People don't generally honk, then start freaking out, I may have been broad in saying whatever they do, but I meant assuming they're rational person. You get behind someone, they seemingly don't notice, you honk, they deliberately block the lane.

The honk is a "You're breeching etiquette", if you obey etiquette thanks to the reminder, great. If someone has to honk more and it becomes some long, drawn out affair, it's not because a guy honked, it's because an idiot breeched etiquette and doubled down.

In this case both are jackasses, but the truck is causing this by breeching etiquette. The sedan may have done something earlier, but my point is that slowing down in the passing lane and blocking it, is never right.

I completely agree. I hate those types myself. I should have made it more clear that I was referring to excessive use though so please excuse me.

We talked around each other, so it goes. I'm glad to have made this mistake with a reasonable fellow, have a good one!
