I thought about this Hummer privilage recently, it is something I have experienced since Day One of Hummer ownership, surprised I haven't thought about it a year & 19,000 miles ago. Unless the fast lane is packed, lone vehicle in front of my Hummer always pull out of the fast lane to let my Hummer pass. Many vehicles generally pull out the fast lane before I get there, if not, I slow down and keep a safe and polite distance. I don't flash my light and I don't tailgate but I do drive at 75-85MPH on freeway. I can imagine if I see this huge black box coming up in my review mirror at a fast clip, I'd get out of his way too. This afternoon coming home from work, in 18 miles, I counted 9 vehicles moved to the right lane for me, once I passed, they moved back into the fast lane. Including 3 cars pulled to the right at the same time to let me pass, that was amazing, I saw them all moved back into the fast lane after I passed. This is true with cars or SUVs or even big trucks. It is like Moses at the Red Sea.
