Flash to pass modification .. revisited!

Even though I've been on here for more than 10 years (they tell me) I somehow managed to miss this thread when it came around. Luckily it got archived and I found it again by accident while searching for something else:

Doing a flash-to-pass out here, that just makes the driver in front get all belligerent.

Here in Ol' Virginny, it's a toss up, which I take. As to those who don't move, I'd say it's half belligerent and half just too timid to do anything at all.
