I do blow my horn at them at the time but I treat them like dogs - OK to yell at them during the incident but by the time 30 seconds have passed, they've either forgotten about it or self-justified and will just be angry if confronted. If it's really dangerous and I got a plate number I might report it, but that's never happened to me.

Here are the last couple of dumb ones. The first one I would have reported if I had a plate number. The second one, just an idiot being an idiot.

Oh lawds I just now watched those. My entire commute is on roads like that 1st vid, and thankfully I haven't experienced anyone passing coming towards me yet. But FWIW I always run my ExpiliOn 700 on daytime strobe during daylight hours. People have told me they can literally see the light flashing a mile away.
