You bring up good points. I was trying to find out if these were a bunch of kids pranking their dad or brother....but it doesn’t appear that way.

I guess for the same reason when I was driving up I95 in Philly several moths back and someone got close, hit my mirror then sped off. I guess they like wreaking havoc “because they can”.

The Plains Indians used to have a thing called “counting coup”. The idea was to ride up to an enemy, touch him (but not hurt him), and then ride away. To do this was a sign of great bravery.

Perhaps we are seeing a modern version of counting coup here.

There is, however, a big difference. The Indian way truly was a sign of great bravery, as the enemy was quite willing to kill you. In the modern case all you’ve got is confused and terrified people in a car.
