I guy comes up behind me, and follows along just like everyone else.  I don't take much notice, until after a while, he gets a lot closer.  After a few minutes, he manages to get into the next lane to the right and passes me, then swerves in front of me on purpose, so close he almost hit me.  He's waving his hand angrily to tell me I should have moved over and let him through.  

I suppose I could have moved over, but then he would have simply been behind the car in front of me, and in the same situation.  We couldn't go any faster.  Was he intending to force every single car, all hundred or so of them in the left lane, to move over and let him through?  

After a bunch of horn honking and obscene gestures from both of us, he zig-zags through traffic and disappears.  

But then I got to thinking, was I in the wrong?  Again, there was no way I could drive any faster, due to the cars in front of me, and there was no way he could, either.  Me moving over would have been pointless.  

Was I in the wrong?
