96. If I was the guy in the SUV, I would have thought they were setting me up for a car-jacking.

Deliberately trying to slow me down and surround me?

I would have crushed that first dude like a bug and not felt the least bit bad about it.

That's a terrifying thing to do to someone, even if it's just to "make room for your buddies."

How is someone supposed to know that their intent is just dickishness and not outright assault?

Anyone who thinks this is okay should have a "Share the Road" or "Check Twice" bumper sticker shoved up their ass and out their mouth.
