I had a dude once tailgate me and honk at me for going 25 in a 35. I had just pulled out of a parking lot and was getting my bearings. It was a two-lane road. I was in the right lane. He finally went around me, and I gave him a dorky wave.
30 seconds later, he was in front of me at the next red light, so to be a dick, I honked at him.
Dude spent the next 10 minutes in front of me going like 10 miles per hour. I wasn't in a hurry, so I thought I'd just let that play out. Later, when I switched lanes to avoid a turn-only, he switched immediately after. I realized that he intended to stay in front of me driving slowly presumably until I got home.
So I eventually faked him out and lost him.
Dude wasted 10 minutes of his life proving some kind of insane point. He had a young daughter in the back seat. I feel bad for her.
When I see or meet anyone on the road that does anything stupid .... I avoid them like the plague.
I'm not sticking around to see if the other guy/gal is going to lose it and do something stupid that will either cause a minor accident ... or kill someone.
This is the smart move. Don't antagonize them, no matter how much they deserve it. It's not worth the risk.
Tell me you’re from USA without telling me you’re from USA.
I kid, people have died from road rage in every country, just their car is dangerous enough.
Given that the US is extremely car-centric compared to other countries, it makes sense we'd have more road rage incidents!
Want to go so fast they'll go slow for it.
That's they get for driving on his road!
