Trash ass person riding my ass as I’m doing 20 plus speed limit the tried to run me off the road, someone tell their ugly ass granny (maybe they old wrinkly momma) to be on the look out for the police. 🤣
Had a road rage moment these group of people said I almost hit them after I pulled out of this gas station I was 10-15 feet from flipped me off so I pulled back up to them said what’s good let if at that mile down the road can speeding in my lane at 60-70 yelling out the window I’ll beat ur ass ect swerving into my line so at the red light I got out of the car and tapped on there window nothing happened but I’m stressed I’m going to lose my ls I’ve had them for a mouth now I live in Ohio
I was driving during rush hour and this car swerved in front of me so I honked. They were going to turn but after I honked they moved in diagonal to me, honked at me and screamed “I’ll fuck up your life” I’m scared they’re going to try to get me arrested for honking which sounds stupid but they said that and it’s been haunting me
I need to make this post to vent.. and maybe to help others. I feel like a dumb ass right now and I wish I can apologize to the person. I was on my way to work this morning and this person was riding to close behind me with his bright lights. Remind you that we are on a two lane one way Hwy. He gets in the other lane, then I get behind him. Now the car in front of him is going slow so he’s trying to get over. As soon as I get over to go around him.. he also was trying to get over and he honked at me, then speeds up on my bumper.. so I brake check him 🤦♂️. Now my adrenaline is going.. I’m pissed, he’s pissed. So I take off to get ahead of him and he speeds up and goes around me and then brakes checks me. So I slam on my horn and he was able to get passed the light.. turned red on me. Thank goodness. I had to calm down because my heart was racing, he was long gone. All this could have been avoided but stupid pride got in the way and I made stupid choices. ANYWAYS… that said, Im usually a calm driver, mind my business and get to work stress free. I honestly think I was just excited it was a short work week because of Thanksgiving, I had my Christmas music playing.. and that car with it bright lights just ticked me off and ruined the mood 😂😂. Ok I feel better now. I learned my lesson. Drive safe out there and hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas! Im sorry to the person which this happened to. ❤️
When I'm driving, my only goal is to get where I'm going in one piece while following the general flow of the traffic around me (unless I'm passing). I've been rear ended, nearly sideswiped, tailgated, and cut off while driving before. I get mad, and I understand feeling angry and yelling inside your car and punching the steering wheel.
What I don't understand is why some people feel the need to escalate the situation. If some asshole cuts you off and speeds away, you don't have to deal with them anymore. Chasing after them, brake checking, and incessantly honking when there's no plausibly legal reason to do so is just asking for trouble.
Do these people think they're tough? Do they not realize they are putting themselves and those around them in danger? Do they not comprehend that multi ton pieces of metal don't discriminate between a 6'6" 300 lb man and 5'2" 110 lb woman? Do they not realize half these psychos who drive wrecklessly are likely to have a gun and few qualms using it? I just don't understand risking it all for no discernable gain. Even if they are in the wrong, there's no way to make it right again by escalating the situation.
So this guy got mad at me. It was a two lane road and the lanes merged. I was in the right and there were two cars in the left lane. One car was slightly ahead and the other was slightly behind me. So I merged over assuming I would go between the two. But the dude behind got super mad and honked at me. He proceeded to tailgate me with his high beams on. When it went back to a two lane road I moved over and he sped up to get in front of me which then he brake checked me over and over again. I never hit the brake I just laid off the gas. He eventually took a right but before that he flipped me off a bunch and threw something out.
This whole time I didn’t react or do anything. The problem now is that he doesn’t live far from me as he lives on the right side of a small town and I live on the left (I didn’t turn left but continued up and went a back way so he wouldn’t know). I do however have a unique sticker that might make me easy to spot. My wife is pregnant and sometimes drives my truck so I worry this psycho might think it was her one day. It happened at night so I don’t think they could tell what I looked like.
i lost my shit today. i honestly don’t agree with road rage in most situations, but this person picked the wrong day to cut me off. i merged into the right lane on the highway because the exit onto the next highway was right there and i saw one car, going pretty fast in the exit lane but not fast enough that it wasn’t safe for me to merge. instead of slowing down, they continue the speed and swerve around me. i started flashing my brights and they were flashing there brake lights back at me. they saw i was going to pursue a chase because at that moment, all of my morale and integrity was gone with the wind and i sped up. so seeing this, the person swerved around the person in front of them and ran away like the little bitch they are. i eventually found then but passed them. i was ready to attack so good for them.
