Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered "road rage" in some places and can get you ticketed.
Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!
I throw them one of these looks.
You're only here for the ziplines
Bro, as a Massachusettsan born and raised if you dare touch my primary form of expression ya gonna get a hot cuppa dunkins in the face. That'd be like banning wicked sick donuts in a rotary.
I point and laugh at the ones I see here in Seattle. You can do a pretty good show of it from a bike while passing them being stuck in traffic lol
Only if you do it outside the vehicle. This actually came up years ago when I took a motorcycle course. Since you're always outside the vehicle I guess you can't flick people off.
This feels like such a thin reason to get a ticket if you ask me. A rude gesture is just a rude gesture. But... be careful out there! I feel safe enough to flip them off, but I encourage safer forms of heckling them, like pointing and laughing.
I just shake my head in shame and go the speed limit so their car slows tf down.
Also a chance you’ll catch one of those guys carrying in their cars - that’s their thing. No need to put yourself in the crosshairs for an unhinged person…
It can also get you shot, people are insane in their cars.
Orrr little light vandalism if you're going to commit
