While driving in my street Haugerudhagan which has a speed limit of 30 kmph a taxi came very close to my rear, and suddenly he passed me. I was driving at 30 kmph so I felt that I had to notify the taxi driver that I did not agree with his action. So I did the only thing I felt was right, used the horn and flipped my finger. The result: He flipped his finger as well while slowing down to about 30, I disagreed since he had been the one breaking the law, not me, so I flipped the finger once again.
