up in your side mirror, accelerate and close the gap. Even better, stay parallel with the fucker for as long as you can just to piss him off. Bastards.
