Road rage, has it ever happened on you?

Wow, thats all I can say. I had someone dish me a fresh
plate of it today.

I was on my way to go to the beach and do some surfing. So I
pack up and get on the road and see this ass go 60 mph in my
residential street. So I slow down my P.O.S (piece of shit)
car and yell out to him to slow down. He then speeds up,
does a u'y and pulls behind me in my car. Now from the start
I new it was just a kid probubly 16 or so. But get this, he
has the oddasity to get out of his car, and start playing
the role of the though guy. Being about a foot taller then
the boy I casually walk up to him and ask him why he was
going 60 mph aronud the corner in a residential street where
kids usually play around. He says "WTF!?!? YOU GOT A PROBLEM
PUNK! HUH, YOU WANNA GO, LETS GO RIGHT HERE!", so I said,
you almost crashed into the curb on the other lane.... dont
drive like a dumbass. And seeing his girlfriend in the car
getting embarassed and screaming at him to get in the car, I
said, you know what, I eat needle dick meat heads like you
for breakfast, Id rather not waste my time on a arrogant
douche bag like yourself. He said "WHAT?!?! DOUCHE BAG!" and
I said, yes, you pillow biter. And then drove off. He had
this puzzled look on his face and then ran up to pounch my
back window before he took off, it didnt break, and he
probubly hurt his hand really bad. And then I went on my
way.

I thought this was funny beacause not only didnt the kid
know I had pepperspray in my left jacket pocket at the time,
but I also had my giant buck knife in my car. I would never
Answer violence with violence, unless my life was in great
danger and in serious life or death risk, and if I fought
this kid, I would have really hurt him badly, yet he could
not see that I was bigger and taller then him and that I
probubly would have eaten him alive. Why are there cunts
like this in the world? Road Rage is rampant here in
California. Does it happen where you live?

I believe the universe and karma deals with people like
this. Funny thing, after I got

Funny thing, after I got home from surfing, my friends and
family chipped in to get me an early birthday presant and
surprised me with an early birthday party. I got a new
sparkly midnight blue surf board, shaped by one of my
favorite surfers, I love it. My birthday isnt until the
27th, but and I kind of took this like a reward for doing
the right thing and not answering violence with violence.
Another funny thing, the kid seems to live up the street
from me, and I saw his car parked 400 meters away from mine,
he seems to live there too, so I got his license plate
number and reported him to the police. It was pure bliss
seeing the look on the fathers face while the police man
explained my experience and complaint as I watched from
outside my home. The kid broke in tears, and I am sure I saw
the dad deck the kid in the face through the stain glass
window of the front door

I see this kid drive recklessly and fast on this residential
street where kids play like everyday

Nice to see that Karma and the cosmic force of the universe
can put people in their place

Yea afxNUMB its purple all over and my friend gave me a
sticker that says, PURPLE PEOPLE EATER, so I am going to
slap it on the bottom, hahaha! Its a rockin board! I cant
wait to give it a try, Yay!

I guess people drive fast everywhere, I am proud of myself,
but at the same time I got all this anger pent in that I got
to release somehow now, I should go outside and start
yelling really loud, that'd do it.

Thing is though, this kid could have simply just keep going
his own way and realized that in fact he WAS driving too
fast. But instead he had to be a macho pig in front of his
girl friend, and thought that fighting it out would solve
his problems. I am sure if I didnt keep my cool it would
have provoked him to try and hit me, and then I would have
had to kick him in the shin and pin him down or something
until he calmed down. But (I am asking everyone) in your
area or in your country, have you ever seen violent road
rage like this? Because I see it almost everyday here in
California. To the point were a person gets out of a car and
wants to fight it out. Its all really ridiculous and
childish. The violence infested U.S must have invented the
road rage, its really sad to see people do this to
eachother. I need to move somewhere else.

there are idiot drivers everywhere. that's a given.

the thing that makes me mad tho is that there are lots of
"macho men" in my area that drive huge pickups and blare
their stereos. that's more so showing off tho.

in fact it can be humorous at times. it's not surprising to
see one of these guys in the 26-39 year age range sporting a
mullet. quite common here.

rzpkt, man

holy shit you should have clouted the little cunt.
I do that instead of fighting now, I am the fucking clout
master. It can hurt a bit but it really embarrased people.
Kind of a nastier equivalent of whacking someone with a
rolled up newspaper.

I've never been involved in it. The only time I've been even
remotely tempted to give someone a kicking is when they've
done something wrong and nearly caused an accident then yell
at you about it. Fortunately both times that's happened I've
kept my cool and only once made eye contact with the person
concerned. He was going mental after diving through a tiny
gap (which was my right of way) nearly causing a head on
with me (not to mention the fact he had his kids in the
car). He was absolutely livid. If there had been space for
him to get out (his door was right up against a wall) I'm
sure he would of.

I've made a pact with myself- I'll never get out of the car,
but if someone tries to pull me out of mine or smash a
window I'll have no qualms about breaking their arm.

I have seen 2 guys having a proper fight as a result of it.
It was pretty funny as the one guy who was on the floor
getting kicked was just laughing at the guy kicking him
which worked the other guy up all the more.

