So why not get out of their way?  It costs you nothing.  If you're passing
traffic, then you get to the front of the traffic and let a potentially dangerous
situation defuse itself.

By saying, no, I'm going fast enough so the hell with you, and continuing to
annoy this person, you may well end up getting in an accident.

Me, personally, I'd just as soon get out of the way.  It's no skin off my back.
