Since I am well into my 30's and have long ago given up on 90% of the shit that makes us kids, I don't go out of my way to start things with people on the road. But I do enjoy teaching lessons to those who need to learn. Rather than racing or trying to out do people, I prefer to infuriate aggressive drivers who only seem to care for themselves.
For instance, the other day I was on a two lane highway and someone was just floating in the left lane, slowly passing another car. I was behind them in the left lane and and they were going to get around the other car soon enough for my patience, so I wasn't tailgating them too bad. From way back, I saw a car coming up fast and I knew they were going to ride my ass like no other. Sure enough, this guy just rode straight up onto me, so close that I couldn't see anything through the rear window except for his stupid Lexus. I didn't see a woman in labor in his passenger seat, and he wasn't waving or flashing his lights like there was some dire emergency, so it seemed to me that he was just a pushy asshole. What I didn't like was that he was tailgating me really bad when I was CLEARLY not the one who was holding up traffic.
So what did I do? Absolutely nothing. Actually, I slowed down a tiny bit and let the car in front of me have some more lead. After about 30 seconds, I began to overtake the car in the right lane. As to be expected, the moron behind me staged his car in preparation to try and pass me as soon as he was clear of the car to his right. I let the car in front of me have a little more space, so they were a few hundred feet in front of me now. Then, as I gradually moved past the car to my right, I dropped into 4th gear. He lunged into the right lane and passed me by.
I let him get a nice head start on me, maybe 3 car lengths, then I put the pedal down, overtook him on the left, cut him off and then slowed down when I got next to the car that I had been behind a few moments before. And I proceeded to match their speed, basically blocking him off again.
He was fuming mad. He gave me the finger. I laughed good and hard. After a couple of miles I let him around me, and has he drove past me, yelling and flipping me off, I just laughed and laughed and gave him the thumbs up. Nothing better than giving some yuppy a good ass-chapping.

Or this other time, when I was coming up to on ramp to the highway, and some guy just cut me off because he was stuck behind a semi and he didn't want to wait for me to fly past him -- there were no other cars behind me, he just had to dart out in front of me and make me slam my brakes.
Well, he and I both merged onto the highway, and as we met with the right lane of traffic, I swooped out and around him, overtook him and then parked myself next to a slow car in the right lane. You're in a hurry? No manners? Now you have to wait. So I just let him sit there behind me, stewing, for 3 exits. I eventually let him go because two other cars had piled up and I didn't want to hold innocent people hostage. Once again I got the finger, I gave him a big toothy grin and a thumbs up.
These stories suck. Please move over to let cars go by. If you are worried about your safety just pull over or ask for help.
Who is the aggressive dick?
Only a matter of time before an ass kicking is administered or a skilled driver baits you into getting in over your head. Hope nobody else gets hurt.
You are as bad or worse than those "kids". Grow up.
This entire "kill stories" forum(that doesn't endorse street racing) ought to be shut down.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
I don't think it's worth spending your nerves and energy to put the wrong people in their place. I'm sure life will punish them for their carelessness - the main thing is that a normal person in another car isn't there at that moment...
In AZ, behavior like this is how you get shot and set on fire.
I love guys like this. It's always fun to push them into doing something stupid and they end up in a hedge.

I hope there will be fewer such stories - all the same, your health is the most important thing.
Nah his stories are great.
So many foolish drivers either forgot, or never learned that if you want to merge into another lane, you don't have the right of way. Ever. You yield.
When people are suspected of trying to cut me off, I close that distance fast. There is no reason you "need" to go in front of me, when there are 4 care lengths of space behind me.

Not the OP clearly.
I'm the same type of driver in that you had better show common courtesy on the road or I'll grief you given the opportunity. If you tailgate I'll brake. If you try and cut me off I will close the distance. If you don't have the right of way, you yield. Cutting people off and unnecessary speeding is unsafe, regardless of the vehicle or driver.

Courtesy is met with courtesy, rude behavior is met with rude behavior.
If you need to merge, you don't have the right of way. Period. Either get in the appropriate lane with time and reason, or wait your turn when someone feels like letting you go.
I don't brake check people I think that's stupid. And brake checking someone in a performance car with performance brakes is silly. I don't tailgate much but if I am, I promise my full attention is on the car in front of me and the gap between us, until I change lanes or traffic lightens up and space is created naturally.
Really my only pet peeves are lane merging, not signaling, and just doing random ridiculous stuff that is unsafe for everyone, like for example flying across 3 lanes to make an exit you missed, causing 3 cars to brake on a freeway. Just take the next exit you moron, it isn't a life or death situation 99.9% of the time.

Purposely infuriating people could lead to so dangerous outcomes. If something dire ever happens to your vehicle while on the road, please contact roadside assistance.

Just the idjit pass. You can’t fix stupid. But you can show the idjit what you and your bimmer can do. My gf and I were in WV for a weekend. Coming back home to VA some yahoo in a caddie boat decided to get up close and personal with my 330Ci. I slowed down a bit and he passed me. After he pulled into the lane I kept up with him. The road started to get twisty and I easily passed him in one the the turns.
