The Road Rage Thread

[PlasticPorter]

Yesterday on my way to classes i accidently cut some guy off, shortly thereafter I noticed he was tail gating me seeing this I increased in speed as to not get rear-ended he then accelerated and pulled up alongside me and started screaming that I was a dead man or something like that. At the next stop sign there were people in front of me and I was forced to stop he jumped out of his car and started punching and kicking my driverside door threatening me with bodily harm and very ironically saying he was gonna call the cops.

What this boils down to Is what are your experiences with roadrage?

That, from the legal point of view, is called "assault". Sue the fuck out of that guy.

I play bummper tag with people, they don't like it but I love to do it!!!!!
Only problem is you can't stop when there angery at you like that.

 

[PlasticPorter]

I would but I was in shock and just drove the fuck off when my way was clear

When he was saying he was going to call the cops you should have just calmly got on your cell phone and called the cops while staring right at him.

And things like that are why I want to carry a gun. Just so in situations like that I can step out of the car, pull out a gun, and scare the shit out of the bastard.

As fun as it may sound, that is also illegal.
Unless you pull out a conveniently modified toy gun.

But I don't want to be an asshole derailing the thread. I have been victim of road rage more times than I can count, and have been sued a couple times for the damages as well.
But I got out of those with nothing, unlike the other guy, who lost a teeth.

Yeah, a toy gun works too. But I think I could get away with it. I mean, he was physically assaulting my property and physically threatening me; I do have a gun after all, I felt the need to defend myself. Now, shooting him would definetly be illegal. And that would be the only thing stopping me from doing just that.

But then again, I'll admit I would be somewhat scared to pull a gun on him since people as crazy as that are violent and unpredictable. I pull out a gun and he might pull out one of his own, or just attack me and beat the shit out of me. I would probably just drive away if I was in that situation, that's the safest bet.

yeah i mean the guy who attacked me was a scrawny lil *****, I mean im not that big of a guy but what if I was like Ving Rames or some shit, why are people so mad that they are willing to risk getting their shit wrecked over a lil roadrage?
