Bad idea. Always. If someone blasts through and smashes you flat, your life is over. So far, it's fair.
But the other person (if not a sociopath) suffers the mental anguish that comes from harming another person. You don't have the right to inflict that on someone.
And what of other bike riders in your area? Now you've contributed to painting them with the "reckless and rule defying" brush. Nice job.
