Has anyone experienced Road Rage before?

Question

Today my family and i was drinving on the highway ,and I guess my daughter wasnt driving fast enough ,so he passed her and flipped her off and said a few choice words ,then he sped at 80 miles a hour, has this happened to you?what did you do?

Answer 1

It happens in California allot.  That's part of the reason we moved away from the craziness of all the traffic.  I use to be aggressive when I get flipped off or honked at.  I use to follow them until they stopped and handle the issue.  Being involved with Marshal Arts, it was fairly easy to take care of myself unless I see a gun.  But when it's one on one, the other guy usually needed medical attention before I would leave.

Other times when I'm in a good mood and it's a guy showing me his anger, I pucker up and blow him a kiss.

Answer 2

Yes I see it just about everyday to many degrees but what I do is very simple.

Don't loose your cool at this some point, but by planning ahead and keeping things in perspective, you can prevent your emotions from getting the best of you.

Putting aggressive driving in park will help to ensure your own safety, as well as the safety of everyone around you.

Answer 3

Worse then that, some big gang banger lookin dude who might have been packing heat stopped his car in front of me in traffic and got out of his car obviously heading for my door to pull me out.  Nearly ran his azz over and sped off, he chased me but I eventually lost him due to a superior car and driving skills lol.  I'm lucky to have not got into an accident or got pulled over.  This was in Arizona, I live in NY now and strangely enough it's never happened to me here.  Ironic.  Usually I would say just ignore them, but in this case I obviously didnt have much of a choice.  

Wait...correction, I have been road raged in NY lol.  Some tool tried to speed around us on the entry ramp to a highway, but we were in a work van and accelerating slowly.  This nutcase, on his phone, IN A LUXURY CAR....rammed us from behind!  A car vs a huge work van?  Little bit scarry, not because his car could hurt our van but because he was really that far out of his mind....wierd people these days.

Answer 4

You rejoice that your daughter was driving within her limitations and not endangering you all.   You can't control how other people behave, however badly it may be.  Just be grateful you haven't had to clean up the mess from one of these fools.

Answer 5

nope as i don't drive but i have had heat rage.

Answer 6

I had a guy flip me off one day because we both made a lane change at the same time. The guy sped off in his big pickup truck like his pants were on fire. A few miles down the road the police had him pulled over. I just honked my horn and waved as I passed. The officer just smiled and waved back as he wrote out the ticket.

Answer 7

It has happened to me, but in my case I was the one enraged. It was only because the other car almost caused an accident. I also didn't flipped them off or sped away, may have used just a word or two though.

Answer 8

just smile at them and go on. funny when people do that and you see them down the road pulled over. lol

Hi Mary--road rage is another example of the assh---es that are out there co- existing with us all day long---on the road--at work---at the store--in the mall--anywhere you go there are jerks. On the road you want to let them get past you--so they won't collide with you--ignore the horn and the gestures---just think about YOUR safety and driving safely. It is OK to be slow--but if too many people are honking--maybe you are too slow and you need to step it up a bit--drive like a pro---always check the conditions around you. Keep to the right--IN AMERICA--let the nuts fly by on the left. NEVER chase a guy--get the despcription and plates on the car--if it gets dangerous, pull off and call the police. Relax--we see assh---es all day....you know their lives are messed up!! Good luck !!

Answer 10

LOL i smile and wave....im sure they hate that but really you have to be careful getting out of hand...ppl carry guns these days and do not care about your life....i have had road rage before and it lead into a pretty nasty situation...the guy tried to run us off the road and then of course my hubby wasnt going to let it end there...yea it was stupid and scary. not worth it...just be safe
