By the time I get to within 1,000 feet of him i'm about a mile from my exit so I switch to the right lane in peperation. I'm still going the same speed this entire time....As I slowly cruise past him he beeps the horn at me so that I look back at him...he's widly flipping ME off. I just kept going, laughing all the way to my exit.

I've seen some reckless things before, but this one was just plain stupid and pointless. If I ever saw him I wouldn't even know what to say, I'm still trying to figure that one out...
You cannot completely absolve yourself on that one.

Passing on the right is not a proper move.........despite his clearly slow speed for the center lane.

I never really appreciate those that choose to move right and pass..........I usually put them in the category that is the title of the thread.

This is especially true when I have the van.........it's got very poor visibility on the right and, one of these days, I know that I'm likely to hit some moron who chose to pass there.

So, maybe your own behavior needs some reexamination.
