i'd say he is wrong...the corolla behind me one day decided to move slightly faster and overtake me on the right just to have a SUV pull out of a parking lot literally last second because the corolla was hidden behind my car and the corolla driver had to slam on brakes and swerve around the SUV ....after his butt finished clenching...he went slightly faster again
