I just encountered a special kind of asshole driver.
I was going about 80 on 395. There was another car going about that too in front of me.
He slowed down a bit, so I decided to pass him. I changed lanes, pulled next to him (I was going almost 85 now), and zip! He sped way the Hell up, to at least 95. okay. So I pulled back into the slow lane. He slowed too. hurumph.
Another car came up behind us. His lights were really bright. I let him pass me without incident. When he tried to pass my new friend, my friend let him pass but then pulled out right behind him and turned on his high beams. The bright light man responded by slowing down. Forcing my friend back into the slow lane. Bright light slowed more and pulled behind my friend and flashed his own high beams (proving that his very bright lights were actually his low beams). My friend hit his breaks. I decided to just hang back and stay out of this. These two went back and forth a couple times, until bright light decided to relent and slowed down. He slowed down enough that I passed him. And in a few minutes he wasn't even in my rear view.
This is where I think my friend got me confused with mr. bright lights. I was comfortably going about 80, with my new friend going about the same about a quarter mile ahead. Then he slows way down, like he had seen a cop of something. I didn't realize what he was really doing. So, I attempted to pass him. ZIP! He sped up to over 90. I hung back. He slowed. I went to pass. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
So, I decided to get away from this jerk. I slowed to about 70. My new friend slowed too. Staying a few car lengths ahead of me. New tac. I floored it and tried to finally pass. Up near 100 and he was right next to me. But this time he wasn't pulling ahead. So, I just kept this up until we came up to a car in the slow lane. He was forced to pull behind me. He turned on his high beams briefly. This is when I realized that he thought I was mister bright lights. He stayed in my blind spot for the rest of my ride home (almost and half an hour). I tried to ignor him as best as I could.
long story short: dickhead on the road, and an unobservant one at that

Are you sure you weren't really driving mASSachusetts? You know we massholes are awful drivers! And I must agree that MTV and VH1 have not a clue as to what heavy is. I do have to give MTV2 a hand though cause here in MA we get Headbangers Ball repeats on Saturdays. Aaaaah,....Ricky Rachtman!
