> I really do just make this more dramatic that it seems. My heart rate doesn’t rise much at all if any, when this shit goes down. I am very alert and capable behind the wheel/handlebars…so my instinct and skill takes over and gets me out of the jams, unlike others that panic and make retarded moves to avoid stuff.

> Like I said, I am not hunting people down, they find me. **When they do I make it apparent that they are stupid for doing what they are doing.** simple as that. No hazard in that. **Throwing a sticky bun at a car is about the farthest I ever took anything. Spare change here and there too. l** ol Sorry but if you cant take a sticky bun hitting the windshield without causing a 50 car pile up and death… what happens when a tractor trailer tire blows out and 10lb rubber chunks are pelting you??? wacha gunna do then? I dont tailgate, dont swerve at people to scare/get back at them, I dont do 100 past them to blow their doors off, nothing aggressive here. Fuck most of the time I dont even lift off cruise control.

those people dont care one bit how you react, they look at you like :dunno this guy is nuts. then you become the story.  
now imagine that sitcky bun caused the person to wreck, you ARE THE INITIAL CAUSE, and therefore are LIABLE FOR THAT ACCIDENT and all its aftermath… bye bye house, job and life.

its road rage any way you slice it. both guilty parties, with one more extreme than the other. werent you in that bleez kids thread talking about his driving?

i think this is a big pot meet kettle situation here.

dont go nuts, if anything just give them a quick 1 finger salute, and go about your day, no sense in endangering others by flipping out on the guy who cut you off or split lanes.

personally, i would rather have some bikers split me, than be sitting in traffic. you should know bikes are an easy target, and sitting in traffic is just asking for marty the multi-tasker to spill his friendly’s firbble, and take his eyes off the road hitting an un protected biker. atleast in a car you have many safety systems in play.
