Road Rage Formula

The First Law of Road Rage:

The reaction of the driver 
at whom you just honked 
will be a violent outburst
that will increase exponentially 
according to the degree of wrong-doing 
secretly acknowledged 
by the aforementioned driver.

For example:

Guy attempts to pull out in front of me.  
I honk while at the same time the man is realizing his error.  
He stops & waves me by.

Or,

Guy stops dead in swiftly moving traffic blocking one lane, causing me to swerve around him. Then he changes his mind & tries to pull back into traffic, causing me to have to swerve further over.  
I honk firmly in annoyance. 
He shakes his fist out the window, hollering like I just insulted his mother. Then he pulls up beside me at the light, still screaming.  He then makes a gun gesture with one hand while banging against the side of his car with the other hand, trying to incite me to race against him.

Both times I am right.  But in the second example not only am I right, but I am greatly exalted & honored by the excessive attention accorded to me in PROOF of my rightness!
