I had a few cases of angry drivers after a fault from them, but only once one stopped to yell: at a roundabout he didn't have priority, I nearly hit him as he cut me, so I used the horn when braking. A little further he stopped on the side and when I passed he yelled at me; I replied he didn't had the priority there, and then I continued on my way.
Twice I had BMWs that, after a "dispute", tried to cut in front of my and brake suddenly:
- one because I was doing 70km/h on the left lane of a 70km/h way (the cars on the right were driving slower, despite his use of full beam I didn't want to go back to that lane just to let him pass. When I finally could go to the right lane without having fit between two slower cars, while passing me he made signs like "are you crazy?" (yeh, I was obeying speed limit in a city), I gave him the finger, he didn't like that
- one because two lanes merged in one, he didn't like that I passed in front of him (I started quicker at the green light with my little Peugeot) ; I guess he thought I was cutting the line, but it is not my fault if the left lane where I went was empty, despite both left & right lines had arrows indicating they could be used for continuing straight ahead.
One time it was the opposite: I accidentally cut the way of another car in a roundabout (I was distracted), I stopped at the exit of the roundabout, the woman driving the other car started to yell saying I was wrong and shouldn't say anything, then I said that I stopped just to apologize because indeed it was my fault... that directly calmed her, she didn't know what to say
