I give drivers a 4 second period when they're allowed to be a little slow in the brain. Any more than that and I'm on the horn. I do laugh at the ones that do stupid **** when I'm in my dad's crappy farm truck. It hasn't been washed in 3 years.
A. You won't damage my car.
B. Does it look like I'm going to do much to avoid it?

I'm seriously tempted to just start crashing straight into them. Nothing major, maybe a little tap at 3 MPH. Just enough to crumple a fender or a driver's door, maybe take out a headlight cluster in the process. That'd be an easy $1,000 repair bill, and all I'd have to do it straighten out my front license plate a bit afterwards. (It's already bent.)
If someone is doing something illegal, and you collide, it's automatically their fault. Chances are, they will be ticketed as well.

Probably true, but also likely to tear the **** out of the front of my car in the process. Honestly, I'm not looking for max hitpoints here, just a nice compromise between not inconveniencing myself too much and causing a satisfactory amount of irritation / inconvenience to the other party.
I should probably start carrying a digital camera in the car at all times if I'm going to start doing this. Who knows- enough insurance claims for people hitting me and I might be able to get my car painted a uniform color.
I try never to make assumptions like these in re motor vehicle law.

ha actually same here, my cavalier DD hasn't had a working horn for over 2 years now.
And yes, 70% of the drivers that **** me off and cause me to enact road rage are female (usually they're on the phone) and the other 30% are yuppies who fancy themselves street racers in their leased lexus.
