Road rage or not? Would you have done the same?

Question

Awhile back I was driving through the town i live in which is not a large city, rather a small rural town. It was a two lane stretch going through the town. I was in the outside lane, driving along and abiding by the speed limit, etc. All of a sudden I see a large SUV coming over right beside me - they were about to hit me! So I swerved over and went up on the curb and slammed on my brakes just in time for the SUV to get all the way in my lane. By this time I was shaking and thankful I didnt get hit. But then the "road rage" set in. I thought - what the h**l?!?!? Aparantly they didnt look good enough when switching lanes, or I was in their blind spot - but I also remember they had no blinker on, absolutely no indication other than them just coming over in my lane. So, i keep going and the SUV starts slowing way down as if they are about to turn, I go around them and see that the woman is talking away on her phone. I go about my business and on my way back thru - continued...

Answer 1

Next time get her license plate # and call 911 saying there's a person you presume to be drunk on the road when they do something like that.

But I give you brownie points for standing up to those who think they are God's gift to the world.

Answer 2

naw man u aint wrong,.i would have slapped that ***** and all those other punk b*****s

Answer 3

My God you can talk. Your question put me to sleep for over 15 minutes. I suggest therapy. For you. If you are having this much trouble driving, take the bus. The world is an imperfect place. There's no guarantee that things are going to go your way every day. Get over yourself.

Answer 4

WoW.....yes, you are so wrong to have done that.  She could have a gun and blow you away for coming after her like a stalker and no one would even know....they would believe her because it was just your word against hers.  Actually, they could have jumped you at the salon and said, you came in there for trouble......girl you are lucky!  Please, learn from this.

Answer 5

LMAO! you was right I think u handled the situation better than I would have, I don't think it was road rage at all, I think ppl are careless on the road and they take life for granted be safe and let them have it!

Answer 6

yeah it's a crazy world

you can't do anything these days

without someone lying and saying you did

just the exact opposite so

to protect yourself

just get the lic number and call the cops on them.

avoid face to face confrontations.

too many things can go wrong.

when I was younger I would have driven right up to her and started raising h**l

but since she never saw you in the first place she'd just think you were a nut case.

oh the women in the shop are just putting on a show for the woman that pays them they do get tips for service.

so remember her suv and face and look out next time your on that road.

Answer 7

next time just get that person's license plate # and call the police.  dont bother confronting that driver because you do not know that person very well.  you are lucky that this person was not a dangerous criminal.  otherwise that person could of pulled out a gun and shoot you.

Answer 8

next time just key the paintwork its better revenge

(not that ive ever done though)
