He'll get even less if he flashes his hi-beams.

I don't find that rude. It is to let the driver in front know that faster traffic is approaching, since it is often difficult to determine the speed of traffic in a rear view mirror. It also gives the front driver time to begin a safe lane change before the faster vehicle arrives.

I find it extremely rude and arrogant.

I'm scanning front, instruments, and mirrors. I don't need some wanker flashing his lights at me ... I already see him.

I spend 2.5 hours every workday traveling in moderately heavy traffic, on 4-lane divided highways, at speeds well in excess of the posted limits. I see a lot of cars, and a lot of drivers. I'd say about 99% of these drivers know how to get along ... the real hazards to the rest of us are not the left-lane slowpokes. Such creatures are almost nonexistent.

The real hazards are the headlight-flashing tailgaters and the lane-weavers.

These foul folk should be taken out and shot.
