You should have run his a$$ over and took off end of story!

 

Avoid the ragin, it just aint worth it. Cooler heads prevail.

 

Yep, I'm with Jeremy672. Call his plates in to the cops. They'll probably just pull him over and have a quick word to the wise, but that's all it takes.

 

On a few occasions, when I can see someone is approaching or has achieved road rage status, I have called *FHP (Florida Highway Patrol) on my cell phone. It really helps, because I do not feel the need to retaliate, knowing that shorty he will probably be pulled over.

To avoid being called as a witness, or otherwise "involved", I just tell them that the person was driving irradically and I thought I saw him with a beer bottle....

I though Canadians were our friendly peaceful howser neighbors to the north?



I just got a decent idea, carry around a fake police or detective badge (or something that looks like one), when they get of their car, give them a nice smile and flash the badge real quick. I new a fire chief that did once to a group of teenagers acting up in a mall, they ran outta so fast when he pretended to call for backup.

 

~Is laughing so very hard~

Nael...I'm with you.

I had some jackass West Coaster attempt to do the "Slam on my brakes in front of the big truck" thing because I passed him on the left side on a two lane rural rode....on a broken line.

See, the thing is that 550s are BIG...and heavy....and don't stop well..if I had bothered. I didn't. Plowed right through that little Lexus of his...got two scratches on the chrome of the bumper which came right out.

~Shakes his head~
Little rich boy in the overpriced riceburner, why don't you go away?

 

captainoblivious,
Just playing devils advocate here... Be careful with that manuever, it some places it is illegal to show a badge unless you have had it issued to you by a local jurisdiction. You could end up in as much or more trouble than the trouble maker!

What NozeBleedSpeed says is completely true. North Florida drivers are a pretty aggressive lot.

Some other driver threatening your life or risking his for no other reason than you passed them or got in front of them is regrettably, an almost daily occurance. Using a turn signal around here is considered a sign of weakness, and people will oftentimes block you from changing lanes if you signal. They also love to force you to the shoulder as you try to merge on to the highway.

What I want to know is, why are these people so angry? why risk death just because some guy wants to pass you or merge in front of you? It just isn't rational.

 

Before the L last September I was driving my 95 vorteched Cobra down a twisty road from my girlfriends house. It was about 1:30am and a clear summer night about 75 degrees. Anyways, this guy in a riced-up Mitsubishi Eclipse comes flying out of a subdivision with out stopping and pulls out maybe 5-6 car lengths infront of me while im doing 60 mph! Needless to say I have to get on the brakes kind of hard. So I flash my high beams at him to let him know what a dumbass move that was. So he starts slamming on his brakes and slowing down speading up. I put up with this for maybe 1/2 mile, then my anger gets the best of me. I downshift into second so hard I thought I was gonna end up with the gearshifft in my pocket and proceed to go around him while spinning and shifting gears. I easily passed him and was 4 or 5 car lengths in front of him doing 100-110 mph...so I slowed down to around 60...which was 5 mph above the limit there. So when i return to normal speeds he comes up on my *** and starts flashing his lights and whipping his car around like he's gonna pass me! LOL What a joke. I mean my car handled very good with the 2nd stage Kenny Brown suspension kit and the 18 Y2K CObra R wheels with Yokahama's . So Im like...ok...but your gonna regret it...LOL I cram it into 3rd going 60...which was perfect for my 3.55 rear end....and take off like a bat out of hell...since i knew this road like the back of my hand. He trys to keep up and I see him fading back hard. Like I said earlier this is a very curvy road some can be taken at 90+mph while others are in the 30-40mph range. He was trying to keep up but after this one longer section I was up to about 115 mph and thought I was going in way too hard into this right hander but it was too late to brake...so I just hung on and dirt tracked it around this curve at a little over 100mph. My tires where squalling and loose, and you couldnt fit a penny between my *** cheeks. Luckily i made it throught the curve though and accelerated down the next stretch. When I look in my rear view I was like holy Chit! He came flying around the curve and ran off the road and hit some trees and brush. But I was soo pissed I was like...well...what do I do know? So I turn around and go back to see if he is dead or whatever. As i get closer I can see him crawling out and looking at his car.....I was like F@*&% him...he's allright. So I get about 50 feet from him and drop the clutch and do a big burnout until i do a 180 and take back off again. LOL.... Maybe nest time he will learn better driving habits and not to bite off more than he can chew....
Ok...Im ready for the responses...come on...im waiting. Hey...all i can say is that at least i went back to check on him.

 

now thats gotta be embarrasing...tryin to play with the big boys in your little ricer and end up crashing..what a retard. At least you went back and checked on him. That turn you took at 100 must of been pretty freaky if you were loose...bet it was fun though. Was the guys car totaled?

 

:o

 

I'm sorry you guys, but the idea of getting on FRONT of someone and slamming on your brakes is RETARDED! That's the stupidest thing I can think of to do when you're pissed.

I just had a guy who gave me hell of slack when I was in the cobra and he was in his quasi-lifted Chevy sliverado with his chick. This guy, for absolutley no reason, almost ran into the back right side of me, simply to get up to the passenger side door and play tough guy. I pulled over to the left hand turn lane to take my buddy home and he pulls over and feigns running into my door! Well, that's all it took. Enough is enough. I got on his rear and we started on one of those 360 loops to get on the freeway (680S from south Walnut Creek, SPike). Anyway, I feign right, and he goes low to cover. I blast high side and squirt around and take off, all the while hearing mis crappy truck hummmmmm around the turn. Banged third and then fourth and watched him fade.

Gave him the old' flashers at the next exit and flashed my lights like I was playing the whole time. He slammed the brakes and tried to get off, but it was just too late for him...

Needless to say, he looked like a full chump in front of his girl.

 

I know, but thats why I said something that looks like one. If you flash a thing that looks like a badge and they take it as your an officer it's not your fault they're easily fooled. But impersonating an officer, thats a big trouble one.
