Normally I keep quiet about this stuff but I got to say that one of my
biggest rules of "playing" on the highway is if your gonna potentially kill
yourself, fine, do it alone. Dont potentially kill someone else because your
having the most fun you've ever had. Especially around big rigs, You never
know when someone is going to pull out to pass or will pull out in front of
the rig to pass another rig. And especially when you have to use the
-->shoulder<--  to pass somebody. Thats just WAY not cool. 
I freely admit, I do play with other drivers on the freeway and at times,
(Not often) on streets. My number one rule is, if there is any traffic
ahead, I back out of the throttle, slow down and pass with care. Then when
the road is clear again, play! Cars are not expecting traffic to pass them
doing 120. So when you do it, it shocks them. "Cutting accross 5 lanes to
pass"?? Come on guy......
