In a road rage incident, how do you react?

Question

If you were involved in a car crash, what is your first reaction?

Answer 1

I call for a roll of toilet paper maby two

Answer 2

First thought, get out, if you are capable, then ask the others if they are alright.

Answer 3

First, I'd realize I'm alive and be happy about that. Then I'd make sure passengers are all ok. Then I'd get out of the car, make sure the other people are ok and call the police. I wouldn't even get into a conversation about who's fault it is- that's why you call the cops.

Answer 4

Last time it happened to me I called the police using a cell phone. I was just leaving the city and exiting to a highway. The patrol stopped those guys on a highway few minutes later, stopped me too, asked for my statement and let me go.

I don't know what happened to the dudes that were road-raging me. But I think they were speeding anyway when caught, accidentaly it happened on a stretch with lower speed limit, so at least they got fined.

Usually I just ignore ragers, but this time it got serious. They overtook me, braked hard and drove at less than 20mph and blocking me when I tried to overtake them. So I stopped at gas station, just for like one minute, to let them go, but they were waiting for me at the next junction and started to tailgate me...

Answer 5

Well it depends. If it was their fault, Id say "What the #&%$ is wrong with you?!?! Why did you hit me doing 80? Are you on Drugs?!"

And if it was my fault Id say " What the #&%$ is wrong with you?!?! Why did you stop at a stop sign, and let me hit you doing 80? Are you on Drugs?!

Answer 6

First reaction is shock followed by realization that I'd just been in an accident.  Check to see if my passengers are ok then check to see if other drivers are ok.  Then finally call police and ambulance.

Answer 7

Heh. Shoot first.

Answer 8

It depends on what happened, who was at fault, if anyone got hurt, and which car i was driving ;) But most people go strait to the defensive and deny that it was their fault, then they try to pen the blame on the other person.

Answer 9

Terrance:  Your brain?  You mean Dane Cooks' brain?  lol.  Anyways, road rage, I hate that and TRY not to get caught up in it.  Accident, I'm immediately rageless despite who is at fault and try to be cooperative, helpful, call 911 immediately if it's serious, etc.  I've been in a few fender benders that weren't my fault, one that was, and I've helped a fellow who fell asleep and drove into a tree (he was okay, I think the alcohol cushioned the impact...)
