The number of people who call me (at work) to complain about someone tailgating them or flashing their lights is unbelievable. The first thing most of us ask is, "what lane are you in"? The usual answer is left. We tell the person calling to move to the right lane. Oddly enough, the tailgater drives past and the situation is resolved. We have even had a few people express their astonishment that the issue was so easily resolved. This isn't to say that I agree with tailgating and flashing your lights at someone because they won't drive the 30+ miles an hour over the speed limit as some people like to do.
All most people need is to relax, take a deep breath and let traffic flow.
