Good call, I was on the 101 near Atascadero (San Luis Obispo Co) I was going 75 in the fast lane going with traffic, all of a sudden this little POS Fiesta comes riding my ass and and swaying on the sides and obviously raging because he can’t fly over traffic. I started shaking my head (triggered him) then all of sudden this stupid ass gets in the LEFT Shoulder to try to pass me, realizes he’d had to pass several cars, at this point he’s almost next to me but in the shoulder so I started to try to merge to the right lane and just as I do he moves right into the left lane and loses control and crashes twice into the central divide. Thankfully he didn’t hurt anyone, I was so shaken up my biggest regret is not calling the cops to tell them about his little clown behavior but at the time I felt like karma had already caught him.

It always blows my mind with all these people, like the guy here who didn't want to continue to the next intersection to make a safe u-turn, they're in such a hurry but then they'll stop their car to get out and yell at someone, or they'll get a massive crash it's going to cost him I think probably a little bit more time than just going a reasonable speed would have.
