well~that might the case most of the times~

while you can easily tell if the car behind you is really in emergency or not~

I believe most of the time, they just want to pass you. However, sometimes you might run into some really nasty losers, which happened to me a while ago.

In one early afternoon last winter, I was driving my 93 Colt (Mitsubishi Mirage) home from TechBC to back to Richmond through Hwy 91. However, when I was passing the Knight Bridge intersection, there was an old Corvette (probably 80 someting) closing in fast from the other lane. I was changing to the right lane to avoid the left turn traffic before getting off the highway. I was sure that Corvette was far away behind me and I was doing about 110km at that time. However, 5 seconds after I changed into the right lane, I found myself being honked like crazy by that car. I didn't pay a lot of attention when I got onto Alderbridge. By then, my speed was about 80km and I was following the traffic in the front. But that car started to tailgate and flash me. I still didn't do anything. Suddenly, the traffic at the left lane cleared up and that jerk passed me from the left and tried to cut me off ( without signals of course). The distance between me and the car in the front is close (less than 1 car) because of heavy traffic in my lane. That jerk was trying to scare me and I was getting mad. So instead of squeezing the brakes, I put my foot on the gas to force him out of my lane. I also honked him for about 5 seconds. After that, the jerk went back to my tail and started to flashing me again. This time I didn't wanted to play with him anymore since my car is old. But he followed me closely for almost 10 min. in Richmond. I let him follow and drove slowly around the city. Finally he gave up at a traffic light and got off the car trying to treaten me. Luckily, there was lots of ppl around the intersection, I didn't budge him a bit and just drove away. Actually, to see that jerk (a cantonese around 20 something~) standing there yelling and fingering on a busy street is kind of funny. I guess I should have driven to the Police station and watched his reaction.........
