I see it every day I'm on the roads. Seems to be more common among people driving large pick-up trucks and high end import cars.
Personally I think it should be worth a 1-year minimum drivers license suspension and vehicle confiscation the first time they bust you doing it with 100% draconian enforcement. It's an absolute knowing deliberate belligerent act and should be dealt with accordingly.
I agree in spirit but not a no exceptions. Over the years I've had a few times where oncoming traffic just sits there. Couple that with having a 'three way' light on my commute home that is totally unlabeled and I just can't support a no exceptions enforcement.
