I don't see how physical size affects the issue, unless you're seriously advocating turning something this petty into violence?
But at the end of the day, you were asking what we thought

Each to their own. Another of my mottos. Pointless to YOU - not to everyone, especially me.
No, it's that THEY might react adversely. And I was talking in general terms to explain ALL of the factors I would take into account when deciding on a face to face confrontation. Size wouldn't be a primary consideration in this scenario as it happens. Pure size=difficult (and the opposite) is itself a potentially dangerous assumption though.
I was.

The red mist would have come down, the instant I had to take evasive action, the finger would have sealed it.I personally would have followed for a bit, you know just to put the wind up him, whilst continually expressing my severe displeasure with his road craft, until I got bored and the effect of the adrenaline rush wore of and I wasn't feeling so cock sure any more
Life too short, don't become consumed by childlike pranks, be the better man and forget it.

I'd go for a note on the windscreen:
<<You cut me up.
Now I know where you live.>>
And that's it. People living in constant fear have a far more torrid time than someone given a quick pasting. The very fact (if you leave the note a few days after the incident) that you have bothered to track them down will scare the hell out of them.
If I was feeling really nasty, leave it 6 months until they've just about forgotten about it and leave another note:
<<You cut me up 6 months ago.
I have not forgotten.
Soon. Not today.>>
And Bob's your uncle - constant anxiety.

TBH Gad, you seem little different to the aonymous car keyer/tyre slasher who is annoyed that someone has more money than him, in this case.
Face to face at the time, or not at all.

So you can probably see mine when I observe that your post is about as intelligent and simplistic as I would expect from a stereotypically dense rugby league player.
2. Didn't you read my earlier posts? Tim D made a similar point.
It isn't always sensible or possible.

1. Don't stereotype, and remember that simple doesn't mean wrong. I presume the intelligence point referred to my typo in "anonymous"
2. I read your earlier posts, so the answer of what you should do seems obvious.

Oh OK, so you take an 'equalizer'. That just raises the stakes to a ridiculous level.
