Move your car over just enough so that it will block the strip on the side of the road.
That's particularly fun when there's a large concrete abutment there. I love the look on 'jerks' faces when they see they're quite effectively blocked from passing illegally on the right.
It's really great when you can get a big rig driver to coordinate this move. My CB radio comes in real handy for situations like that.
As a last ditch resort one can always open the passenger side door and let the fool tear it off. That'll really slow him or her down.
Not to mention the fact that it'll earn them a couple of traffic tickets.

Geller is going overboard, though. Like cops are going to SIT at a long line of cars handing out tickets to buttinskis? Meanwhile, while they're doing that, fifty other drivers do the same thing!
How about defining it as "reckless" driving and just allow cops, if they see it, to hand out tickets on that basis? We don't need a new law.
Broward County is the next county north of Miami-Dade County, where this all began forty years ago. (And has gradually moved north and west).
"Cutting in line" is a Miami tradition. :-(
The next set of fines should be for rubberneckers who cause a lot of those long lines by needlessly gawking at accidents or, worse, at a car simply stopped on the side of the road.
She did indeed get a ticket, I heard all about it when she got to work about an hour late.
So he wants to make it a crime to be rude in traffic?
Doesn't anyone object to just how incredibly absurd this is? This is WAY too meddlesome.
Why don't they make causing a traffic jam illegal instead? Probably because they'd have to arrest their entire road planning and maintenance departments. The morons go out there and create these situations and then want to blame others for trying to spend as little time sitting idle as possible.
I have driven in many cities in my time but Phoeniz, Az must have the most rude, aggressive drivers of all time where stuff like this goes on at every entry and directional signals? I don't think that vehicles there have them.
I wholeheartedly agree. Only once did I see a proper reaction to it. Travelling north on Interstate 95, between Richmond and Washington, cars were flying along both shoulders passing all of the rest of us who were sitting in an endless backup, made worse by those idiots. Two truck drivers, working in harmony, pulled their rigs off on either side of the highway with their cabs joined together in the middle. Everyone in sight of them, as I was fortunate to be, began applauding them.
Waah, waaaah! Teacher, he cut in front of me and didn't give him cuts!-Sen. Steven Geller, D-Hallandale Beach (tattletale,whiner,dim)
Ok, this is something that irks me--and it's not what you think. I'm driving on the freeway and I see signs saying left lane closed, 1 mile. If I'm driving in the left lane, at what point should I merge to the right?
I maintain that to the extent possible, as safely as possible, and for as long as possible, drivers should make use of the left lane.
It drives me nuts when some driver, often a truck, blocks off the left lane half a mile from the bottleneck.
Just to be fair, when I'm in the right lane and at the bottleneck, I always try to allow someone to merge in front of me--the idea being one of taking turns.
What makes me angrier is the people in the front who let them cut the line! I'll let someone merge in from a side street, but I refuse to let anyone coming from the same direction cut in with a last minute merge.
Bad idea. I'm no friend of line-cutters (hate 'em, actually), but some of those people are just unfamiliar with the road ahead. That's why they're out of line in the first place. They're not jerks. You can't make that a crime.
I'd wager there will be more prosecutions under this law than under any of the immigration laws.
Why do we need this law when we have concealed carry? ;-)
I can't stand it when we see a sign that says, "Merge into one lane in two miles."
And cars start lining up in one line two miles away, leaving one clear lane for miles ahead.
If they want to drive like that, let them. But don't blame me if I wait until the signs tell me I have to merge before I do it.
One evening, on the way home, I was on the highway entrance ramp. It was a slow crawl.
Some person behind me absolutely had to be in front of me so I thought, why bother, let this person go. At least whoever it was signaled.
Fine. Then the ramp merges down from two lanes to one. Another car stayed to the right (lane that was ending) and wouldn't yield to Mr. or Mrs. had to be in front of me, who wouldn't yield to Have to be in front of Mr. or Mrs. had to be in front of me.
Naturally they collided, side by side. I could figure that each one would blame the other.
I would rather not have legislation as the person who usually does this kind of thing has universal right of way disorder- the more in the wrong the person is, the more self righteous he or she will be.
