Just an observation: I'm sure your chuckle/attitude would have been quite different if as the smoke cleared you find yourself running into him or he rolls into you.

Bumpa-cars on I-95.

Always a fun time. . .especially if you aren't innocent one that becomes collateral damage in road-rage battles. Fun to watch and a misery to be the innocent hurt in the battle.

I'm sure it would have but I would have been more ticked off at the young fool in the swerving car for being an @$$. The fact is that you don't tailgate at 75mph, if another driver is in your way and there's plenty of room, you hit your blinker and cruise on by, no fuss, no muss.

I have spent many Sunday nights driving up 95 between Richmond and DC and I am very aware of what goes on in that corridor. I was doing 75 in the slow lane a few weekends ago as all lanes were bumper to bumper at the same speed and I nearly got run over by a semi tractor sans trailer w/a big black Earnhardt #3 painted into the front grill. And that Son-of-a-gun flashed his lights and blew his horn at me!

The funny part was that as I maintained my 75, slowing occasionally for slower vehicles, the semi passed me about 5 times in 50 miles worth of driving. All that lane jostling didn't do him, or anyone else for that matter, any good. He was just as far away from me in Richmond as he was when we got to Springfield. Difference was that my heart rate was alot lower than his was.
