Do you really not understand how your behaviour is causing others to react in negative ways? You've blocked him, then slowed him down, and then forced him to make an evasive lane change to get past you. Who is the problem here?
First IMHO I think that when you have small kids (your own or someone elses) you prolly shouldnt be speeding to begin with.

Um no. I did not MAKE him do anything. He had options on what he could do.. He CHOSE to do that. He CHOSE to put himself, his daughter, and others in danger. I DID NOT MAKE him do anything.

yes!!! some dude in a tribeca did this same maneuver to me on a sunday morning, but in the middle of the goddamn 101 south freeway. A DEAD STOP. Road rage makes people stupid.

needless to say, i wasn't feeling the 'subaru love'.

You are seeing what you want to see. What did I say? I said 'you forced him to make an evasive lane change TO GET AROUND YOU'. You just BRAGGED about not making way for the guy to go past you. The only way he was going to be able to do that was to pass you on the right. WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PASS PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT.

Any other weak excuses?

Just like he didn't drag you to his level? by tailgating all up in your rearview like a tail gator? You could have avoided the whole ****scene by letting him by.

Quit making excuses. He was wrong. You were wrong. Use better judgment next time, because 5000 lbs at 65 mph is no place to dick with people.

That is your prerogative. Going over the posted limit doesn't mean instant death, you choose to do what you want with your kids, don't try to be someone else's child's parent. For all you know the kids may have had to have gone to the hospital or was missing something important.

You don't make anyone do anything, you assist them with what they need to do. You were part of the problem, not any of the solution. Next time, yield to faster traffic if you are going slower, it would make the world a better place, stop trying to play police officer.

Say the dude stuffed himself into the car in front of him in the number 2 lane because you just wouldn't let him pass, how would you feel about that? All that could have been avoided if you were just a courteous driver and gave way (and I don't care if it wasn't your fault to begin with). Be the bigger man, don't try to 'own' a lane.

Worst I've encountered was a couple months ago on 680S. Early morning traffic where everyone was going ~10mph before the Sunol grade. I switch in to the slow lane and all the sudden a Toyota Camry (was ~3 cars lengths behind me when I finished changing lanes) starts flashing his high beams and honking like crazy. This continued for 5-10 seconds until I threw up my arms and did a "wtf" gesture. The guy then pulls in to the emergency lane, drives next to my car, and spits a huge loogie on the side of my window/door I tried to slow and get his license plate but he immediately pulled off the freeway

the guy did not have to tail his *** to get by him.. If he just stayed behind chicken he would of gotten where he was going just as fast give or a take a few seconds but the guy had to be and asshat and could of caused an accident very easily if chicken had to stop suddenly. Yes chicken shouldn't of ****ed with him so much but the guy shouldn't of been tailgating and be a complete idiot. The guy was obviously going ride everyone *** on a busy freeway since he needs his extra 20 seconds, time he would probably spend sitting at a stop light. But there is no reason chicken should of changed lanes to let him go if there was traffic directly in front of him since all he would do is make the person in the right lane slow down which would cause more traffic and "possibly" an accident. People who make others change lanes for NO REASON are one of the reason traffic is ridiculous. Also I can't tell you how many times I tried to get over to let someone like that guy by to have the guy almost rear end me since he tries to swoop around me at the same time even though i signal.

Some people also find it "fun" to shoot at drivers on the freeway that "toy" with them. Learn how to drive properly, or go buy a Civic to drive instead.

I hope your girlfriend was impressed because we're not.

Notice how you keep trying to justify your behaviour? 'I was already speeding.', 'There was more traffic up ahead.'. You are responsible for doing the right thing regardless of how others act. When someone is in a hurry, just let them by. He's on his way and you don't have anyone on your back bumper. See how easy that is? Everyone's happy and that much safer. If he runs into another ahole 3 car lengths ahead, so be it.
I agree. Just another example of a driver that has no consideration for other drivers.
