A favorite trick is to drive up on your left and whip a sudden right turn. Motorists have done this to me several times, but I have a bad temper when somebody tries to kill me, so they drive away with a dent or a scratch from my air pump. One guy was stupid enough to stop, get out of his car, and fight with me. He found out it's not a good idea to threaten somebody's life, then pick a fight with that person. It's called adrenaline.
