There might not be enough lanes though. The only guaranteed way is to get close enough that you can look in through their rear window to see their speedometer.
And last time or two I checked like 3 of the top 10 were all from subs that are clones of amitheasshole
They didn't even do that though. It was an absolutely brand new 1 karma account that somehow mysteriously didn't get automodded to hell. Account created 09:00:27 UTC, then Ally Bank comment at 09:11:37 UTC
They mentioned Ally Financial as one of the success cases so I did a quick search for recent posts about Ally and sure enough the very first result from outside their own sub has this user contributing to the conversation:
