To: a fool in paradise
In Texas it is a manner some ahole drivers use to "push" cars out of a lane. They absolutely refuse to pass a car, instead tailgating until the car in front eventually gets out of the way. And there are open lanes on the left, you can see the drivers doing it to every car in "their" lane. Cops will do this too (no flashing lights, just a jerk mentality).

I've found that letting off the gas ever so slightly will remedy most of them. If they don't back off after that, I brake check them.

I really enjoyed driving in Texas. A lot of their roads had really large shoulders, and I regularly found that Texans would actually pull over ONTO those shoulders to let faster moving cars pass. I felt like I was in heaven.

Unlike Florida, where people would make left turns from the far right lane, among other things.
