I drive too fast, but I am not aggressive with others...those of you who tailgate, don't do it around me or you will end up paying for repairs (sorry can't stand that sh_t).

I guess my worst vice is that jerkoffs that swerve in and out, I make sure they don't pull that crap around me. I am usually rather courteous, but if there is some putz yo-yoing around--

On a four lane highway through a city I used to live in, I watched this idiot weaving in and out, so I pulled right up with another driver and blocked knuckleheads passing...mind you we were still going a bit over the speedlimit. Well, idiot is swerving back and forth behind the two of us, then he crosses the double yellow and attempts to pass as we round a bend. Heh, not only was there a car oncoming around the bend, but THANK GOD ALMIGHTY it was a cop. After he was pulled over, I circled back--nice and slow--so the jerk could see he was OWNED!

I had a guy passed me and cut me off(there wasnt enough room between me and the guy on the right so i had to slam on my brakes) last week and gave me the finger (pt owner) and he had to stop at the stoplight about 30 seconds later and i pulled up next to him and he wanted to race so of course I rev it up, then I see a cop sitting in his car up ahead at a gas station. So I really rev up my car roll down my window and start talkin trash (so he doesnt see the cop) Light turned green I floored it up to the speed limit and let off, he looks in his rear view mirror and I know he had to see me waving :) Of course he got pulled over. Probably about 20 or 30 over too.

After he was pulled over, I circled back--nice and slow--so the jerk could see he was OWNED!
I did the same :)

I've done most of them but have calmed down lately, it is just not worth. But boxing them in is always effective. If I in the slow lane and someone is tailgating, I just slow down even more - there is another lane for a reason.

I am the weapon in the car in case of a conflict!!! I drive in a fairly normal manner, the speed limit plus the cushion (5-10mph) and 75-80 mph highway speeds, I don't tailgate or lane hop and I will give way if someone rolls up behind me without tailgating...now I won't start stupid actions, but I will react when it's initiated. I hate the *&#@holes who pull out in front of you without even looking or the j@%&offs who insist that the cellphone is necessary to automobile operation...Most people can't drive without the distraction of the phone!!!...Ahhh, rant complete, now I feel better

I'm usualy pretty mellow in my HHR. Not so much in the other cars I've owned. I like getting in front of someone who has pissed me off and slowing down and boxing them in when I can.

Isn't flashing your brights the universal "i'm faster than you are" signal? Even some cars (i.e. FC chassis RX7's) have a "flash to pass" lens for the retracted headlights. Even motorcycles like Harleys have those bar mounted lights and are referred as "flash to pass" lights.
