If people choose to be ignorant on the roads, stupidly tailgate others and cut them off... let them carry on doing it as what goes around comes around (seen it for myself). Its your life remember, so just takecare and drive safely.
Heres an example, couple years ago I was driving down through the country side in Hertfordshire area, I was slowly approaching this lady driving a ford focus and she was sticking to 30mph dead on. I just eased off a little on my speed and kept a fair distance behind her and followed her as it was nice to just cruise, evem though it was a long straight with no cars on the opposite end. Anyway, a few mins later I hear this roar from behind and behold its a boy racer in a sapphire cosworth. He was so close to me I couldnt even see the front of his car in my rear view mirror.
Thing is he was so busy trying to find every second to overtake me and the lady in front that he must have missed a "Z" sign which warns of sharp bends approaching. Needless to say I heard him floor it with his big 4" exhaust and dump valve going "psssht", he got past me and the lady in front then approached the blind bend and took it barely staying on the road. About what must have been a minute or so later the lady in front braked hard as I did too and you could see bits of broken headlight/indicator glass scattered on the bend, skid marks, a big section of the side railing with massive dent/scrape marks on it then finally a mangled cosworth with smoke bellowing out the engine bay. What a fool!
