TBH I'd probably laugh at the fact he's got so mad, and just carry on as I was. I wouldn't engage in a chest beating competition to see who's got the biggest balls.

You wouldn't be laughing when he see's you laughing and gets out of the car.

I know you wouldn't be laughing, because i've done just that..... Suddenly the oh so brave fake laughing fella turns into a pile of goo, the central locking clicks and the beads of sweat start to roll down his forehead. If his wife/SO is with him, this is where the fun really begins because that poor guy is gonna get his ear chewed right off for the next 4 hours and probably won't "get any" for the next 6 months.

Here you go just to clear things up there's no minimum speed limit for motorways so to drive at 50mph is perfectly fine.

But one is likely to be charged with careless or inconsiderate driving, if they are driving at forty miles per hour in lane two of the motorway, don't you agree?

Thats crazy, so in theory you could tootle along the motorway at 15mph if you like!

Surely if people can't drive to the speed limit (when it is safe to do so) they probably don't have much confidence on the road. I always travel at the limit when conditions are right, I can't understand why you would travel at 50mph on the motorway for no reason?

I don't suffer from road rage though, I just overtake when I can and have a chuckly to myself.

As would I, at least I would hope to each time it occurs, but the more often it happens, the risks of an ordinary person getting to the end of their tether and letting it go.

If you got out of your car acting the big man, I'd laugh in your face. Trust me.

I once hit a guy from behind by accident at a set of traffic lights, just a small bump, there was more damage to my bumper than his car. The guy pulls up his hand brake and throws open his door, gets out foaming at the mouth with anger because I'd tapped him by accident. So, as you do after having an accident, I got out of my car, as soon as he saw the size of me he went quiet. I could physically see him shrink. He was a decent guy once he'd calmed down.

So yeah, I'd laugh at anyone, and keep laughing at them, even if they did want to be billy big !!!!!!!!.
