Doing the illegal median thing probably wasn't a bad call either.

Thier intent was to frighten you. It's sad and pathetic that the most power filled moment of thier puny lives was using a vehicle as a weapon. I always feel bad that they probably went home and tied firecrackers to cats for fun. It's still a frightening experience! Don't let them drive you from the sport!
I've got to agree with Crash here. Keep them in front of you. Your options are infinate from that position. Yes you are FASTER than them (i.e. speed away...but they are still behind you and can catch up after you throttle down) but you are also more agile and can brake faster than them too. If you keep them in front of you where you can keep your eyes on them at all times, you take away most of the stupid things they can do to you AND you leave yourself a quick out at the next off ramp.
