A. People turning right don't look left and cut you off. Then when you pass them you give them the finger and realize they're on the cell phone and still have no idea wtf is going on.

B. 2 high school kids using a ****** car cutting you off. You honk at them, they have no clue wtf happened, and just get mad and try to block you off from passing them.

Don't know if it's the heat today, as I'm not normally prone to road rage, but I actually wanted to kick those two kids and break that *****'s windows. God damn law sucks.

Take licence plate numbers, pull over and call the cops. There's a chance that if they get a call/visit from the police they "may" think twice about being ***** next time.
 
I expect this kind of behaviour from cagers so try not to get too worked up about it. You can go nuts and spend your whole day trying to teach drivers a thing or two but it's all a waste of time. Spend that time working on your defensive driving and chill out when the idiots do stuff like that.

As jc100 mentions... if they do something REALLY stupid, never a bad idea to take down their plate/vehicle and report it to the police. Depending on the situation the driver will probably get a letter from the police and this will be noted on their file. I've seen these letters and it usually scares the crap out of the driver when he/she gets it. They usually believe they never did anything that would have warranted it however.
 
I was behind a camry this morning, they made a right turn and moved to the far left lane of a 3 lane road. I was in lane 1 (closest to the curb), all of a sudden, this camry decides that it needs to pull into the gas station and thus makes a wonderfully executed RIGHT turn from the LEFT most lane without any shoulder checks or regard from anyone. I knew enough to keep my distance after i made the turn onto the same road, as i could see they were on their cell phone.

A few years ago, I would have been fuming, angry, pulled over, yelled at them. Now? it's my morning commute. I add it to the list of idiots encountered and move on.

Who needs Folgers when you have near death experiences?
 
Driving in Gardiner today morning, I realized an Elantra in front of me going not only very slow but also crossing his lanes. Tried to pass him and found out the d***bag is playing with his navigation using two hands and probably has left his foot off the gas too.

Which is why they need to X out the current HTA 172 with "Any person operating a motor vehicle in a manner akin to a chimpanzee would be drawn and quartered with the spoils distributed among everyone affected by the said motorists actions".

Of course, this would be done with the offender having undergone due process and proven guilty; Not roadside, which I'm sure most of us would like.

Like I said, I'm not prone to road rage very often. This is the first time in a year or two that I've felt such...well rage. The sheer ignorance of the dumb ***** in an SUV with a cell phone really ****** me off. My girl friend told me next time she'll get off the passenger side and knock on her window to tell her to learn to drive.

Frankly put, I'd rather carry a bunch of ball bearings and let them "accidently" slip into their window. Forget teaching them how to drive, I just want them off the road.

it would suck if the bearings hit other cars though. just follow the driver, then car is parked just slash tires lol
 
Vigilante justice would be awesome if it were legal, but then if it was legal it wouldn’t be vigilante justice anyway….:p:(:confused1::D
 
If we are moving I usually ride up beside them rev loud then shake my head (hoping they know they messed up)
If we end up at a red I knock on the window and tell them, to watch where they are going or whatever

+1...not that it's right or anything, but this crap is normal. If you expect the absolute worst, you'll be damn near psychic out there haha. It puts a dim light on humanity....
 
I was on the 401 today and the lane was ending on the left due to construction. I passed a black van before I merged. The girl in front of me in a Mazda Protege hit her brakes so I hit mine to but I ended up to her left side almost next to the car. She then rolled down her window and gave me the finger. She thought I was trying to pass her. What a dumb *****. If I wanted to pass her, I would've been gone.
 
I was going home yesterday on Finch going East and this White CRV decides to make a right turn into my lane without any shoulder checks. Honked and he backed off asap and then i saw the wife/girlfriend slap him on the next red light.