Mickey you were already high in my esteem but now your just
way up there mate. Good work on you for keeping your cool. I
admit I drive fast myself but NEVER in a residential
area. Only on fast roads 60+ MPH. Glad to see you got that
prick good too. If only you'd got pictures of him crying
like the child he really was. Plus good work on the new
board. Always fancied surfing but don't live anywhere near
somewhere that I could. :(

Rice rocket yup, tons of em around in CA eh dolleater? man I
hate those kind of cars

Ceri JC man that sounded like a close call, I hate when I
see the person whos at fault try to blame it on someone
else, frigin a, driving fast is allright I think as long as
you have control of your car and can handle it, but I have a
big problem with driving fast around little kids

Cheers Refund and pachi

Rock on giginger! Cornwall has a surf spot you could go to
if your near there, I recently learned that through here. I
have this book that shows all the well known (minus the
secret spots) surf spots in the world since 1995, if you
want email me and I can give you some names of places near
the U.K

Knife avatar! yes! I will work on one glass_eater for
shizzle, Yay! w00t!

Anyone else here have any experience with road rage? Lots of
people from the U.K here, and the bus transit system there I
hear is just unbelievably good, so any bus rage?

With no limits on population growth the world is just going
to continue to get more violent as the years go by

I do a lot of mileage, about 40000 a year and I see plenty
of it.

A lot of it escalates from minor incidents, and it a case of
who dares to take it a step further.

Personally I blame BMW drivers, beligerant non-indicators.

yea drivers around here are pretty shitty.. if i didnt have
to drive to school i probably wouldnt drive at all. the
worst are the fools who put their bright ass lights on at
night and nearly blind you while you drive and have the
nerve to complain when u give them a friendly flashing of
the lights to tell them to turn em off.. *shrugs*

thankfully ive never been in a situation where road rage got
violent and i havent seen it occur either but people get way
to stressed out over petty shit

people just need to be considerate drivers and this would
eliminate soo many problems.. but thats not happening
either..

I don't drive, but back home I used to bullseye wamp rats in
my T16... no sorry I mean back home everyone drives like a
nut case, its in the sticks but there are loads of crashes,
lots of drink drivers. Some joyriders crashed about 100yards
from my folks place last week apparently. Road rage does
happen as a result at times.

Hey mate, I'm crap at surfing, but I'd be up for a trip to
cornwall if you are at some point in the summer (August is
best for me) Camping too maybe?

Loogie: re: BMW drivers. Damn right- particularly in the bit
of bristol I live in you get loads of BMW, Merc, Jaguar and
Alfa Romeo drivers. For some reason the highway code does
not apply to drivers of these brands of cars.

They seem to think you'll dive into a hedge to avoid
clipping wing mirrors- how wrong they are, I don't give a
damn about scratching my old banger. They on the other hand
are quite irrate at cracking wingmirrors with yours, he he
he.

My dad accuses me of doing it out of jealousy, that's not
the case at all- lots of my brothers mates have flash cars
and I have no problem with the way they drive. It's people
who seem to think you should give way when it's your right
of way simply because they have a "good car" that annoy me.

My experience:

For a while back I was driving on a roundabout. People who
want to get on it have to wait for cars that are on the
roundabout over here.

So, I was on the roundabout, and suddenly some teenage punk
in his flashy honda CRX just rammed it in front of my clio.
I just kept driving on until I was 30 centimeters behind
him, put on all light I had on the car and honked several
times.
He pulled over and apologized to me, "He hadn't seen me"
while he looked me right in the face before he pulled this
joke.
Anyways, I explained him, that if I hit hi with my clio, his
ensurance would pay my damage, but his CRX wouldn't be
unless he had all-risk insurance, which I thought he
probably hadn't.
He looked at me and told me he hadn't thought about that.

I hope he got a lesson out of it.

:)

For the rest, I'm allways speeding :).
But I try to be as carefull as I can in residential areas.
But outside of the city... *Big Grin*

You have to respect him for pulling over. I never do if
people flash me- I'm woried they might be psychos. One guy
chased me once, basically he was driving about 10 miles
under the speed limit and I was late so I overtook him. He
played the fun (and highly dangerous) game of "match the
overtakers speed" speeding up to stop me then when I slowed
down to drop back behind him as something was coming the
other way he slowed down to stop me. I ended up accelerating
as hard as I could and pulling in front of him, forcing him
to drop back. He flashed his lights and beeped his horn at
me and followed me no matter how fast I went. Even when I
slowed down and he culd of overtaken he didn't, he just kept
following me. I didn't get really worried that he was
actively following me till I turned off down some remote
lanes and he followed me at every turning. I ended up doing
80mph through these tiny lanes and managed to lose him.

ceri jc, there are far too many drivers around our way who
are intent on going under the speed limit! i have no
problems in sticking to limits, but it's the fools who just
drive so damn slow!!
my mate had been smashed off his bike something like 5
times, always by a flashy car - he got asked once, what the
hell he was doing on the road?!this guy had kids in the back
of his car so my mate apologised and said that he'd ride on
the pavement from now on & do his best to knock down his
kids! that dude was not best pleased!

About that roundabout incident:
I respect him for stopping, and thats why I explained him
how things work when you get hit because you dont obey
traffic rules. I didn't slap him or what.

Crash course guerilla driving:
People following can be annoying. Just a matter of hitting
the breaks hard at a crossroad. If he smacks into your back,
you have a nice story to tell the police :).
He's the one that's wrong.
I drive a rather old car so I would do things like that.

For the rest, I'm quite a nice person. ;)

And when people go match my speed when I'm overtaking, I
just indicate right and go right, when my car is slightly
more forward then the other.
Trust me, it works.

optional (in case it is just one guy, dont take on a car
with 4 people in it):
When you're in front of the other car break, get out of the
car and get some large and hard object (preferrably a big
wrench) out of the trunk, walk up to the window at the
drivers seat and tick on it with the wrench.
