something not cool - another driver tried to run me off the road
i was coming home from the track and i was on the last stretch which is a two lane road.
i cant remember exactly what kind of car it was but i know it was either a minivan or suv. anyway he flashes me trying to tell me to turn high beams off. so i turn off my headlights to show him that i dont have highbeams on.
he keeps flashing and as soon as i get within a car lentgh he swerves right into my lane! i was like WTF! and swerved up on the curb and hit the brakes. i was doing like 30 mph. i dont know how fast he was going. it all happened so quickly. i turned around and looked to see who the hell it was but other cars was behind both of us.
i think this is why its not a good idea to carry a gun in my car. if my son was in the car with me and he caused me to wreck there is no doubt in my mind i would be spending a few nights in jail.

nooooooooo! Are you and the max okay? I really hate the way people drive. I mean, if someone's in my way, I don't endanger their lives. If anything, I'll endager my own instead by passing illegally lol. I'll flip 'em off, but I won't hurt them or my car...that's just wrong. I hope everything is okay.

I've been in Germany for 4 months now and no road rage incidents. I've been flashed for an improperly aimed foglight, but no one tried to kill me. G'lord, what is the deal?
I don't get all the anger that Americans have when they are behind the wheel.
I love being an American, but living in the U.S. blows. Give me some Cable TV & I'm retiring here.

I wish I was confident that something will happen to correct this, but I fear it will only get worse.

I once had someone ride my *** for about 5 miles on a wide open 6 lane freeway. It was immature but I slammed on my brakes and the *** almost rear ended me. Then he gets in the lane next to me, matches speeds, and starts coming over to the right to force me off the shoulder. I couldn't shake this guy. If I went faster so did he; slower was the same. So it ended up I was driving about 60 in the shoulder and took the closest exit before I ended up in the ditch. Here's where it gets f'n crazy. The bastard comes over both lanes, passes ME on the shoulder of the offramp, pulls a half u turn and stops all the way across the offramp, blocking all traffic, and he GETS OUT WITH A BASEBALL BAT. I was like "HOLY ****, is this really happening?!" I managed to pull within about 2 inches of his front passenger quarter panel, and belive me I left a good few feet of my tires getting the hell away. Looking behind me, I saw them drive the WRONG WAY back up the offramp and get back on the freeway. I got their plate #s and called the cops but they didn't do anything of course. Of course, this car was like a black accord with about 5 punkass high school kids....and furthermore, if I EVER see that car again, they had better have comprehensive insurance to cover the mysterious vandalism to soon occur....

I was going to post this but I thought it was not worth a new thread.
Last sunday night I was dirving home. I was behind a early 90's BMW grey 4 door. I guess he thought I was riding his ***. I Honestly did not mean to if I was. I was only behind him for like 30 sec. at the most.
Anyway, at the next light we ended up next to each other. We were both the first cars at the light. I hear him yelling something so I roll my window down, and he's saying something about me riding is ***. He reaches under his seat and pulls out a gun!!!!. I am like Whoooooo, dude calm down. I could not go any where because there was traffic crossing in front of me and cars behind me. He kept telling me "I going to shoot you in the F***ing head". He looked pretty doped up or at least drunk.
When the light turned green he took off. I followed him, wrote down his plate # and then made a U turn to get the hell out of there. He saw me write his # down, so he turned around and followed me waving the gun out the window.
Luckly he could not hang with my I30 5-speed. I lost him easlily.
There are some crazy wacked out people dirving around. You never know when some coke head will go on superman trip and lose it.
BE SAFE OUT THERE GUYS

Thats crazy. I live in a moderate size metro area, not big like detroit or chicago, but probably half a million people. I have yet to experience a case of "real" road rage like this. I hope I never do, knock on wood. Glad you are ok.

Shoulda just busted a cap in his a$$. J/K Well maybe if the light was right you could of had gotten his licence plate number and call the DMV safe driver number and report him. Good way to get back at people. At traffic school they told me that if someone turns you in you get your licence restricted and and they make you take the test over written and driving, then they watch you for 3 to 4 months.

i think people take driving way too serious sometimes. road rage is sickness. i get on the road and i understand that there idiots out there that make dumb moves on the road. long as they dont harm me or my family life goes on.
