The best action to this idiot is to do complete defensive driving and avoid him at all costs!!I know I have gotton so mad at sometimes I feel like really doing some damage to a cager but in this day and age there are so many Meth/Drug users and people that carry guns that all they have to do is pull it out and shoot your ass!! We had a crazy driver here in Tucson that was weaving in and out of traffic and almost hit this guy on his Harley that when they came to a stop sign the guy on the Harley said something to the guy about his driving and that he should be more careful with his driving. Well when they pulled away from the stop light the guy in the Van caught up with the guy on the Harley and rear ended him at the next intersection going 60+ miles and hour. The guy on the Harley ended up in the engine compartment of an on coming car at the intersection.Very sad outcome but the guy was arrested for first degree murder and is in prison now in Florence. I'm sure he is having fun with the HA's that are in Florence!!! The paper said the guys wife had just asked for a divorce and he was upset????????????

I know the conventional wisdom is to swallow your pride and let the [jerkoffs] get past you asap, but I had this bozo this weekend on I-90 who was flying down the right lane, then swerving over into our group of riders in the left lane trying to pass a semi, tailgating 2 inches off our bumpers, etc. He'd get by, then slow down to screw with us some more. For 10 miles he was playing games, before we luckily hit the I-Pass and left him behind.

Everything we did, even tried to nicely wave him back, this guy is smiling away while play these games going 70+ mph. The thing that sucks is, although the guy deserved a smack in the head (or much, much worse), the reality is, anything we did would have turned us into the villian.

Beyond the curling option, what other techniques seem to help in such situations? I'm so pissed, I've spend the last day thinking of all sorts of Jame Bond weapons to fab and mount to deal with the next prick, but before taking such measures, I'm just wondering if there's any tricks anyone has used to help turn the tables?

Coming home from Myrtle Beach the group of us had an encounter on I95 where this cager was pushing us off the road and splitting us (straddling the lanes and pushing us over so he could go between us).....I was so angry that he would endanger our lives on a stupid maneuver doing 80 mph ....I raced up to his front fender trying to get his attention........he would not look my direction and I had nothing to throw his direction.......worse thing of all in the back of this Lincoln was a leather biker jacket hanging up.......it fumed me so much I was tempted to do something really stupid

I think it depends upon the tilt of the Earth on its axis...and if you FOLD the map...Florida is right at the border of Virginia...

Oh thats the trick...I shoulda done that before riding to CHL, it'd only taken 6 hours... :P
