Back in the 70's I was following a car with a bumper sticker that said, "Honk if you love Jesus." They were very popular bumper stickers at the time, and I saw them everywhere. Thinking it was a fitting thing to do, I lightly tooted my horn with a couple of quick "Beep beep"s.

The other driver rolled down his window, flipped me off, and sped away. Seriously.

I speed up and get out of the way.

Could be a medical emergency

Could be late for work

Could be an incompetent / dangerous driver

Most likely just a jerk driving fast "winning" the only way they can I'd rather not associate with

I've posted this before but I had a pickup truck racing up an on ramp literally pushing me over a lane while "merging" when the red and blue lights came on behind him.

Get a bumper sticker that says "honk if you are a moron" and see how that gets reactions.
