Its a kind of passive insult in a way and the drivers (if they are looking through their rear-views, which I doubt they are) feel like an idiot. At least I feel like an idiot when people do that kind of thing to me when I'm being an idiot. Either way it doesn't make me angry to do it.

Now that I re-read this, it sounds pathetic, but whatever.
No, what's pathetic is that my instinct reaction "I'm 0.25 seconds away from a collision" shout is "DUDE!" Think about it: if I ever screw up, my last ****ing word on this planet is going to sound like some frat boy bull****. It pisses me off everytime it happens ... I need to train myself to just yell "HEY!" or something.
