Anyone recognize what company this insurance card is with?

My daughter (new driver) was rear ended the other day and she knew enough to get a copy of the insurance card, but this is all she got. Texts and phone calls have gone unanswered. Anyone recognized what insurance company has a card that looks like this. It came from an app or Apple Wallet. It was in Texas if that helps any.

Need to find this video or I will go crazy!!! Help!

Hello Reddit!!!

I am going mad as I can not find this particular road rage video!!!

It is more a car park video where this woman/man, hard to tell because of the transformation throughout the video, she asks this man in his car to drop the window and starts telling him off very quietly and softly when suddenly their face goes demon like including their voice (deep guttural tone!! Scary as hell!) and I am pretty sure they call the driver a whre/slt while trying to grab the drivers arm! I am pretty sure the driver starts closing the window on them!!!

Help please!!! Also, it was a UK video!!!! Thank you!

Guy pulled over me violently

I was going like at 50 km/h on my motorcycle with my wife and there was a car in front of us who was driving in between both right and middle lane also going at almost same speed. I was in the middle lane was changing to left lane.

There came a u turn at road on third lane He suddenly made a sharp turn to left without indicator and braked a little (i don't know why maybe a car in front of him took a u turn suddenly or he was driving unaware) and came in front of me which was wrong and i was going to nearly crash into car from behind and controlled my motorcycle with difficulty and braked hard to slow down. It was too horrible experience that me and my wife were going to crash into this car.

Well i got frustrated at this and i beeped horn for at least 5 seconds behind him, he just went ahead, i accelerated my motorcycle and asked him by gesturing and waving that what's wrong with your mind, isn't your mind working you just took a sharp turn to left nearly killing us.

He gestured me from the car that's what's wrong with me and then opened window and stared yelling and shouting at me in a most bad tone kept shouting what's wrong haaa what's wrong haa?There was an elderly man sitting with him but he was just silent watching all of this.

I then ignored his all noises, not replied, not made eye with contact him, just looked forward, accelerated my motorcycle and went ahead so situation doesn't get escalated as i sensed that he was upto something and even maybe had a gun in car as he was looking kind of that guy and was shouting violently.

but he came following me again at same time, pressed horn like an animal tried to stop me and got his car so near to me like he was to run over causing me to go to far left side for keeping my distance and he kept shouting the same words as before.

I hardly made my motorcycle a little far from him and i didn't stopped. My wife got terrified but i kept the calm and again he accelerated and just stopped his car infront of me and again shouted same words like he wanted to have fight etc.

I braked but there was u-turn at the same time to my left and i instantly turned to that with full acceleration and then i went far away and he got behind maybe he gave up on following himself then. I didn't saw him coming after that and we came home safely.

I want all experienced persons' thoughts on it, how should we handle a situation like this? What should I not do next time and what should i do? where was the fault and who's fault?

I know it's a not a joke for a person to stop, pullover, intimidate or trying to run over us....

Let me know what should i do next.

People Behind You

My biggest pet peeve is being first in line at a red light and needing to turn right but while looking at oncoming traffic, someone honks their horn from behind you. Like if you’re not first- you’re not seeing what that other person sees, especially if it’s another car coming right down the street. Had this car do that tonight and could tell they felt stupid when they saw a white car come flying down 3 seconds later. Well, when I went to turn- instead of this car even looking down the street- they turn immediately right behind me and tried to speed up faster even though they’re behind me. Like I hate cutting people off- but learn how to be patient behind the wheel.

Tailgating in a School Zone

I slowed down to the 20mph requirement (at posted times) in a school zone. Some douchebag who apparently can’t read and doesn’t understand the rules of the road starts blowing his obnoxious air horn and tailgating me in his jacked up small-penis mobile. Why are these people never held accountable for their shitty driving?

