Man, I don't want to get sucked into this thread, but it's just so maddening.

Lane changes aren't the best way to block. If a guy's right on your bumper, and he switches lanes to pass, he's pretty much already around you and it's a done deal.
I'll use the other slower cars in lanes to my right, match their speed to block. If they change their speed, I change to match.
This is a total rehash of the other thread which is pointless, but it's still funny. Like will I block someone going 65 in a 55? No. Will I block a huge line of cars who want to go with the flow of traffic in the left lane going 75 in a 65? No. But I'll block that one standout person who's driving more aggressively or much faster than the rest of the crowd on the roadway. It's not the same thing as a grandpa cruising the left lane at 45 with his blinker on. It's a conscious decision to make what I feel is a positive impact on the roadway.
Now to avoid a bunch of flaming posts coming my way, let me preemptively say this:
- I don't care what you think about it.
- I don't care what you think cops would say about it.
- I feel much safer on the road doing this than I do letting some maniac weave in an out of lanes up ahead of me.
