You are required to have a certain amount of attention for what is in front of you and a smaller percentage of what is going on in your mirrors (what is going on around you). When a person gets up on the rear of another vehicle, the person in front is now paying more attention to what is going on behind them then in front. This is call intimidation or aggression which ever you want to call it. The road users that do it know that they do it and IMO do not deserve a right to drive for putting peoples lives at risk.

Just a further note on the video, before I even approached the light, and even he was stopped, you could see his aggressive behavior with the red car in front of him.

I see this sort of thing all of the time. Paranoid? With good reason. Did I take matters into my own hands? Perhaps, but if you look closely you do not see any jerkiness in my suspension when I slowed (NOT brake check, was never applied), you do however see his. And finally, The camera can be deceiving, he darted over right as the rear of my car passed the rear of the red car next to me. Things tend not to look as close as they really are, ask anyone who has used a dashcam or GoPro.
I ride motorcycles so I'm used to being aware of what's going on 360 degrees of the vehicle at all times. I'm always positioning the car to avoid possible trouble. The times I am in a sketchy situation it's business as usual because I know I have cameras rolling. In that situation I would've continued the speed I was going and let him do his little rev or fly by. I wouldn't slow down and keep him behind me. He might've done something wreckless to get around the other car and clip that car or mine. People trying to police traffic do more harm than good. LOL Aggressive driving in Maine looks pretty pleasant to me. Please don't come to Houston because you won't like what you see down here.