CA road rage, coins thrown and damage windshield

All, I was driving on a freeway and needed to move towards the off ramp that was coming up ~1mile. I turn my blinker on and start moving into the empty lane when another car almost hits me and speeds ahead. I flash my lights at him and he immediately throws either rocks or coins at me that scratch up my windshield. Like 5 throws from his car window. We get off on the same ramp and proceed to drive the same one lane road. We get to a stop light and he gets out of his car and threatens me, asks why I was flashing him and next time said he would break my jaw. I have the whole thing on film from my dashcam. I don’t know the true damage to my car because it’s dark but what should I do? It’s been a couple hours now.

BMW driver threw trash at my car

i was coming from 286 fairfax and exiting to route 66 and a bmw dipped multiple lanes and cut me off and almost dinged the front side of my car i had to hit my breaks to avoid being hit, i honked at them and flashed my brights and they proceeded to throw trash out of their car and sprayed wiper fluid for a good 5 minutes, and eventually when i passed them, they threw something that sounded like a rock at my passenger door but thankfully it didn’t leave any visible dent, after that i gave them the middle finger and sped past them i could not help it, why are you throwing garbage at my car after you almost hit me? like no shit i was going to honk at someone who cut off multiple people and almost hit my car for no reason, this was also a few weeks after i just got a new car because someone did a hit and run by ramming into my car resulting in it being totaled because they were on their phone not paying attention. has anyone from VA noticed how bad VA drivers are?

If your first in a traffic line and your at a red light 🚦 you should be the main one paying attention.

I was at a red light this morning and when the light turned green the drivers in all three lanes took like more than 5-6 seconds to respond to the green light. I’m like how are all three of you stalling at the light now?? I was thinking maybe they are talking with each other but then I’m like I don’t give a fuck get out the way, but then I’m told to be patient.

Help finding video

I am looking for a video I saw a few months ago and was wondering if anyone in this sub could help me out. The video depicts a Ford Pickup, perhaps F150 Platinum getting cut off by an suv or car trying to merge late. Eventually, the Ford is able to get back in front of the car where it rolls coal and turns on its rear facing bed lights to blind the merging vehicle. I believe it was taken in NY from what I remember of the plates.

How do you deal with all those stupid and selfish drivers out there?

This is more of a rant than a question but here goes.

But seriously how do you guys deal with these kind of drivers who are so slow and selfish and unaware of anyone else around them? My job involves driving pretty much all day as I’m constantly moving around and seeing clients. Several times a day, I run into drivers going way under the speed limit. Listen slow drivers don’t bother me, as everyone has their own reasons for driving whatever speeds they’re driving. It’s the ones who drive extremely slow on roads with no opportunity to pass legally, and don’t pull over at all, it takes 2 seconds. Despite having plenty of room to safely move over and let others pass on a road with only 1 lane in each direction, these drivers I’m referring to just don’t. This makes me extremely angry, to the point my blood pressure is skyrocketing and my veins are just about popping and I just want to scream, as there’s no reason to drive way under the limit and not move over and let others pass, unless you’re a completely selfish, narcissistic, retarded, controlling jerk, who serves no purpose in life other than to piss people off. It’s extremely controlling behavior actually and I get really mad anytime someone inconveniences me, gets in my way and refuses to move, or tries to control me. Going really slow and letting a whole line of cars form behind you is doing nothing but messing with people’s lives and time. If people didn’t get in my way or try to control me I’d never be mad. If everyone drove equally courteously there would never be any road rage and far less accidents. But unfortunately there’s millions of retarded scumbag losers out there who serve no purpose in life whatsoever other than to make people angry and ruin their lives.

I’ve witnessed so many accidents happen because someone was driving really slow, and other cars were trying to overtake that slow driver, causing crashes with the slow driver and sometimes other nearby cars. All these accidents I saw could have been avoided if the slow driver just got out of the way. And don’t even think about victimizing the slow driver in this case. Driving extremely slow is a 3 point moving violation in my state, while driving fast and passing illegally is also a 3 point moving violation in my state, so who’s really the victim in this case?

