You enjoyed his frustration? Cool. What made you so confident that it would remain mere frustration and not boil over into violence?

A guy is shaking his fist at you, racing up to your bumper, and contemplating passing you on the shoulder and you didn't feel unsafe?

Yup.

Funny, I don't wonder at all why you haven't. I already know.

At least you enjoyed it. Those types bring out some road rage in me and leave me feeling angry.

You were in the right, but that doesn't make your behavior right. Pull over and let him pass, it has no real impact on your day or life, and you may just avert a tragedy that destroys two families lives. It just isnt worth it IMO.
Sorry you got it backwards , the guy driving behind did not have the maturity to assess the situation and change his behavior, he is the one who could have incited road rage.

I see now why we have so many bad drivers now with them thinking the car driving well is the problem.

If you want to go faster and you can't be bigger than a mental toddler and slow down.

When there is an auto accident, who gets maimed or killed has little or nothing to do with who is "at fault".
