    yeah but define interfering with their procession.

    Was I in the wrong for driving parallel to them and then giving them three honks and then dropping to 2nd and gunning it.

    I've NEVER seen this happen... only time i saw it was when on a road trip on the highway in like NC or something
    You gotta be kidding. I see one atleast once a month if not more. You do realize what one looks like, right???

    I really think it's disrespectful not to. Honestly.

    ...I'm gonna go with yes.

    By "interfering" I mean cutting in the line, gettin in front and slowing down, tailgating the last guy, revving against them, honking at them etc. Just move two lanes over and pass slowly. They don't expect to stop a highway...but they probably do expect respect. And when they get it, they're more greatful than you'd think.

    Honeslty I think it is respectful. And when you are in the procession it is nice to see people acknowledging it and stopping. I can't explain it, but thats how I have felt. So yes I stop.
