I'm pesky, I don't go away, I'm persistently annoying, I'm not afraid of much, and I'm really REALLY good at pushing people's buttons.

Ultimately you're right, I can't actually stop a guy from speeding. He could blow me off and get right back on the highway and get right back up to 95.

But it's neither here nor there because it's never happened. I've actually said something to people about speeding two times in my life. One time it was a guy and his family going on vacation, I saw them at the table at Burger King and said hey I was behind you for a while there and you were speeding and weaving pretty dangerously. His wife immediately got all over his case, she clearly didn't appreciate his speeding, and I had to say no more, she took it from there.

Another time I saw some douche in a beamer (nothing against beamers, just douches) a few years older than me and told him hey you should chill out on the roads. He ignored me, but we got back on the road at the same time and he wasn't going fast anymore. I guess sometimes all it takes is saying something. I mean when I said "confront", that didn't mean physically threaten. It meant verbally confront.
Ok, I gotcha. The way you mentioned rest-stop confrontations earlier, coupled with the D-1 athlete I'm a big dude comments sort of painted a different picture.

But I see where you're coming from. It makes more sense the way you have laid it out here.
