us bus drivers face the same thing almost on a daily basis, normal remedy for me is ,hand brake on, engine off, feet on dash, newspaper out and sit back ( we're not allowed to leave the bus), same effect as you though Tentz, they all back up eventually
although i do try to avoid getting into those situation's to begin with, i get paid the same whether i'm running on time or whether i'm late and life really is too short for such un-necssary confrontations
I too been an ex bus driver have many a time been sat reading the newspaper cos some inconsiderate driver has decided they would try make me reverse my bus with passengers on huh dont think so lol even had a stand off with the old mr pc plod at one point he even came upto the bus and started shouting and waving his arms about untill i kindly reminded him he was in the wrong driving the wrong way down an one way street without his blue lights on AND the bus was fitted with recording cctv he soon got back into his car turned around and sped up the street to get flashed by an speed camera :) ooops think he may o been slightly unimpressed that he had been recorded breaking the law and i wernt goin to move(because he had blocked the road) and let him passed :) must admit though some people just see the car and think right im pulling out now then suddenly see your trailer tent behind and jam the brakes on as if its your fault your towint a trailer and they arnt looking at the road ahead :/
------------- it was broke before i touched it........... honest :)
