F**!**g Idiot FROM Ohio (Driver) Gives an unfriendly gesture used almost exclusively by FIFO drivers. When another driver does something polite, an FIFO driver will give a small wave with his/her middle finger as their sign of thanks. This usually gets strange looks from drivers from other states, but to Ohioans, it's instinct. FIFO drivers are the worst in the world. The will speed up as to NOT let you merge, they will even wreck their own car to stop you from merging. If you try to merge in front, you get the "Ohio wave". If you fail to merge in front or if they overtake you on the right lane, expect a "brake check" where the FIFO will jam their brakes, even stopping traffic on the Freeway. FIFO drivers will race, pushing their cars to the limit to get to a red light so that you won't get up front. Then barely accurate several seconds after the light turns green. Simply honk your horn to get the "Ohio wave". If the light you are approaching is green, the FIFO will slow excessively, anticipating it to turn red. FIFO break the speed limit going uphill, but will wear out their breaks to go extra slow down hill. FIFO drivers have been known to kill families by NOT letting others pass on a 2 lane road by accelerating, even if they have had you stuck going 15 mph under the speed limit for the last 5 miles.
