172 Cup
It will save you a lot of trouble!
This happened recently.. I was making my way home from work in heavy traffic on the motorway when someone pulled behind me in the RH-most lane, flashing constantly and very close to my bumper. I was in that lane for a reason and I can't stand that kind of behaviour, so flicked my mirror to anti-dazzle and kept going past the car to my left. When the traffic ahead slowed, he darted to my left and started hurling things at my car out his window. He was a kid, probably around 18, driving some beaten up silver Focus, so I figured OK F this and found a space to move over once his lane slowed down too. He then came alongside me on the right, again shouting & swearing, so I wind my window down to "politely" ask him what he thinks he's doing.. at which point he side-swipes into the driver's door and speeds off - cutting all 4 lanes of traffic to the hard shoulder and driving >100mph until he's out of view.
This is how my car looks now:
So, lesson learned: as much as there are some proper c***s on the road at times, if someone is behaving aggressively around you, just get out their way and let karma catch up with them another time. I was lucky to get away with a dented door, tbh.
