Ok, Lets say that dont matter to you in the least, lets take a different look at the situation.

Lets say a accident happend in which you were at fault and you totalled his car.

The base price of his car could easily be around $70,000 and with options the price could approach $80000.

If your insurance covered up to $60,000 dollars worth of damage to another persons vehicle you could easily be left with having to pay $20,000 out of pocket to replace his car. This is not to mention any further cost you might accrue if anyone saw your aggresive driving and the driver wished to sue for personal injury.

This can be a terribly costly mistake on your part all due to the fact he wasnt driving 5mph faster than you felt he should have.

I dont like people in front of me distracted on the road by talking on the phone any more than the next guy, but I take for granted there not the safest drivers and give them a wide margin for safety in case something stupid should happen.

um dude look at your user name????
