This guy gives BMW drivers a bad rep.

Still not convinced, I believe it was staged. The camera was there, his reaction to the guy in the BMW was too timid or relaxed. Not buying it.

There are a bunch of people with roll bar/in car mounted cameras driving around these days. I saw an e36 with one on the highway this week. It seems the Mazda driver's was on and rolling because he was probably going to run that road at a good clip. The video said he was going slow to allow any traffic ahead of him to clear. It really isn't all that unusual, imo. His reaction was calm, but I guess you never know what you would actually do until it happens.

You might be right, my personal motto gets me into trouble sometimes

"often wrong but never in doubt"

My gut still isn't buying it though.

Keep in mind that this is a mazda 3 guy's edited video. He has obviously edited out the parts where he was actually tailgating. I cannot believe that someone will get that pissed with so much distance. That BMW driver will not be able to drive and will keep stopping every time someone is 100-300 feet behind him.

You think it is "edited" at any point from when the BMW driver pulls out to the confrontation? If so, I am no video editing master, but that guy should be working in Hollywood. With the exception of the comments, I don't see any obvious editing.
