Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, in a word tailgating.
My response ( and I dont recommned this to anyone but myself ) is to just gradually take my foot of the throttle little by little and slow down ever so gradually.
I had a driver tailgate me so closely some time ago that I had to come to a complete stop in the centre lane of a 3 lane road for him to get the message.
I enjoyed taking the control away from this driver and aggravating him into the bargain.
I know its not the right thing but..................
In other situations where drivers will spew forth abuse for apparently no reason, my reply is to laugh at them
