My mere presence on the roads have resulted in two cars needing to be towed.

One a guy so eager to overtake me that he forgot the speed bumps ahead. Hit so hard that something broke, left his car spewing fluids all across the road.
I didn't hang around.
To make matters even more absurd, this was heading INTO a road that dead-ends (for cars) in maybe 1/4 mile.
The other was a guy so eager to overtake he decided to take an intersection at the wrong side of a traffic island. He skidded at the corner, his rear wheel hit the curb hard enough to trash the wheel thoroughly.
Didn't hang around then either.
The urge to be ahead is strong in some.

I too have mainly given up talking to drivers. The odds of having a fruitful conversation are too low.
An incident need to be both seriously dangerous AND look intentional before I consider that option.
