Once you know Cipolla's theory of stupidity it's hard not to see it everywhere. A prime example is the van driver upthread. In the end where did that maneuver get him? Same with the lexus driver. So many pointlessly dangerous passes only to catch the fuckers at the next lights. It's always the first thing I say: 'and where did it get you?' http://www.quadllc.com/Quadrivium/Blog_and_Articles/Entries/2011/3/15_Prof._Cipollas_theory_on_stupidity.html
My mate asked this of a black cab driver that did a real dangerous close/punishment pass only to get to the back of a massive queue mere meters away from him. The black cab driver responded by throwing a hot coffee in his face as he sped off. This was in front of loads of people as well!
Actually in most of the cases I've said that ('& where did it get you in the end?') they've conceded that it was indeed pointless, in at least a couple of cases they looked utterly crestfallen. I am blessed with height and what can look like a very angry face, that possibly helps.
