Road rage/bad drivers

[pwmin]

I just love it when people screw up and get mad at you for letting them know it.


The other week, I was driving and the guy in front of me was going under the speed limit...mind you 40 mph is a ridiculous speed limit on this road. I'm following him the whole time leaving plenty of room (tailgaiting is my biggest pet peeve). So, he turns down the frontage road in front of me accelerating really slowly (another pet peeve) and the first chance I get to pass (passing zone...nobody coming), I pass him and the dude has his arms out the window waving and clapping about me passing him. I wasn't even worked up or anything, just calmly passed him. I was going just over the speed limit and left him in the dust. That just really ticked me off like WTF is your problem? Get a life. Guess because I have an orange cobalt (don't even have any wing on it) I must have thought I was a hot-shot or something

Austin is bad with bad drivers too. I can't go anywhere without being cut off. Most drivers ignore the yield sign and don't even slow down when going through them. I've even had drivers behind me get mad when I do yield to others.

I hate that! I remember one time some guy in a ford ranger was crawling...like 15 in a 40. As soon as i pass him he guns it, i made it in front of him and THEN he decides to go the speed limit and tailgates me real bad. I don't understand the logic. They get mad at you for wanting to drive a normal speed.

^ when that happens I just go extra extra slow under the speed limit.... and if they try to pass me I just speed right back up... I hate people that do that.

As for the law in FL yeah its awesome all you have to do is tate that you felt threatened and the second you feel threatned and they touch the vehicle your in you are allowed to "protect" yourself legally...

Talk about road rage, watch these two redneck jerks follow this bmw down a dead end road and pull out a baseball bat. This is so good.

Yeah this happened to me the other night. Guy was going slow so I pulled out and made a right. And then he got angry I got in front of him and is riding close to my bumper.

didn't get a real good luck but he looked around 50 or so


this other time this guy totally cut me off so i beeped at him and went around him and got in front of him so we hit a light and the guy gets out of his freakin' car and comes up to my window yelling at me, so i roll up the window as I try seeing him coming (try having a rational conversation with someone like that, lol)...one of the reasons I have a concealed carry permit (as Ash said, in CO I would have had every right to shoot the bastard, but that would totally suck and not be anywhere near worth it)

LMAO. Too good. Stupid hicks hating the guy for driving a BMW, seemed like that from what audio I managed to catch anyway. You really don't know who you are screwing with.

Oh and to join the group, I nearly smacked a transit van yesterday as he just pulled out in front of me. No signal or anything and then about two minutes later another genius of the road did the same to me.
Unfortunately I cannot carry a bat in the car. However I do have a large torch, one of the long baton type ones, in my "emergency" kit in my glove box.

hahaha, that was AWESOME. i don't want to spoil the end for anyone who hasn't seen it do check it out. Lil long but the end is worth it.

I've always carried a bat in my car because when i lived further up north i use to run into racist dudes every once in awhile. Nothin worse then being outnumbered and empty handed
