A New Category of Sloth 3329N8N ----- Well, maybe... I guess. Speeding drivers are no concern for me either but I feel they're far more likely to commit the offenses you mentioned in addition to...
It is just dumb luck if you keep doing it and don't run across the eventual psychotic which will not back down.
I've done these highway duels myself. Its not something I recommend, and was in a suicidal mood the last time I did it anyway, but then again, it was satisfying. And no, I would not have backed down, and was fully prepared and expecting a horrible "accident" that would likely have gotten me and the "needle of the moment" both end. But he backed down, that was about 10 year ago, and I've never done anything like that since. But, on that day, in that situation, that particular needle would have had to die for his trouble if he wanted to f*** with me any further.
I only did something like that once before that, when some buttholes thought they were going to 'scare' me by coming left of center and threatening a head-on collision. I was so incensed that I sped up and scared them, and again, was completely commited and expecting a horrible crash that would likely have gotten me and them all dead. But... again... I'll only put up with so much. If they hadn't gotten back into their lane, we'd all have died that day, because I wasn't going to give in no matter what. That was about 35 years ago.
But do realize that people that won't back down are out there and each time you engage in a highway duel, you may be taking more risk than you realize.
