Just lets them know more so that I am trying to get past.
No shoulder in Japan. So can't even try that.
Yeah, when I finnally got past I did nothing, but the fact that the driver was doing this on purpose really gets under my skin. If they had kept going the same speed I would just put it down to them as a slow driver.
Very true.
LOL, those guys are idiots at the best of times.
True. I ended up doing nothing except being pissed off to make a thread when I got home.
The car sits too low and the car in front was a van. But, I feel your pain.
Iwill hav to practice more yoga!!!!
LOL.
Slow driver maybe?
Ironically this just happened to me. A Ford F350(?)truck towing a rather large boat was going down a one lane road at 50 mph. Speed limit is 65. A double land opens up and I'm waiting for this guy to politely pull over to the slower lane. Not happening. So I gun the acclerator to pass on the right and he decides to be "road cop enforcer" and purposely swerve into the right lane. Now remember he's towing a boat. I am now on the riveted shoulder hugging the dirt shoulder. Ahole. Didn't care if I had family in there or anything. I barely make it by him. Two thoughts come to mind. Slam on my brakes coming to a full stop and let physics figure out what to do with him & his boat or keep going. See, I saw that he had a family with him as I passed. Makes you wonder about some people.
Answer to your question. Do nothing and keep going. Count to 50 and chill. You & I "probably" have a lot more to lose than that guy wearing the *** hat.

Probably nothing you can do. I am road rage too and hate inconsiderate drivers (read: slow drivers ) People always tell me that I have much more to lose with my cars than they do, and you especially if you were driving your S classes.
You can't even cut in front and hold your windshield spray to annoying them since you have magic vision control!

My advice is to forget forget about it. Life's too short...and things sometimes happen that are beyond our control. Your health and blood pressure are too important to let stuff like this get to it.
If I let everything I put up with get to me like that (even with some people on this forum LOL), I would have been dead long ago.

Got to do everything you can to let it go. As mmarshall and others have said, it is not worth the stress and drama. Figure there will be about 3,832 more times you will encounter a bad driver in your years to come. Are you going to get stressed out 3,832 more times or find some way to brush it off and live unscathed? Hard to do, and we all struggle with it, but it gets easier with practice.

They are looking for you to engage. Humans are social animals. you can either engage violently or charmingly. Your call.
I think he engages all too much, egging each other on. I, on the other hand refuse to even participate, and they know better than to waste their time.

The mistake most people make is thinking they can teach a lesson to the bad driver. ***It does not work that way in real life.*** Bad drivers are rude, inconsiderate, and spaced out people who have it deep-set in their personality to always be that way. They MAY learn a lesson after crashing, getting a ticket, going to jail, or killing someone else. Beyond those things, it's a fantasy that anyone can teach another driver a lesson while on the road, as it unfolds. For further verification, consult your local high patrol or police department.

I think it's the way you try to overtake that triggers the front car driver to behave like that.
If he sees someone coming up behind, swerving in and out, he goes into "teach em a lesson" mode by blocking the road.
Sometimes flashing your high beams causes the front car to want to drive even slower.
