What's that?
I got a guy great a couple of weeks ago. Going slow in the left hand lane, I guess he thought I came up on him too quick and did the right lane slow person block. I got past him but he floored it to stop me from passing. So I passed on the right when I could, pulled up next to him, flipped him off, and floored it. I noticed a not local car dealer decal and figured he didn't know local traffic to be upset over my driving, sure enough he floors it.
And people wonder why all I care about is overwhelming horsepower...
Heated wireless singing dancing rotating flashing cup holders don't mean shit when this kind of behavior goes down. The final word is who pwns who when everyone is flooring it.
I don't play these ridiculous games. Posture dominance toward me, and it's two seconds on the throttle and your ass is going going gone
I love being able to do 60 to 120 back to 60 in the blink of an eye before anyone has time to look up and notice. It's the road raging sore losing doing 80, 90, 100, 105, 106 who has to stay in it for 5 minutes to catch up that's going to get seen and pulled over. :biggrin:

I noticed a not local car dealer decal and figured he didn't know local traffic to be upset over my driving, sure enough he floors it. It was perfect, I let off the gas and let the clutch slow me to the speed limit when he's flying up on me on the hill over which the cop always sits. I couldn't do it so I tapped my brakes and gave the cop sign. He slowed and stopped messing with me.
I lived in Florida with out of state license plates for a bit and learned some tricks. Some are dangerous, so use them with caution. If 2 people try to wedge you to block I do what I call "drunk driving". Basically a slow drift to one side of the lane then a fast adjustment to the other. People will get out of your way fast, but be careful not to do this while intoxicated.
I used to go to work on a 75 MPH highway. I'd be going 80 in the right hand lane and people would tailgate me for no reason, flashing their brights and giving me the finger when the left hand lane was wide open. For them I had the Coogan's Bluff defense, hit the parking lights and accelerate. They think you're going to slam on your brakes and when they see the light will slam on theirs (for what seems to an observer for no reason). Always breaks their heads, they seldom will stay behind you (sometimes they will, but then you hit the brakes for real). Like I said, a little dangerous but don't slam them. Alternatively just keep slowing down until they pass.
I used to drive by the stadium every day and it was a parking lot. When you'd get moving people would hop right out in front of you. I tried slowing for them and they'd wait to jump right in front of me almost causing an accident. I sped up and they'd jump in front of me I guess mad that I was trying to stop them from coming in. What stopped them was I'd steer straight at them if they peeked out onto the road then veer last second. Always fun looking at the scared looks on their faces when they think you're trying to hit them. Not one to do unless it's a real problem (I used to think people were trying to collect insurance, maybe that's why it worked they thought I was as well).
If he flashed his gun at me, I would have pulled mine out and shot him and claim it was self defense.
Pure awesome. The drunk driving bit is money.

Heated wireless singing dancing rotating flashing cup holders don't mean shit when this kind of pissing contest behavior goes down. The final word is who pwns who when everyone is flooring it. It's usually the person who loses and gets embarrassed and is unable to do anything about it that begins to road rage.

