Sure, you can hide and worry about protecting yourself in an ever more dangerous world, or join people like him and me and take a stand against bad behavior. If enough people do it, it will make a difference.

This is a childish mindset. It would be worth taking a defensive driving course if you haven't done so, it may be helpful.

Ironically, impeding faster traffic by camping the passing lane is also illegal in several states (yes, even if you're going the speed limit).

No it won't. You're not "taking a stand". This isn't a bar fight. You're mistaking responsible defensiveness for cowardice, and passive-aggressiveness for civil courage.

There is zero chance they'll recognise your dominance, let alone moral superiority, and walk away changed from a teaching moment. They're not even seeing you as a person. They only see your car as one more obstacle among so many other "idiots", and it's quite probable you're provoking only more reckless behaviour.
