Seems like a bad idea - you know someone is going to figure out how to take advantage of that.

  • Scofflaw - ai has no pride or ego so I can cut them off at will and they will always back down

I'm sorry, but I can't actually imagine that happening where I live.
Do people who cut others off care who's driving?

I'm sure some people take age, gender, and/or race into consideration when deciding who they can cut off

You might be giving them too much credit for thinking about what they’re doing.
