a-hole was riding mine as I passed a few cars. I was in the left lane for all of maybe 30 seconds, and this was downtown, not on a highway. Anyway, as soon as I get over he whips by, cuts me off and slams his brakes. Had I not been expecting it coming I sure as shite would've rear ended.

My takeaway is that I'm immediately ordering a dash cam for shite like this in the future. What could i have done at the time to have established dominance?

Punch it.

Edit: Dash cam saved a co-worker in a very similar situation from being at fault.

Had I had a dash cam I would have seriously considered not braking, but without it, I don't see how I'm not culpable there, even if the other guy is the a-hole.

you would have still been at fault. It is always the trailer's responsibility to leave enough distance to stop if someone in front "slams his brakes".
