I do this as often as necessary to ensure the safety of myself and my passengers. It's also kind of fun to watch the antics of idiots behind the wheel of their 3500 pound weapon of choice on the street they think they own.

If they take up all the space between them and my bumper, I take away the speed to match the distance between us so that it becomes safe again. Sometimes they figure it out, sometimes they don't.

What's really hilarious is when they figure out I'm one of their neighbors on their very own street too late and end up backing off my bumper about the same time I'm turning onto "our" street!
