i think im goin to add the 'left blinker' to my arsenal of impatient left lane passing tactics.. :P
1) approach as fast as possible. sometimes this is enough to get the slow driver to move over in fear.
2) <new item> left blinker.
3) flash high beams twice.
4) turn high beams on and leave them on.
5) ride their *** as close as the xenon cutoff lets me, cant waste that precious rearview glare.
6) honk/hold the horn.
with a 15-30 second delay between the layered steps. these are used only if theres is no way around, i just go around them if i can.

My blood pressure rises every day precisely because of that. I think they're just left-wing
extremists who can't accept our social norms of staying to the right.
Of course, when I see folks on the running trails running on the left side, I just knock them down.
Too bad I can't run them over on the roads.

LOL!!
Just this past Sunday, I was leaving church. Before I left, I was chatting with my friend Cindy and her teenage son. His bday was Monday. Well, we both got in our cars to go home. About half way home, I realized that I'd forgotten to tell him Happy Bday. So I sent him a text message. He replied w/a thanks and wondered whyTF I was driving and typing at the same time. Great, I'm being put in check by a 15 year old now, haha.

Add this to your aresenal too
Move over so your headlight is shining in their left side mirror. That usually gets their attention more than getting close to their rear end because often times, the light cuts off below the top of the trunklid. This works especially well at night with xenons (because they're annoying) and because most people don't have outside dimming mirrors (unless it's a fellow German car).
