    SOME TRICKS:

    1. The Stop & Squat - They pull ahead of you and stop suddenly (squatting in front of you) so you have to mash brakes (often too late) so you hit them
    2. The Pit Touch - They will do a "Pit maneuver" like the cops do, but not as violently - which may cause you to have to pull over so you don't lose control
    3. Bumper Cars - They will ride your bumper and tap it to make you stop and get out of your vehicle
    4. The Three Finger Salute/Faux Road Rage Bait - They (totally unprovoked) will pick a fight, cuss you out, give you the three finger salute and use the angst as a way to distract you from paying attention to the road, and also an excuse to swerve close to your vehicle and potentially cause a traffic incident
    5. Impersonating a Traffic / Law enforcement Officer - May not happen often, but it has happened and mostly the perpetrator (from a State in the USA used this tactic to prey on women)
