I experienced it a few weeks back but it was in a traffic queue into a retail park.  The young man's anger really shocked me.

I find it quite amusing when those brave young men suddenly decide not to pursue the matter when a rather large gorilla of a man emerges from the target car.

Such angry drivers out there.. Not only men.. 
I was amazed when a woman stuck her finger up at driver in a car park.. She insisted that she SAW the space before he had..
She was a pensioner.. He was a polite college kid..
I wonder if she would have done the same thing to a tough looking guy or woman!!
I would have stood my ground with her.. I don't think she had a knife .. But you never know..

I hate it when a car drives very close behind me.. Eager to overtake.. 
They go shooting off.. at a silly speed.. lost over the horizon..
I usually catch up with them at the next traffic lights..

Just gently slow down.  Two advantages:
- they will have to slow down as well;
- if they do hit you from behind, it won't cause as much damage.

Do you have a rear-facing dash cam?  I do, as one fine day...

I try not to play silly buggers with other drivers.. 
There are some cranks out there.. Capable of anything..
I just want to get to where I am going without any trouble.. 
Best way to be..

Sounds like one of those big men who will shout and and threaten a woman on her own.
One day, he'll do it with a bigger bloke who will not be nice to him!
