I've been working on just swallowing my pride and pulling over.

This one time in particular made me realize how dangerous it is to be a jerk. Some guy was tailing me really close in a no-pass, curvy area, so I slowed down to around 10mph in a 50 zone. I had room to pull over, but who cares? I ended up going between 5 and 10 for about a mile before he ended up passing me and throwing something at my car all the while yelling a long string of obscenities. Reflecting on it, I kind of figure if he had any kind of weapon he would have used it.
