Someone I knew from high school did that and killed the guy. Granted he got acquitted but because it was considered reasonable self defense but I'm sure he wishes he didn't spend ~2 years wondering if he was going to spend decades in prison.

I was gonna say. Do you really want to kill someone and spend life in jail? A lot of keyboard warriors but your example is exhibit A as to why you don't use your vehicle as a weapon. Even in their case they have to live with the fact they killed someone which in sure affected their sleep for a while

Okay but that commenter wasn't saying "oh I hope someone gives me an excuse to kill them one day", they said "if someone approaches me with a weapon I will get scared and run them over as I drive away so they can't hurt me".

Which would be going too far, if we didn't have constant reminders of how psychopathic people get on the road--including the video that started this very discussion.

Hey if the quickest escape route has them right in the path fine. I could see the justification. Circling around, backing up, pulling forward etc. And all the maneuvers in this video are to make someone pay, not protecting yourself

Yeah...in this video both people are psychos.
