    This is actually a good technique in a road rage incident. If you're forced to stop, never get out of the car. Slowly distance yourself from the belligerent as they approach you. Drag this out as far as possible, creating distance between them and their vehicle. Hopefully their rage state will keep them following for a while, but once they quit and start to go back to their car, you accelerate rapidly and run them down.

    Just kidding, drive away while they're running back to the car.

    27 points Protheu5

    No, no, that's weak.

    Get them to run after you until they start to give up. Then taunt them. Point finger and laugh, for example. It will get at least about 80% more of the distance they ran before. With great taunting skills it may be possible to lure a road rager for hours.

    Two things to note, though:

    1. they should have at least somewhat decent physique, otherwise they get tired even from walking and lie down to die instead of keeping on foot

    2. they should be unarmed, so it may not work in the US where you might get shot

    When I took off my friend next to me told me to slow down and see how long they'd go. 100m was their limit, I was disappointed.

Two months later, the wife is getting sexed up every night by a different dude and the hubby is sitting home wankin it, just like he did before.

    Slurs are never appropriate. If this was a black guy that crashed and he used the N word would you feel differently?

    This is why I don’t brake check people anymore.

    But if you must, don’t actually slow down. Just make the lights flash.

    He may have been wrong to pass, you indeed are the typical "Jeep" driver and Jeep driver's are known for driving slow in left hand lanes and not willing to move over to the right hand lane. I'm not sure why but Jeep drivers feel like they need to regulate others on the road. You and your duckies need to move over and let faster traffic pass please.