So how do you deal with these kind of people? Because it really makes me angry that these scumbag retarded loser slow drivers are allowed to exist!

I have severe driving anxiety now

Road rage is no joke and I got the extreme end of it today coming home from Orlando after evacuating from hurricane Milton.

I'm still not exactly sure what I did to piss the guy off. I think maybe we both switched to the middle lane around the same time. I was in the far right and he must have been in the passing. I always check my rear view to know who’s behind me and I have an alert when it’s unsafe to switch lanes. I also also double check my mirror before I switch lanes.

I was going about 65 in a 55 and he was going way faster and swerved around me and cut me off. I tried to lay back because he gave me the finger but he kept pulling in front of me and driving really slow.

He started pulling onto the shoulder to try to get next to me. I was worried he might have something so I stayed away. The third time he waited on the shoulder until I passed and sped up behind me and side swiped the front of my car.

We’re all stressed so please be mindful in Tampa Bay right now. I don’t have his tag number because I was just trying to keep my family safe and get out of dodge.

Crazy Interaction

LONG POST Man, just LAST NIGHT, this guy who lives in my neighborhood evidently thought I cut him off (I didn’t) when turning from the main road. I actually was trying to let him get in the passing lane since he missed the turn. I had just come from the gym and was all amped up. He blew by me and blared his horn, so I just continued home. He turned in the street in was turning in, thought I was following him and got out of his car and started yelling. Now, I’m not saying I was right, but I made sure he wasn’t carrying a weapon and I hopped out. Now, I’m not the biggest guy, but I lift regularly and I still had that “pump” from the gym. I’ve been in several fights over the years, but when I was younger. He was much taller and much fatter. When I got out, he ran back to his car and shut the door and started screaming at me. I was asking him what his problem was, and he was just unhinged. I asked him what he wanted to do — fight or what? He said, “I’d knock you out,” while sitting in his car. My dumb, Irish ass was telling him to come and show me. He didn’t and he wouldn’t. Even after I told him to either get out of this car or drive his fat ass home. I kept asking if he was gonna fight or sit in his car and scream. Called me a bald-headed mf 🤣 (I shave my head). I called him a fat mf, and he drove off. HERE IT IS There was a cop that was watching the entire thing. He came over after the guy had left and asked what happened. I told him, he told me to be careful. He left and I headed home. I stopped at the stop sign to read a text and I hear him yelling again — the guy from the car. He thought I followed him. I said, “I live here, Dumbass.” He said, “I do, too.” Yeah, I know. You’re in your driveway yelling at me. Went home, thought about it. I felt bad because I could’ve pummeled the guy and I really felt bad about some of the things I’d said. Like really bad. I’ve been in fights, and I’m around aggressive men daily. I did something WAY OUT OF CHARACTER for me — I got in my car, drove back to his house. He was still outside. I walked to him, shook his hand and apologized for whatever he “thought” I’d done to him. Totally diffused the situation. The “young me” would’ve reached through his car window and beat the life outta him. Imagine that. I had no idea a cop was watching the whole thing. He was scared. He wasn’t going to do anything and he kept creating distance and got in his car when he saw me get out of mine. Dropped the ego. Stayed out of jail.

Bad Habit --- LA driving in 1993

Hey, man, you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car, don't give me no crap
'Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap

When I go driving, I stay in my lane
But getting cut off, it makes me insane
I open the glove box, reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)

They say the road is a dangerous place
If you flip me off, I'll get in your face
If you drive on my ass, your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last

I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)

Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker!

