Charles Bukowski wrote, "When I drive the freeways, I see the soul of humanity of my city and it's ugly, ugly, ugly." The unwritten rule of freeway driving is to drive aggressively.

The trick is to quickly change lanes then hit your turn signal as if to say, "That's right man, I just cut you off."