Or, you know, be a responsible driver and avoid situations to begin with. Not encourage them. Not once had a problem in my 4cyl vehicles. Way to go, self proclaimed champ
I suppose if everyone was jumping off a bridge, you'd jump too, determined to get to the bottom first. Showed them!
So far not this week...
I like to smile and wave if people get pissed off and rage... Not worth getting into a fight or anything... there are some crazy ass people out there that you don't want to mess with.
There are bullies and there are victims of bullies.
Then there is a third type who aren't bullies OR victims.
People who just want to mind their own business and be left alone but will destroy anyone who feels the need to poke them with a stick for no reason, especially if said instigator is a bully. These people seek confrontation with no-one, yet will also be victimized or bullied by absolutely no-one.
:biggrin:
Its like the lion, the deer, and the elephant.
My road rage story is rather embarrassing. I'm not the type to ever get out of my car to yell at someone, so fortunately, it's not really that confrontational. I was driving my daughter to a lesson, and of course, we were running late and hoping to get there only 5-10mins late. I stopped at a red light (first car) in the left lane, where the right lane was one of those lanes painted with a big right turn only arrow to turn into a mall. Sure enough, as the light turns green, a middle aged woman in an Accord goes speeding past me in the right hand lane and continues straight ahead, exactly as you are not supposed to do. I was neither expecting it nor paying attention, so we came within inches of sideswiping each other. I ended up hitting my brakes, and going over a double yellow line about a foot to avoid the collision. So, of course I give her my horn for like a full 5 seconds.
So what does she do? She slows down to 25 mph (in a 45 mph zone) in front of me, where the road has once again become a single lane. Now angry, I flash my lights at her but this just causes her to slow down some more. Now going 20mph, she proceeds like this for the next few miles, with a line of 4 or 5 cars building up behind me. We finally come to a place where the road widens out to two lanes, where the right lane eventually goes to an on ramp on the highway. I then go to the right lane to try and pass her. She sees me go to the right lane, and she moves to the right in front of me. Meanwhile, the other cars behind me go left and go by her. When I try to go to the left to pass her, she guns it and the road goes back to a single lane before I can get by. Now quite upset (and quite late), I check and see there's no oncoming traffic, and I cross the double yellow to pass her.
Before I even got by her, I saw flashing lights in my rear view mirror, and ended up getting pulled over by the local police. But what's really maddening is that the woman in the Accord pulls over too, even though the police were only pulling me over. The police officer came over to me, and asked me what happened, and why I would try anything so stupid as passing across a double yellow, especially with my daughter in the car. That's when it hit me that I had just totally road-raged, and I felt completely stupid. Anyway, I told him my side of the story, and told him I was truly sorry for losing it. She apparently told the officer some ridiculous story of how she felt threatened by me, and so she was going really slowly to try and lose me at a stoplight. She also said she wanted to give a statement against me. I don't think he bought it, as I think he saw her speed up and not allow me to pass, and basically told her to get lost ("Go home ma'am. Let's let cooler heads prevail."). I still ended up getting a ticket though, and as such, my insurance rates went up a little. And we completely missed the lesson...
2) If you ever want to takeover and make the other person learn a lesson or be the one trolling. Get in front of them and brake. That's the only way it will get their attention and piss them off
If you consider someone cutting you off in traffic a bully, then you're just setting yourself up as a victim. Considering you can't know the intentions of the other driver, you would have to assume they had bad intentions.
People need to go places, we should all be making it easy for each other.
If you think someone going faster than you is an act of being a bully, you are just looking for it. I couldn't care less. I've not been "victimized" that I can ever recall.
Especially if you're on a motorcycle on a NY highway - brake checking someone is a great way to have them plow through you.
Hahahahahaha OP oh lawdy. I pulled out from my neighborhood onto the midway of the road - well apprently the guy coming wanted to turn into the neighborhood. And apparently, I did something wrong because I went into the median and that was what he needed in order to turn into the neighborhood.
Well Mr. Perfect driver apparently got pissy that I got in his way when I got onto the median and apparently followed me. I turned immediately into the parking lot for the Target that I was going to. I look in my rear view and see the same car that honked at me and simply proceeded to go around in circles in the parking lot. It was epic, I love a good troll - so this entire time I was cracking up laughing as this dumbfuck continues to follow me around in circles in a parking lot. It took him about 3 or 4 circles around this huge ass parking lot for him to realize "I see you following me dumbfuck, I'm laughing at you in my car right now."
Well uhhh... wouldn't exactly reccomend it on a motorcycle
However I feel the need to do it everytime some retard teenage woman is in the left lane going 65 because she is looking down at her cell phone constantly.
Works fine, makes them shit a brick the size of a keyboard - they get butt-hurt, I drive away laughing.
I've had 2 incidents one with a off duty cop who followed me into a mall, blocked my car in and threatened me. I stood my ground asking him to please leave. He asked me to make him. A mall cop watched the whole thing, rolled up and he pulled out his wallet and said "It's ok, I'm a cop!". They threw him off the grounds telling him he should be ashamed to act like that.
The 2nd time I accidentally pulled out in front of a guy that I didn't see due to a large shrub. He slammed his horn at me and tail gated me into a parking lot where I was heading for lunch. He got out with a small baseball bat and approached my car. I got out of the car, placed my hand clearly on my pistol and asked him to calm down. He ran to his car and drove off. I went in to get lunch and the police came because he called the cops.
After listening to our stories, they told the guy he was lucky to be alive and let me go on my way.