I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah)

Decided to be Loving

Someone rolled down their window next to me to start screaming and flipping me off. Don't actually know what the issue was, so I just ignored him and kept a blank face. He ended up driving next to me for a half a mile while not looking at the road until we eventually came to a red light in a residential neighborhood. He continued screaming things I couldn't actually hear while families walked by looking at him like a lunatic. I wanted to at least do something, so before I turned at the red and we parted ways I decided to smile and blow a kiss at him 😂

I've never seen a grown man so enraged in my life, to the point he angrily blew me a kiss back then started yelling the f slur with children and families walking by. I feel even better about what I chose to do since I brought out his homophobia and it ended up being the thing he was most mad about, not whatever potentially life threatening traffic situation he was mad about. "Almost being injured is one thing, but if I see anything I could possibly construe as gay then that's the last straw" type energy 🤣

Road rage that left me bewildered because the inciting event was not even a problem.

I was driving home from work, I take all back roads which takes me longer, but just feels more relaxed. On this particular day I came around a blind corner to find a guy in a pickup truck stopped to let an old lady cross the road. While this was unexpected and forced me to slow down rapidly, it was never so dire that my brakes or tires screeched as a result. Nor was it one of those scenarios where I came to a stop inches from the bumper. I just had to quickly slow down and then with about 15ft remaining, I eased up to queue behind the truck.

When the old woman crossed, the guy didn't immediately go. Instead, he felt the need to turn around and glare at me through the rear window. I thought, ok buddy, kind of a shitty reaction, but whatever. He starts to go and at the end of the road was a stop sign. He stays sitting there for a while giving me time to catch up and once I'm again stopped behind him, he rolls coal on me and takes off. And, by takes off, he wound up going probably 70mph in a 40mph zone. Which was the second thing of note to me, like, you're so angry at me for coming around that corner and stopping as if I was being dangerous and yet here you are driving dangerously. So, he disappears down the road around a slight bend. When I come around the bend, he's there pulled over on the side of the road in someone's lawn. I remember that too, because I thought, must be his house the way he's just occupying the front yard. As soon as I pass him, he pulls out and then starts tailgating the absolute shit out of me.

Now, I don't believe in brake checking or slowing down or doing anything when it comes to tailgaters, my philosophy is, you're behind so I don't care what you do, it's clear road in front of me, tailgate all you want. If it results in you hitting me, then you're at fault. So, besides recognizing that he was tailgating me, I just ignored him the rest of the way down the road. I was having a nice time just jamming to my music.

After a few miles, our paths finally diverge and as he turns off, he makes sure to blare his horn at me overly long and flip me off out his window.

And the whole time, every bit of it just left me like, why? The inciting incident was a nothing burger, there was no harm whatsoever. In fact, considering the speed limit was 40mph and you stopped on a blind corner, the fact that I was able to come to a stop without being on your ass or screeching the tires/brakes makes it even more of a nothing burger.

So what the fuck was that shit about then? I would have liked to ask. Did he have a bad day? Is his personal space bubble just larger than other drivers on the road? What? It was just so ridiculous to get that heated over nothing.

Encountered with an Angry man few days ago

Recently, I had a distressing experience while riding my bike in Pune. I was in an unfamiliar city, far from my hometown, when a man approached me aggressively, claiming that I had cut him off and injured him and his vehicle. To be honest, I didn’t feel anything unusual, and my bike was driving normally and didn't feel that I cut him off or our vehicles even touched.

However, not wanting the situation to escalate into a physical confrontation, I decided to apologize, gave him some money, and left the scene. At the moment, it seemed like the best way to avoid any further trouble in a city I didn’t know well.

Since the incident, I've been struggling with a fear, especially when driving. I keep replaying what happened in my mind and feeling anxious about the possibility of it happening again. I’m trying to shake off the unease, but it's been difficult.

I’d really appreciate any advice on how to overcome this fear and rebuild my confidence on the road. Has anyone else been through something similar? What helped you move past it?

Encountered a Very Angry Woman Today

I was in a turn lane that is designated to people like me, who are turning onto the freeway. It does not merge into the main traffic.

Well, some very sweet woman turning into the main lane I wasn’t in thought she somehow owned the lane I was in and started merging herself into my car and holding down her horn.

I accelerated fast and got away from her to avoid her hitting the end of my car… but to my surprise she sped up and wouldn’t let me escape her.

