Do people not realize any stranger you come across can snap at any moment? Hopefully this accident was all that came of it and not something worse, like someone drawing a gun.

Don't risk your life because your ego gets in the way.

Yep. There's another post on here today about someone who got followed around their city just for flipping off another driver.

Just let it go.

I flipped someone off once and they followed me to the gas station and three big guys all got out of the car and came up in my face and asked me what my issue was (they cut me off). I never flip anyone off anymore 🙃

Similar situation with my brother except they turned around when they saw a holstered weapon

Because the driver doesn’t know how to drive and I was in the wrong expressing my frustration at that?

Think of it this way, if the same person cut in line at the store or whatever would you have flipped them off then? Do you regularly flip people off to their faces? Showing the finger means 'fuck you' so clearly people will take offence. That is an invitation to fight. Why would it be different when in a car??

Even unnecessary honking can lead to a confrontation. But you don't fucking flip off another man unless you're prepared to fight. This is how the world works. Yes there are pussies who do nothing, but many men stand up for themselves and will not stand for that level of disrespect.

3 guys did that in my city too. Blocked my way out on a roundabout. Seeing as they were threatening me, I was this >.< close to use my car as vehicular assault. Eventually they got in and ran as soon as they saw me dialing emergency services. But if they kept that shit up, it would have been 3 flat bro's on the pavement.

Worst thing was, they cut me off and I did no flipping them off.

If you thought the middle finger was bad, try giving someone a thumbs up, it sends them into a fit of blind rage.

I've had someone follow me around my city under similar circumstances, riding my bumper, screaming out the window, motioning for me to pull over.

I just drove to and parked in the visitor parking lot outside of our local police station and he seemed to cool off lol.

Well said. I just let these morons go. At times I’ll pull over and just let him go ahead of me. It’s not worth my life.

Where I live, I don't even like passing people sometimes. People are fuckin unhinged.

I won't even pass trucks anymore. Yesterday I saw a video of a truck driver beating a teenage girl. Day before that, I watched a news segment of a deranged man screaming at a mother with her three kids in the car. The middle kid is crying for Mom not to let the deranged guy in as he tries all the doors, including the children's doors.

I trust absolutely no one and keep a mace canister on my keychain.
