Is my Z threatening?

I'm totally fine with them tailgating me in traffic. It puts them into a position where they don't have space to go around me; I now control them as I slow down to a speed where adjacent lanes are going too fast to cut into. Am I an ******* and maybe making traffic worse? Sure. Do I enjoy helping them lie in the bed they made? You bet.

Mind you, I don't left lane camp or anything. I'm the least aggressive driver. They could easily have just driven by, but they just have to display their machismo.

Don't get me started on their light bars or how every ******* jeep has those ebay led headlights now that blind everyone.

I've had some of my more redneck acquaintances brag about their lights and they'll blind someone that's in their way. So I mentioned that I'd just slow down, seeing how then I'd be blind. Their thought was well then they'll just ram me off the road. Sure, okay. I really don't understand that mindset.

That light **** has gotten to the point where I'm seriously considering installing a very, very HID strobe light facing rear and aimed ab SUV windshield height.

Wasn't the person behind you with their brights on a target of George Carlin in one of his bits? Something like he has his brights on just in case I wanted to read. Got my copy of War And Peace here.

Yup, I've done it too. I was already speeding(50 in a 35) and some dude flew up on me, right on my bumper and just stayed there. I sped up a little bit just to make room and then settled back at 50, and he took it up, so I just held my speed. Saw him start throwing his hands up getting frustrated, so I pulled the car to neutral, tapped my brakes just enough for him to see the brake lights, and we coasted down to 20mph for the last couple miles to the redlight where we went our separate ways. There's no telling how many names he made up to call me.
