I have all the traffic signals around my house pretty much timed so I know exactly when to drift and when someone roars past me in a huff I thoroughly enjoy passing them by at the next intersection.

I also have a tendency to use the car to slow traffic down for cyclists especially where lanes are a bit narrow. I figure we all have to look out for each other even when we are being temporary 'cagers'.
