*HEISENBERG* (OP) User ID: 30143760 United States 12/20/2012 06:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just ride around with a box of roofing nails and toss them out the window all over the road when some idiot is riding your ass.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30414837 That's dumb. So what about other drivers who run over those nails who have done you no wrong? I think that poster was being sarcastic. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30414837 That's dumb. So what about other drivers who run over those nails who have done you no wrong? yup brake light shut off switch and some curvy roads people usually count on cars ahead on when too use the brakes on curves as they drone and zone along behind the wheel. funny as fuck too think of them sliggering off the road into the trees at 50 mph on a 30 mph curve, i say think cause of course if you see the crash you should stop |
Do you see what I see User ID: 29705532 United States 12/20/2012 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is my absolute worst road rage story. I was driving home from work, and it was dark and it was raining. I admit i'm a bit night blind, especially when it's wet but I was going the speed limit. This guy in a mustang sped up right on my ass flashing it's lights and sped around me and tried to cut me off, when he did he must have turned to hard and he crashed into the wall directly in front of me. I swerved without looking to avoid hitting him and thankfully no one was in the lane next to me. "Things do not happen. Things are made to happen." John F.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30464505 United States 12/20/2012 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was an accident in front of us on interstate 70, all lanes were blocked , the police were letting only a few cars through at a time on the left shoulder I was driving a large van I needed to get over to the right lane to take the exit. The guy beside me decided that he wasn't going to let me change lanes, deliberately pacing me for about 1/4 of a mile which took about 45 minutes He started talking on the phone and didnt notice the car in front of him creep forward 15 feet....so i pulled into the hole He then pulls up onto the shoulder and forces me back into the middle lane honking his horn Next time we stopped ...I got out of my van , grabbed a 4x4 post out of the back and stood in front of his car with the post resting on my shoulder He rolled up his window I then used the 4x4 post to chock his front tire so he couldn't move forward, the car behind him was right on his bumper so he couldnt back up traffic moved forward , I got in my van and took the exit,and just left him that way with a shocked look on his face. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1190661 Australia 12/20/2012 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My worst experience of road rage was actually caused by me 100%. I had gotten into the wrong lane at a set of lights and their was a huge truck in the lane next to me. So when the lights changed I sped forward, indicated and moved in front of the truck. Whilst it didn't cause him to break sharply or swerve to miss me at all as he was slow to take off... he really got upset. For the next 5 kilometres up the highway he tail gated me honking his horn and shouting abuse. I just remained calm and drove at the speed limit. Eventually he calmed down and backed off. Perhaps the trucky realised that if a cop saw him doing that he would get the fine. Truckies have people like me do that to them every day and so I understand his frustration. Here's a recent article about a road rager that happened a couple of days ago. [link to video.heraldsun.com.au] |

*HEISENBERG* (OP) User ID: 30143760 United States 12/20/2012 07:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why do people get upset if someone cuts you off? Just let them go, who cares. No need to flip them off or honk the horn or get upset. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30212215 There are idiots who drive recklessly just so they can come to a stop at a red light just ahead. Why get upset over stupid people. Because driving is no joke, people can be killed by moron reckless drivers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30419342 Ireland 12/20/2012 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was making my way to work on a saturday morning - on a dual carrigeway...70mph speed limit. I came upto a BMW and calmly went into the overtaking lane to overtake...which i did...pulling back in after over-taking. Next thing i know this Beema has sped up to my ass...and over-takes me and swings back into my lane cutting me up! I noticed the driver was a middle-aged Sikh male...i considered that culturally he really didn't seem to like a lady driver over-take him. Little did he know i housed a juicy V-6 under my bonnet, despite the crappy badge on MY car! So being much younger and being used to male ego's on the building sites i worked...i pulled out and hit the floor and turbo and flew past him. He of course started to accelerate and catch me...which he didn't. Until we hit a roundabout. I couldn't go through this roundabout at 120mph so i had to slow down, which is where he caught up to me. He parked right infront of me to stop me from going on...i emergency braked and everything in my car flew about....he got out of his car - storming his way up to me, with evil angry eyes and reaching into his jacket pulling out a machete (they love to carry machete's in the UK).. I slammed into reverse (thankfully no-one was behind me!) and reversed up the road until i hit a slip-road entrance which i took...i can see he has got into his car and reversing too to catch up with me. Luckily having worked in the area i knew the side routes through the industrial areas and driving like a maniac managed to get away from him. Got to the work site and told the guys if they see a sikh in a BMW to call the police! This guy was not going to leave it - he was going to chop me up and shove me in the boot of his car...i've never seen such evil in anyone's eyes ever before or since. There are some real psycho's on the road - especially men with ego's. In some ways i'm glad there are no guns allowed in the UK - this nutter would have just shot me if he could! |
