so this morning on my way to work

i speed up to pass the two cars in the left lane (im in the right lane), to get ahead of them and get on the highway. Probably hit about 120-130km/hr and then just let it decel.

Shortly after i see the guy in my rear view speeding up, switches lanes, drives beside me looking at me while im lookin at me. Then goes infront of me and smashes his brakes!!!! WTF! I didn't expect this, so i started braking and then hopped over to right, went beside him and looking at him like hes a f0234009 moron as he's swearing and pointing fingers at me... ?? Then as i slowed down some more (we're probably doing about 40km/hr at this point) to get behind him and swich over to the left side (highway is splitting) he smashes his brakes again! So i stopped completely on the shoulder looking at him again and hes stopped in a lane!! He' continues swearing some more and we take off..

Now what do i do next time i see him?
a) smash his face
b) kick his door in
c) **** him off and record him hitting my car and call the cops
d) have fun w/ him trying to catch me

I was raging and kept thinking about what happend half the day... man some people are completely *#$$)@#($ outta their mind.

thought i'd share

the same thing happened to me when I was driving home from work, I was drinking some water and I guess I was going a little below the speed limit of 65 mph when all of a sudden this huge white van flys past me, cuts right infront of me and slams the brakes, nobody else is around on the highway. I almost hit him. I drive up next to him on the highway, we're both going like 65mph now, and look at him like WTF, and hes got his window down, and is screaming at the top of his lungs saying, "****ing pull over!!! right now!!" of course I didn't, but then i slowly accelerated to 130 mph and he is trying to keep up with me. Now I'm getting a little worried because he is aggressivly weaving through traffic to keep up with me in a van. Eventually I was able to cut across traffic and get off the highway at a moment that made it hard for him to get over since he had cars around him so he couldn't get off the highway in time. some people are out of their minds

I would def just mess with these lunatics as much as possible while keeping yourself safe.

I have had a similar experience on the west coast. There are nuts everywhere, you really got to watch out for those that are packing heat.

^^^^^^ Actually was a pretty good story. Try to use those sparingly.

If this happens to me in the USA, I'll just avoid him. In my home country, I'll shoot him.

hehe, makes sense... i'll prob avoid him, but if i see him again i'll just record his stupidity with my iphone... i'll get one of two things from recording

1) a funny video for everyone to watch of some random scrub swearing
2) proof of him either cutting me off, slamming on his brakes infront of me, or walking up to my car and doing any damage - which will result in yet another video and a lawsuit lol

Don't sweat it. Had something similar happened. Idiot followed me almost all the way to the police station before figuring it out and left. Be thankful no one got hurt and nothing was thrown at your car.

Recently in California, a road rage incident hit the news, when some idiot pointed a gun at another motorist, who happened to be an off-duty deputy and shot the idiot.

I live in a CC state. No idea who is carrying and who is not. Also I am a small guy.

What do I do in instances like this? I leave the scene ASAP in as safe a manner as possible.


Call me a coward or what ever I have a son and wife that I like to be without being hurt. I drive a car that can out run most of the idiots like that.

First off you ain't gonna do squat if/when you see him again because if you were going to do anything you would have done it right then and there.

Second, more than likely the guy was pissed cause you passed on the right.

sounds like he took it a little too far, maybe he has mental issues, but if you're wondering WHY the dude filpped like he did I would guess passing on the right is the reason.

i would of done it right there and then? we're on the highway... im not just gonna step out of my car, and if he'd do any damage to my car, i'd wreck his face, but obviously that isn't the smartest thing to do.

the reason he got mad probably was due to the fact that i passed him on the right, but it was a lane i was in. I didn't cut any corners, use the shoulders or cut him off. I was going faster then he was obviously, but in no way was i in his way or made him nervous in anyway.

He's probably a mental case thats mad at life, driving some pos dodge. His life sucks so he takes it out on others.

Last thing you want is bodily harm/ or in your FREEDOM

Never get out your car on any road or highway. On-lookers might cause an accident. ONLY Let him pass if he uses his indicator.
