About a 1/4 mile ahead they pulled over and start talking to each other. When I caught up to them the driver cursed at me again and told me to "get the F--- off the road". My blood hit it's boiling point and I yelled "F--- OFF"!
About a mile down the road the truck passed me again and cursed at me again. I did not see the other vehicle and became a little concerned, so I pulled over and waited for a minute. Sure enough the car came down the road, the passenger yelled and cursed at me as they drove by. I waved him to come back but they continued down the road.
In the past, I have had the typical horn honk and once a yell as I was passed. Up until this point, I have been able to ignore this but I have never had a group get this aggressive. Anyway, after the fact, I'm not to happy with myself for losing my temper. It could have become really ugly.
Lean over and shoot the guy a "moon"as he passes you.
