I write them tickets for "unecessary use of horn"

The ultimate troll

I am generally a punk rock guy, but bravo and thank you.

If you do have the power to write tickets, I bet you wish some posters in this thread would roll through your jurisdiction.

Sometimes I would drive on the extreme edge my lane or even right on the lane marker and then the car next to me would keep blowing his horn. I love to mess with people like that who love to use their horns over every little thing.

Thats good, maybe that'll teach them. Until you meet someone who is prone to road rage and had a bad day and also happens to have a carry license.

I got honked at last summer for stopping completely at a stop sign.

Got one better. I had parked, and was helping an old blind lady,(with a white cane), cross the street, and we had the green, and were in a crosswalk. Some soccer mom wanting to turn left honked at us. Guess we just weren't moving fast enough.

Tell me, when you get out of your car at it, seriously, what the fuck does that mean?

It means he has to run back to his car when the light turns green and look like a huge douche.

Or get blasted by those of us who carry. Because we all know he is so huge that we will feel threated for our lives when he starts pounding and kicking at our window screaming he will kill us.

You'd be lucky if I didn't drag your ass out of the car...however; it's awesome to see someone blow the red light over it.

I don't do this for simple things, but I have no problem going up to someone and knocking them the fuck out when they deserve it.

BTW, I carry a knife with a nice glass breaker on it. Haven't had to use it yet, but not against the idea.

Again, if I do get out of my car at a red, someone has it coming...it's not just because I felt threatened they changed lanes at the last minute getting my spot at the front of the line.

Last time I checked, hollow point 9's> knife? But I could be wrong.

Also...Do you really think it's worth committing a crime over somebody "stealing your spot in line"?

What if you walk up to the car and it's a mom and her 3 kids? You gunna jack their mom up infront of them?

At the risk of being a massive hypocrite, that's a terrible idea ^^. I can relate to idiots making you insanely angry, I've had several extreme road rage incidents that I'm probably lucky not to be in prison for.

The problem with raging against random people (particularly here in Texas, but anywhere in the US really), is you don't know if the guy is carrying and itching to use his CC, or is an off-duty cop who will destroy your world, or whatever. Another thing to consider is that really hurting/injuring someone may end up hurting their family members/loved ones who might be the sweetest people in the world. Sending them home with a broken clavicle, shattered orbital bone, severe concussion, punctured lung, subdural hematoma, etc, is very easy to do in a moment of anger, but on balance is like I said, a terrible idea.

I do admit hypocrisy here, as sometimes I do fly off the handle.

I call the cops and give them a license number or I avoid/ignore them and go about my business.

Radical approach, I know, but it works for me.

And one day, you will meet another car doing the same thing and hit it head on.

I don't play chicken with cars that are coming the opposite way, that is just stupid. I only mess with cars in lanes that go the same direction as me if they are stupid drivers.

i wish more drivers have licenses. too many illegals here without licenses so they don't have insurance.

That's true, my ex-wife was driving one of my cars when an illegal rear ended her coming of a freeway exit ramp, didn't even slow down. No insurance = arrrrrrrrrrrgghhhh. I stupidly only had liability on the vehicle, so it was a total loss other than the scrap value I got, which was about $4k IIRC.

Lol, most don't have the balls to pull their gun out...plus good luck with me slightly behind your left side getting a clear shot anyway. Stick to CoD or whatever game you play.

You the man now dog.

three years ago I was involved in this....not illegals, but people with no pot to piss in and no insurance.

Tried to create a 1 million dollar lawsuit against me claimed they all had at least 50% disablity and wanted the limits of my policy.

It was a 10mph accident which sadly caused $8000 in damage to my car...barely anything to their already beaten up Mustang.

In the end though against my wishes the insurance company sent them a $10k check as settlement and they took it. Chances are they didn't get a dime after the lawyer and his chiropractor that was seeing all three of them every day for 4 weeks got paid.

I have this huge pet peeve where if it's dark out and I'm behind someone then pass them, if they turn there brights on when I get in front of them I slow way down till they turn them off. If they try to pass, I speed up. Lather, rinse, repeat till they turn there brights off. Just one of those things.

I will tell you what, find me on the road and really get me wanting to get out at a red light over your antics.

Hell find me anywhere and provoke me. You will get the live show.

I don't know you, hell I just dropped in without reading what y'all have been arguing about, but from what you just said, you strike me as the kind of guy who wears a "Welcome to the gun show" shirt. Just sayin.

Haha, I used to carry a Thor-X 10M spotlight in my car. Someone behind me with brights, I pop that bad boy out and flash them, instant no more brights. Hell most of the time they pulled over. I was young and stupid though, I could have caused a wreck with that thing.

nah, don't need to bring any attention to my arms.

I may wear a shirt that says "tell your girlfriend to stop staring!"

I wear quite a bit of funny tshirts to the dog park, I like my "Make It Rain!" one with the monopoly man throwing money in the air.

I don't understand this type of behavior. Unless I directly threated your life, your property or your family, you have zero right to use violence against me. I can walk up to you on the street and call you a small dick pussy loser, but that doesn't give you a right to "give me the live show". However it will earn you the right to sit in a jail cell.

First, no need to get all scared now...it's not like I am going to hunt you down or you will somehow come down here anyway.

Second, I stated there would have to be a good reason I did get out of my car. These reasons would be you nearly killed me or someone else / got us into an accident.

I wouldn't recommend banking on me going to jail after calling me a small dick pussy loser to my face though.

I sort have been through this before and it's rare to ever get a follow up from the police and even when they are there it becomes a "do you both want to go to jail, or do you guys want to find somewhere else to go?"

just sayin'

Its best to just ignore and avoid all the shit as best you can. There is literally nothing good that can come from antagonizing other drivers, no matter how badly they deserve it. I'm not saying I don't get angry sometimes (often) but there is really no long term upside to these kind of acts. But I'm old and grew out of this shit.

How about instead you don't drive like an idiot? You are an asshole, would you rather that they don't blow their horn and you drive right into them because clearly you can't drive for shit.
