Two minutes later I'm right behind him at a traffic light. Karma works.
Since the guy was a nut, he was probably thinking, 'If that jerk behind me hadn't slowed me down, I'd have made this light!'

What might have happened, if he had been a homicidal, gun toting, nut in an Audi? At the stop light, maybe he would have been thinking, 'Ah, karma.' and ...

Were I you, the questions I'd be asking myself right now: Were you attempting to coolly consider which was more dangerous - the curve ahead or the nut behind you? Or did you just give into a mood?
