I always quite like the moment where someone cuts you up, snatches some road dangerously, shouts abuse of flicks a v or something only to hit lights up the road. It's nice to glide up to the driver's side window and just stare through with a quizzical look. The usual response is the 1000 yard forward stare, hands on the wheel, no acknowledgement of my presence. I'm not a big man and I have absolutely no intention of getting into a ruck with anyone ever. But this little moment just sums up the cowardice and ignorance associated with some people's behaviour when protected by their little metal boxes. I usually pull away from them with a smile and a wave and generally make progress to my destination with more speed and less stress than them. Good times.