i hate that im this bothered by another persons driving but this genuinely made me mad and i need to vent. I'm driving through the parking lot of my university when a professor starts walking across to get back to his car. I stop and let him go and he waves me over to his spot, seeing that im looking for a space. In his parking row is a suv waiting in the throughway , ig waiting for a spot to open up near by. I drive up next to it to see if they're paying attention or wtv (honestly shouldn't have even done that bc the guy literally waved me over) and the girl looks ab 19 and isn't even looking up bc she's on her phone. I pull around her and drive further up into the row right by the professors car so he can come out the spot and i can go in. literally out of nowhere as im pulling forward this girl whips around me, pulls in front and starts reversing??? im confused asf bc she wasn't even looking up, im right in front of the space and there's a line of cars behind us so where does she think im ab to go if she starts reversing. I don't move for a minute or two so she can't reverse and she starts laying on her horn and staring at me thru her rear view mirror. the car behind me backs up, so i back up bc she's legit about to hit my car. would u believe this girl reverses further back, mind u there's a whole back up now bc no one's going forward, and whips into the spot tapping the car beside her. It was 3:54 and my class started at 4 so now i had to drive around the parking lot to find another spot. to make matters worse, when i drove past again, still looking for a spot, she was still sitting in her car 🙃🙃🙃 so clearly she didn't even need to park and get in to go to class that urgently .. she was just insane and entitled. i just needed to vent so I don't feel crazy rn bc i genuinely wanted to key her car for a couple minutes.
So today I was driving and cut off this car and when I say cut off I mean swimming I timed it perfectly if you no what I mean the guy then proceeded to get out of his car kick the door and window I was ab just not say anything cause I mean I did cut him off but i rolled down the window just say yo says I almost hit him wtf I go but I didn't he says cause he stomped on his brake that's some 2 year old shit I go I say what if I popped ya he just looked stunned mouth open all that idk how would y'all deal wit something like that
Hello. So I might be a shitty person. But I don’t think this guys reaction to what I did was completely necessary. I’m taking this doordash order to this house. Doordash monitors your speed and I drive an older vehicle so I was taking it a little slower at 26/27 mph in a 30. Mind you, there’s a newer white truck in front of me about 2-3 car lengths up (kinda around the recommended distance, I learned 1 car length per 10 mph)
What he did: This suburban area we are in, the guy gets in the next lane to pass but only to end up between myself and the next guy.
What I did in response : Clearly, I don’t believe I was driving poorly or that his maneuver was going to be successful in any way. If I’m driving too poorly I would man up and admit it, but I can’t help you if what your thought process is, is wrong. I’m going to be an asshole about it and speed up to prove my point. He wasn’t going anywhere else regardless of whether he passed me or not.
[Rage] :This guy guys out of his clapped out jeep wrangler and decided tonight we were going to run up on my truck and start screaming you p**** I got your number you p****. I’m no coward, but I know when to not engage with road rangers, especially one’s mad about something they had no business worrying about.
I suppose f around find out but sheesh brother we can’t go any faster so deal with it.
Hi. 22F. Unfortunately, I’m one of the asshole drivers you guys complain about in here.
I get so angry in traffic. I get so impatient. I full send it and don’t care about my safety because in all honesty, I don’t really care about my own safety. However, I’ve had two separate incidences in the last month that have been a result of me straight flooring it and trying to get ahead of the regular sensible driver who’s just trying to make it to their destination alive.
Tonight after my second incident this last month, I guess I finally realized that I was the problem. Not my music, not the slow drivers, not the school zones or the time I leave - I AM THE PROBLEM. I ADMIT THAT I AM AN ASSHOLE DRIVER. Please don’t hammer on me about this because trust me, my dad already gave me a fine ass chewing tonight that put a lot of things into perspective.
Instead of going to therapy and trying to figure out where this anger is rooted, and discovering coping mechanisms for my triggers, my dad told me to come here and ask for advice on how to chill the fuck out. I genuinely cannot fucking figure out how to control my temper. I’m not used to driving in heavy traffic as I used to have the convenience of working 2 minutes down the road. But even then, I would get so angry and aggressive. I now work in downtown Fort Worth, which is 30-45 minutes from my house give or take. I hate myself and feel ashamed and disgusted. I don’t want to be a fucking asshole anymore.
So let’s hear it. How can I calm down in traffic when people are either riding me for going the speed limit, or what can I do to mitigate these urges to just fling myself out there and risk the lives of everyone else?
ETA: I USED TO WORK TWO MINUTES AWAY. I NO LONGER DO AND THIS IS WHY MY DRIVING RAGE IS SO BAD. I WORK 30-45 MINUTES FROM HOME NOW IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH. Insulting me and telling me I’m spoiled and entitled isn’t gonna do shit because I’m already 1000% aware of that. I didn’t ask for a personality evaluation, I asked for tips on how to stay calm on the road. Thank you for reading.
So I won’t say where in Michigan but I’m interested in peoples point of view. So I was driving home on the freeway probably doing about 10ish over and I noticed this black older cop car that someone obviously bought and kept the ram bar on and side lights. Anyway they go flying by me and hurry to cut a car off a couple cars up to get off the freeway. This is the same ramp I take, at this point I really didn’t care cause it happens all the time.
Here is the fun part. There is two lanes to turn left and two to turn right. I was approaching in the far left lane and this same black charger decides to shoot over in my lane no warning making me lock my breaks. I flashed my brights and I guess that set him off. He took his light over the mirror and shinned it right in my face and started opening his door we are still at the light from exiting the freeway. So i decided nope and I drove around him.
