It really isn't worth winding someone up to that effect. Don't know if you are old enough to remember Kenneth Noye. He got into a road rage with a young lad, they got out to confront each other. The young lad was some sort of martial arts expert, Noye had a knife and stabbed him to death.
Best thing to do is just pull over and let then pass. I always think it's better to have them in front if me so I can see them easier, rather than keep looking in my rear view mirror and not concentrating with the traffic ahead.
I agree with you to a degree, but there was nowhere to pull over to let him pass, and I maintained my speed (60 mph) and didn’t slow down. Wanted to convey the message that he’s too close and it didn‘t get through and granted, I got a bit excitable but he was just some meathead trying to look hard. In hindsight, my emotions probably got the better of me and I should have just completely ignored him but it’s so hard sometimes when you feel you are being put at risk, and short of driving off the road into a ditch, there was no way to let him past.
I don‘t agree with brake testing or anything like that and I try not to add to the risk.
Giving someone the evils as they drive past is the limit of my actions nowadays.
