Current Events > Ok, I think I had my road rage scare

(+) Yeah! (+)

Some of you may remember I made a topic a while back about getting pissed at people who cut me off.

Yesterday, a guy in a florist van was in the left lane when a car in front of him started to slow to turn. He never slowed and, without any warning, started to drive into my lane when I was already somewhat alongside him, not signaling until he started merging. I blew the horn and stomped on the brakes, allowing him to squeeze in. I flipped him off as I passed him just down the road. He then proceeded to match my speed, roll down his window, and flip me off while screaming. We wound up next to each other at the next red light and he opened his door and got out of the car, scanning my door and interior with his eyes while screaming at me. I don't know what stopped him, but he got back in the car and continued on when the light went green.

My heart was pounding out of my chest. I think I'm gonna practice more defensive driving from now on.

Should have shown him your weiner to assert your dominance

heres My advice: whip out your phone. Act like youre recording them and say youre uploading it. People like to talk a lot of shit but when they think it is being recorded my guess is they shut the fuck up.

if you dont like that idea, get some mace and carry it in your car.

You have to be careful because some idiot will think its a gun and call the police on you, or if you live in a red state where people are looking for any reason to use their guns, will shoot you.

I can't even comprehend what goes through someone's mind when they obviously make a mistake then turn around and start yelling at you. I'd be wishing I was invisible if I cut someone off like that.

Don't flip people off

Try to anticipate when a crazy is gonna cut you off and give him space to do so then slow down to get away from him

This.

Yeah, you've gotta be careful out there. Lot of unhinged people. I've seen too many stories lately where someone starts shooting because of road rage.