So the next part, he quickly closes his door cause the light turned green he shines his mirror light foward and turns on his bar light making it look like he is an officer. In the middle of the turn he acts like he is going to ram my car so before he could in my view hit me I floored it( lucky for me there was literally no cars on the road).
Now at this point I floored it and I’m starting the process of calling 911. I only have a suv so he was on my bumper and started to pass me again but this road went from 3 lanes to 1. So there were tons of construction barrels. I’m thinking ok I’m good… nope he gets right next to me still trying to pass HITTING THE BIG BARRLES!! So I was forced to stop or get hit and he went into the construction zone to shoot back into the street so block my path. He starts to get out of his can and I clearly see some kind of object in his hand and I was a me to barely get around his car and continue.
The police answer and I explain what’s happening and tell them we’re I’m going. I also told them that yes I am speeding cause every time he gets in front of me he gets out of the car trying to approach me. When I get close to the station he locks his brakes and books it into the other direction.
For anyone that read this far here is where I need everyone’s opinion. I had to make a report at a different station cause where the road rage began. I didn’t make it to that station till about a hour later and who do I see. That damn car was there on and running with a passenger sitting there looking around..weird. So I park around the block and walk in.
Eventually I talk to an officer explaining my situation and said that other guy is the driver I had a dash cam clearly showing him using the spot light. Getting out of the car, cutting me off.. all of it I had on dash. The officer walks away for about ten minutes then calls the guy up first asking about what damage I supposedly caused (mine you I saw the side of his car before all this and it was already scraped up) and he real quick said oh it’s just a traffic cone I can buff it out then made some comment about how I in his view was going over 100 something or whatever and that’s why he was in there for a police report ( my wife was on the phone heard the other guy she thinks he was doing a insurance clam to fix his already messed up door)
The officer then calls me over and said I can either charge you both for reckless driving which is a misdemeanor or you can go your separate ways I asked why would I be charged?? He told me cause I was speeding after the guy acted like he was going to ram me after he already got out of the car once on me. So not wanting to argue and get a misdemeanor for running I agreed. When I left that dude was just smiling with his buddy.
So my take is it’s ok now to act like a cop as long as the other person speeds and runs away? I mean I carry but that is a last resort I can’t escape option I avoid violence when I can so this is not normal for me whatsoever. Am I crazy or is this whole situation not right. Did I do wrong? Am I supposed to just pull over and let him come up to me cause I think he had at least two people in the car I was driving alone.
So the other day I was involved with I wanna say road rage but anyways I was pulling in to a circle k close to where I live to get gas and as I pull in there’s this girl who’s blocking the entire turn in to circle k because she’s tryna go right and I got a line of cars behind me trying to continue traffic so I motion her to go she’s clear to turn in to the closest lane , she does but I see her mouthing words and so I continue to the pump and next thing I know she pulls up to the pump right beside me and starts recording me from her car , now I know this wasn’t my best idea but I went up to her car window and asked what’s up with my arms up cuz I really was confused ? next thing ik we’re in a shouting match , on why I couldn’t do what I did , I ended up slapping the phone out her hand got back in my car dipped she follows me from the gas station and then rear ends me , I pull over turn on my hazard lights get out call the cops the whole 9 yards she keeps going , ends up not having any insurance and expired tags so now I’m fucked. But ik I gotta control my anger I just wanna know what yall think ?
Yep. Just as the title says. Two different people at two different lights turned RIGHT from the left turn lane. Both times right in front of me as I was supposed to go straight through the light. There must be some type of stupid in the air these days. Because both instances also happened on the same day.
I just hate how lazy people are. If you realize you’re going the wrong way, make a u-turn down the line. It’s not hard at all to correct that mistake safely. Wouldn’t you rather do that than risk causing an accident? It was so stupid and I can’t believe it happened TWICE.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this.. I saw this video on youtube and there's 1 comment that said it gets crazier after the shorts ended. Basically saying there's a longer version but I can't find it anywhere. Have you guys seen this video?
I was headed to work last week, late shift, Friday evening so it’s rush hour traffic so it’s a bit slower than normal.
I left the house 20 minutes earlier than normal, thinking I’d get there at least 10 minutes early. Nope.
When I made my first left turn, I ended up getting stuck behind this truck who was going 25-30 in a 45. For miles it was a single lane, so I couldn’t pass. And I couldn’t change lanes anyway because I had to turn left again.
When I got up to the second lane where I needed to turn, I finally see what’s holding the truck up, it was this old beat up car, the driver looks to be about 90 years old, and as they (slowly) turned, I see there is a HUGE gap between them and the cars in front of them, and all the cars behind them were clogged up and behind. If they had been directly in front of me, I would’ve honked and screamed. They were going 25, IF that.
I ended up clocking in 10 minutes late because of their bullshit. If you can’t drive the speed limit, you can’t drive.
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.
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!
What are these pricks doing? I was late to work because of this. Hard to see from this angle but they’re all just going slow blocking all 4 lanes.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
