Yeah not my proudest moments but whenever a douchenozzle zooms up behind me as I’m just getting around someone in the fast lane and I flip my blinker on to move back into the slow lane and I see the asshat darting into the slow lane to go around me I just keep moving over.
That’s the right thing to do though. You’re indicating switching lanes, finished passing, and they’re in the fast lane. I just assume they need to pull off at the next exit and ignore it.
You’re the asshole going 90 in a 65, swerving in and out of traffic.
If you want to try and brake check or fuck with me afterward that’s fine, I have a dashcam and am more than willing to follow you if you try hit and running. I’ve got the time, now.
I used to think a slightly different way when I was younger. That these bad drivers needed to be taught a lesson. I would always catch up to them at a red light and shake my head no in disapproval and do a thumbs down.
Then one day a driver I did that to stuck his hand out the window and waved a handgun in my direction. Looks like he had something to prove and wanted to teach me a lesson, too.
Lesson learned: no matter what, you never, ever try to shame, scold, escalate, or “teach a lesson” to another driver. Ever. You have no idea what that person may do, and how quickly they can end your life. Would be a shame for you to wind up on the news as a dead person and your family to learn you were killed due to road rage.
Over a decade since that incident, I’m married and would never do such a thing. If I had children, especially when in my car, I’d hate for them to see negative/retaliation behavior come from me - or worse, for them to see me exhibit any kind of road rage. I’m now older, wiser, and a much safer driver and better human being all around.
Granted if someone tried a hit and run, I’d be on the phones with the cops and would follow them from a distance enough to get a good description and tag numbers.

Same. I doing the things I’m supposed to.
