nevertheless, anybody who drives had better learn to recognize/speak fuckheads. i had a fuckhead 18 wheeler brake check me at 85mph 2 weeks ago, maybe i should have run him over, he's a fuckhead.
but you obviously think you are too smart/elite to think you need to spot fuckheads. so carry on with your correct way of operating a motor vehicle which includes running over people, hihg-speed chases, putting your family in jeopardy, getting your $50k rig smashed up, getting sued and getting you ass beat. i will instead take driving seriously and know how to avoid confrontation on the highways.

I was driving a 5 series BMW when I got harassed for the other driver's "mistake" so I wasn't ramming anything. I was calmer and cooler than I've ever been behind the wheel and just avoided the other vehicle as best I could. I wish I had an SUV with a bullbar in that situation. Would have been good fun although they probably wouldn't have acted as badly in that situation.
I've also been harassed by an 18 wheeler on a country highway late at night with no one around for miles. I don't really know what the problem was. Maybe I was going a mile under the speed limit according to his instruments even though mine showed me doing the limit.. maybe he was bored out of his mind and just wanted to fuck with me.. maybe he was in the middle of an amphetamine psychosis. I was tail gated severely and harrassed. I sped up considerably to give me a lot of space to pull over and let him pass. A mile further down the road he'd pulled over to let me pass so he could tail gate and harrass me again. My main point in the two stories I've told now is that it's not always possible to avoid a situation with fuckheads. You can be completely innocent and try and extricate yourself from the situation and they will still come after you. I now know of the defective sub-human trash I have to share the road with and operate accordingly. But every situation isn't the same. Surrounded by animal bikers in an SUV I would do pretty much the same except probably drive about 30mph in order to allow time for the police to reach the highway before hitting any traffic. I don't really envisage a scenario where I let the car stop or slow long enough for the riders to get off their bikes even if it means going cross country to get on the freeway going the other direction. It's good this guy showed how not to get away so now others in the same situation have a chance to do it properly. He had the right idea, just his execution was poor. It didn't even look like he had his doors locked.
If it was actual outlaw bikers it would be a completely different situation. Then again they're not fuckheads like these guys as they aren't stupid enough to attract police attention by doing this sort of shit. Not to mention the undermining of their PR attempts. Groups of harley riding patched bikers are generally very well behaved on the freeways.