So I did the next best thing and slowed down to let her pass… but she didn’t want to pass… she wanted to whip in front of me and go from 80 to 25 in the middle of the freeway.

So, I flashed my beams and whipped around her (my car is fast)- I literally had to run away from her because she didn’t want me to leave without me hitting her car… but she couldn’t catch up. I put my car in sports mode, cracked my window up above the tint…

And as I cut through the entire freeway to strategically take an exit with my middle finger sticking out window, she slowed down to look and couldn’t get to me

Realizing she lost me…

Goodbye kind lady.

Why does NOBODY accelerate on the ACCELERATION ramp

I’m sorry but I need to vent. Every single day, every single person I am behind on an acceleration ramp goes 10mph or brakes. If you’re too scared to drive, don’t go onto the thruway. This is how you cause accidents!! How am I supposed to merge when traffic is 55 or 65mph while simultaneously trying not to rear end someone going 10mph in front of me. Normally I would brush it off, but it’s extremely frustrating when it is every person doing this. I can’t rack my head around it.

I cut someone off

I cut someone off the other day while I was driving I had time to go just fine but they some how ended up behind me. They then tailed me and took pics of my car severing and such can I legally get in trouble or am I okay? I will say I'm in the wrong cause I did cut them off regardless if they sped up or not. I still made a mistake.

Dear pickup trucks: get off my ass!

I say this bc it JUST happened to me, but please, get the fuck off my ass. If we’re on the freeway and it’s raining so hard that my tires are water deep, can’t see the road bc of how saturated it is, and even my wipers can’t keep up w/ the intensity of the rain on full speed—why the fuck are you riding my ass? I drive a little ass sedan bro💀I don’t drive this big ass lifted truck to be driving like a psychopath going fast asf in tire deep water followed by intense rain.

What’s your best road rage story?

I figured I enjoy reading all the road rage stories, maybe we should start a thread of people’s best road rage stories. I’ll start. Been driving for a few decades so I’ve got quite a few. But here’s two of my favorite:

First one: I was like 20 or 21 years old. Driving as we all do, minding my own business. Driving through my hometown down a road that has a 25MPH speed limit. Guaranteed I wasn’t doing that speed limit because I do have a lead foot. Apparently my level of speeding just wasn’t doing it for the guy in a truck behind me. Riding my ass to the point I thought he would need to fasten the seatbelt in my back seat so I didn’t get pulled over. We get to a section of road that turns into 2 lanes each direction and he of course, passes me. No big deal. But then he swerves in front of me and brake checks me. Now I’m pissed. But I don’t drive like a douche so I just wait for my opening. He moved back into the other lane and wouldn’t you know it, a car in front of him needed to turn. So he winds up behind me again and the road goes back to one lane. He proceeds to ride my ass again and frankly, I had enough of his shit. So, I opened my moonroof and took the super sized coke I just bought and tossed it straight up out the moonroof and BOOM! My drink exploded all over his windshield. He slammed on the brakes and his wipers were going high speed as I kept driving off. Sweet revenge.

Second story: I was driving on a major highway. I was in the left lane and due to reasons the right lane was completely bumper to bumper. This highway was a divided highway with jersey barriers between opposing directions. Well, some asshat flies up on my ass and starts flashing his high beams at me to move over. But, where am I supposed to go? The right lane is literally bumper to bumper and I am passing cars pretty quickly. Apparently his brain didn’t comprehend this and he proceeded to get all the way up my ass flashing his high beams. So, here’s a little factoid for you if you were unaware, your brake lights don’t come on when you yank your emergency brake. Having had enough of that asshole that’s exactly what I did. I pulled the emergency brake, locking up the back brakes, and watched his dumb ass swerve into the median, making solid, catastrophic contact with the concrete barrier. I released the brake, smelled the sweet smell of vengeance and burnt brakes, and continued on.

Sure. Some might say I was road raging. I say I fought fire with fire.
