I really liked what you did

, but I have to +1 on the "ignore the JAM" posts
I have chased down several of these idiots, meaning to kick their asses. by several I mean like 8~9. EVERYTIME they were wimps, shrips, cowards, women, old folks, scared teens, pretty much people that wouldn't even stand a chance. People that would never ever confront anyone face to face, ever.
Once I figured that these guys were too weak to give me satisfaction I resorted to property damage to their vehicles. That was cruel, and unfair though.
Then I resorted ot doing things I learned here like smart comments and gestures. Oddly enough that made them very angry, but when I would not back down and seemed willing to escalate, they would **** brix and they would calm their asses down.
Then I read something on this forum. I am really dissapointed I dont remember the authors name or the exact quote but it went something like this
"you have the POWER and are in complete control to either escalate or END the stituation immediately....just pullover and let them pass".
In your case I would have just kept riding. (still loved the anecdote though. Thanks!)
