Had an encounter a little while ago at some lights where a driver took offense to my very safe lane splitting. About 10 k later he appeared next to us (mrs on back) doing some pretty silly swerving & fist raising so i let him go. Pulled up at next set of lights & sat behind him as i thought id upset him enough. lights turned green, he takes off & slammes on the brakes. Could have killed us both, lucky the car behind us was on the ball. Wants me to pull over - more fist waving.
Although i was seeing red & quite happy to dance at that point we kept going. Just not worth it.
In the end i think i had more satisfaction knowing i did the right thing & was the better person
I do know where he lives but !!
i take satisfaction at the point the tin tops start frothing at the mouth like this guy did.no need too prove a point at that stage his missus will point it out too him when he comes home pissed off for what she will see as no reason. shit even in the car i get a laugh out the idiots racing through the traffic just to meet them again later down the road through intelligent lane swaps at the speed limit
