Have you been in road rage before?
Superb Opinion
I was driving with an American passenger in the UK and they saw me flashing my lights at people and I explained that we do that to tell other drivers that we are giving up our right of way (not legally speaking) / that they should go OR if they are passing on the other side of the road then it means they should turn on their lights due to bad weather or low light etc / if they have them on already it means that they have a light that isn't working properly so that they can fix it.
My American passenger was shocked and told me that if you were to flash your lights at someone in America like that they would probably follow you for 30 miles before shooting you dead at the side of the road.
I looked up the stats for road rage related gun fights and if memory serves it's something like once every 2 or 3 days on average someone is murdered in the states with a firearm because of something that happened while driving.

I was in Las Vegas once with my girlfriend, and this asshole behind me turned his brights on started honking. So I slowed way down to piss him off, then he whipped around next to me and I flipped him off. Which made him even more upset, so he whipped around in front of me and slammed on his brakes, bringing us all to a grinding halt in the middle of the road.
Some harsh words and threats were exchanged and we agreed to pull over and fight.
Then he started trying to get away from me, but I was right on his ass, whipping in and out of lanes, waiting for him to pull over, which he finally did.
When we finally started to pull over, my girlfriend was absolutely terrified and was yelling for me to knock it off and keep driving.
So out of respect for her, I decided not to get out and beat his fucking face in and end up in a Las Vegas jail, or get shot on our vacation lol
I admit, both sides were equally guilty and I could've handled it much better

Not per say road rage, but someone once did block my truck in and he setup a table to play games and said he wasn't going to move until I left.
I used my truck to move his car. After calling the police twice failed to achieve them coming out to do anything. Police said they couldn't do anything.
He was being an ass to me, didn't like me... intentionally blocked me in, so that I'd have to call for a ride then soon as I was gone he was going to leave and I stayed for over 3 hours before I lost it and did that.
Some might call that road rage, I call it parking rage against someone who deserved it.

Extreme road rage where I become a danger to myself and others no. Mile road rage where I’m saying things like ‘find your fucking gas peddle!’, ‘can we go the speed please the roads are fine!’ ‘get out of the fast lane if you’re not going to go fast!… things like that. And then I usually pass them; I don’t flip people off though or anything like that unless they cut me off in which case I just gesture at them like WTF!

I have. Once I was entering the left turn lane in orderly fashion with my turn signal on and some Karen drove up beside me on the left, forcing me back out into traffic. At the right time, I stopped and punched her side window, cracking it. She was terrified. She thought I'd look by her anonymous, rude, entitled move, and she paid for it.

yeah funny enough i was also trying to call someone and that person just wouldn't pick up, so it was ringing all the time. then right when i had an outburst of road rage, yelling profanities at the random person in traffic who was pissing me off, the person i was calling incidentally picked up right that second.

No, I get irritated with a lot of the idiots I see on a daily basis but I cannot remember the last time I wanted to drag somebody out of the car and beat them to a pulp with the cutoff baseball bat I keep under the front seat.

Been the intended victim of it. November 21, 2022. Car shot out of a driveway and I had to brake hard. The clown behind me thought I was brake checking him and followed me, tailgating, till he was pulled over.

Sure many times and I almost lost it, it’s so hard to keep your cool and tell yourself that they’re just another asshole on the road that can’t drive
