I had an incident in a PARKING LOT, last night after leaving the Grocery store, and eventually had to call 911, because this crazy was blocking the driveway, and was out of his car in the driveway. (I think he had his mother with him, or his child, and I'm sure they were very proud of him for the great example he set)
If you have an altercation while driving, how do you handle it, call 911, get in a fist fight, or try to drive away (if you can)
California Highway Patrol said that many horrific accidents we see are the result of road rage.
At a kid in Ohio, the Highway Safety Association was showing video on TV showing the 'adults' turning into 'spoiled children" behind the wheel. and what the consequences were.
Not a new problem.

I can be petty sometimes, but real road rage is just stressful for all parties. I’m not surprised if they are indeed on the rise.
Yesterday, I slowed down to a stop sign. There was a Toyota in front of me who just stalled at the sign despite there being no traffic. I honked and they threw their hands up but didn’t move. I had no choice but to maneuver around them and get in the parallel lane for traffic heading outwards. Idiots. I swear they continued to not move because I honked. Probably drunk or something.
I also seem to have people tailgate me all the time even if I’m well over the speed limit and moving with the flow of traffic. Admittedly, I sometimes retaliate by matching my speed with the vehicle in the lane next to me to inconvenience them and prevent them from cutting me off.
Tailgate-ing here is a major problem, and one that I have the biggest problem with. Can be serious, and I carry 'pepper Gel for the morons and have only sprayed on guy, but too late in that he had damaged my Tesla by hitting the outside rear view mirror after we were both out of the cars.
Stupid on my part, as I should have just driven away!
