Do other cars taunt you while you are driving in public?

While there isn't specific evidence that other cars frequently taunt drivers in public, there are instances of aggressive driving behaviors that might be perceived as taunting or intimidating. These behaviors include tailgating, speeding, cutting off other drivers, and using horns excessively24. However, these actions are generally considered aggressive driving rather than deliberate taunting.

In some cases, drivers might engage in reckless or provocative behavior, such as drifting or performing stunts, which can be seen as taunting or challenging other drivers or even law enforcement, as in the case of the BMW M3 driver in New York13. Nonetheless, such behavior is not common and is often condemned by the public and law enforcement.

To avoid confrontations with aggressive drivers, it's advisable to maintain a safe distance, ignore provocative gestures, and avoid engaging with them24. If you feel threatened, it's best to remove yourself from the situation and seek help if necessary2.
