You are driving on the road, and a pickup truck pulls up behind you. You can see its a white dude with a goatee, wearing a cap and shades. Reaction?

I'm a child, so I slow down until they go around me. Sometimes I'll give it a boot full while they floor it past me and put a couple bus lengths on them. This makes them incredibly angy. :^)
 
That description matches everyone where I live. Including me.

The highway in and out of town is 100 km/h and is two-lane undivided so there are diminishing returns in getting from 105-110 km/h to slightly faster than that, especially with the price of gas these days.

However, there's is one old dude in a pickup truck who revels in alternating between 60 km/h, backing up traffic for kilometers, then blasting up to 120 when anyone tries to pass him. He's a bit of legend in these parts. Fortunately I haven't encountered him yet but even then I think I'd just laugh at the absurdity.
 
Same thing I do every day on my way home. Slow down and make his ass wait. I have a strict no-tailgate policy. If I'm already going 10 miles over the speed limit, and you're gonna tailgate me, you get to smell my ass, bitch!

And being white, male and/or having a shitty beard makes no difference.
 
Thread OP this morning:

As long as he isn't balls deep behind me I'm sound. At least he's not driving a qashqai or land rover.
 
Was that you I followed on my way to work this morning, OP? Sorry I scared you with my super aggressive truck/goatee combo.

Nothing? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do? Let him past because he's rocking a goatee?
 
…you just described me, except I have a full beard. I mean you no harm good sir.
 
That description matches the dude from the one time I've experienced real road rage and had to call the police.

I doubt I would think twice about it now though unless something else happened to draw my concern.
 
Well if I'm a minority I immediately think if he's gonna run me off the road and try to shoot me with impunity...

Edit: in my mind's eye he automatically had a confed flag across his grill, to be clear it needs that

I stop my car, get the mayonnaise out of the glove box, and ask him to take a swig to prove he is actually white.

Once it's proven, we'll partake in the secret handshake and continue on our way.
 
just move over

with all the stories we all hear about people losing their marbles for no reason (the recent killing over snow dispute comes to mind?) I'm surprised to see how many people are willing to antagonize perfect strangers over nothing

Most likely absoluley nothing and continue driving as normal. As far as I know he's just a dude out driving...like me.
