I'm heading down to New Bern on Highway 70 and I have my niece in the car. We're just singing along (it's the only way I can calm her) so I'm singing who knows what, probably the song from the little mermaid where ariel is showing off her treasure trove. Anyways, the point is, we're driving along having fun and not bothering a soul.

When this huge truck clad in rebel flags and big wheels (just the stereotypical redneck) comes out and cuts me off, so I honked my horn. Just a little hey buddy honk, not a blaring fuck you honk or anything.

If you've ever driven the stretch of HWY 70 between Kinston and New Bern then you know how that roadway can be, there's nothing but trees around for miles and miles and the speedlimit is like 75. Anyways this guy went berserk! It was insane! He was throwing everything he could get his hands on at my car and onto the roadway. He was weaving, cutting me off, screaming at us. It was so terrifying. It was all I could do not to crash.

I cried like a little baby. When he finally took off, I tried to stabilize myself and just drive. I was so happy when I got to where I was going. It freaked me out for a long time.

Someone went flying through a red light at one of the streets that grosses Gorman one night after midnight, I was coming the other way, slammed on brakes, the person passed me probably with less than a foot to spare, they were hauling ass too.

I stomped it and chased them thinking I was going to catch up to a drunk and get them popped after they almost t-boned my car....they went behind some building trying to get away from me and ended up stuck at a loading dock with me behind. I get out yelling and shit thinking its some dude that is shitfaced...(like the van driver on trinity that time that took out all those people), it was an old busted ass car.

This black lady gets out that was middle aged, dressed like a mom, and starts apologizing instead of arguing back. She told me she was so sorry, she did not sound drunk, I felt like an asshole even though she really did almost cream the side of my car.

Knowing what I know now I would never do that again, probably a good way to get yourself shot, at that time of night it could have been somebody running from a robbery or some crazy shit.

48th post gets a page 2 as well

It's been so long that I've forgotten the details of the 440 beltline and 40...but it went something like this...

I was merging onto 440 from 40 somewhere around Wade Ave (I THINK that's how it went)...and as I was getting on I see this car about 100 yds in my rearview that is FLYING. In college I still had a leadfoot so I was going about 75/80...so this guy was definitely creeping up on 100.

He was still a bit behind me, so I get into the left lane (we're still at two lanes here...so we haven't reached the 3/4 lane part of 440 yet) to pass this really slow car in front of me. Turns out it's a row of about 5 cars, so it takes a few moments to get by them. I'm still going around 80 though, but this guy catches up to me and rides my ass BIG TIME until I pass the 5 cars and get into the right lane. As he's passing me, he flips me the bird.

I'm still young, immature, and a little pissed off at this point, but I'm not going to go 100+ to catch this fucker and exact my middle-finger-revenge. Luckily I didn't have to do that. Just ahead of me this guy gets stuck in the left lane behind some close cars and he's riding their ass as well. I end up passing him in the "slow" lane and am able to get in front of him in the left lane. Now I've got him boxed in in the left lane beside a line of slow cars in the right lane. I keep him here for the next couple of miles and he is FUCKING LIVID. I can see him making all kinds of obscene gestures in my rearview....he's flipping his shit...throwing stuff around in the car, swerving back and forth in his lane, continuing to ride my ass...etc. I pump my brakes a few times, he has to swerve to the shoulder a little bit...it was fun.

We finally get to where it's 3/4 lanes and he is able to get around me. He immediately gets directly in front of me and attempts to slam on his brakes and cause me to run off the road. I saw it coming, so it didn't affect me. He also tries to fling rocks on my car by swerving to the shoulder...that doesn't work. Last thing he did was try to throw his Big Gulp out the window and hit my car...he missed by like 10 feet. Then he sped off at about 110 mph.

I was already satisfied with how I handled the situation...yet I get the icing on the cake by seeing him pulled over 5 miles up right before I get off on the Six Forks exit to go to work. I was sooooo tempted to honk my horn, but didn't want to warrant any attention from the cop.

Twas lovely.

lol that reminds me of the time I cursed at this black woman in the parking lot of that dollar movie theater on blue ridge. It must of been back in 2002 or 2003 and for the first time in my life I wasn't going to act like a little pipsqueak. This woman in a van almost hit me in the parking lot, I was walking and she just didn't even care. So I yelled "Watch it you fat bitch!" and she got out of her car and and was like "what did you just call me?? Did you just call me a BLACK BITCH!?" and with all the seriousness I could muster I blurted out "NO! I called you a fat bitch!" while looking at her up and down.

Damn that woman hauled ass running after me. We ran straight back to the car and took off. lol my boyfriend at the time was pissed at me

9/13/2012 9:55:18 AM

^^ I would have pulled over and told the cops exactly what the asshole was doing before they caught him. let them add a little more pain to his situation. Throwing shit out the window and brake-checking people at 70mph is bullshit.

Then again, you were also brake-checking him, so F you.

Had a friend pull a gun on some dudes in a work truck while I was driving. I was like put that shit away before you get beat up by those construction workers. He was a pussy and carried a gun because he thought it made him cool.

I forgot I got minor road rage from a guy on a bicycle...and I totally saved his life!!! It was crazy!!!

I was at a red light, waiting for an opportunity to turn right. The cyclist was on the opposite side of the light, waiting for a green so he could turn left (into the same lane as me).

While I'm waiting, our light turns green so I now have the right-of-way. But the cyclist across the way starts pedaling like he's going to try to turn left and get in before me. When I saw the guy start to pedal, I stopped turning. When I stopped, he stopped and threw his arms up, "Go, bitch!" Our eyes met, and...

A huge truck ran the red light and just blew through the intersection between us--going like 60+ MPH. My jaw dropped, and the cyclist's jaw dropped, and we simultaneously said, "HOLY SHIT!" If I hadn't stupidly stopped, then the other guy would have pedaled right in behind me, and that truck would have totally changed our lives forever.

6/7/2016 2:55:27 PM

i had a dude hit me deliberately a few months ago.

Well, I guess he didn't exactly mean to hit me--he meant to change lanes into me at 82-83 mph to be a dick, thinking I'd move, especially since he had a big lifted F-150, and I was in a little Honda...I did not move an inch, though.

6/8/2016 12:26:34 AM

I had a Suburban (lifted on 30's, super tacky looking) cut me off on I-40 last Saturday. I was in the center lane, going 68 in a 60. Zero cars ahead of me. Fucking Suburban comes flying up in the left lane and then swerves into the center lane ahead of me, missing my front bumper by 3-5 feet. Again, there were no cars in front of either of us, in any lanes.

WTF

I was driving on a particularly dangerous roadway in Greenville when the truck in front of me started drifting into the oncoming lane (four-lane road with no turn-lane; hate those). I noticed another pick-up coming toward us, and sure enough, they smashed mirrors and did a pretty good amount of damage to the sides of both trucks. The truck going the other way turned around, and both trucks pulled into the same parking lot I had been headed for. I thought there would be a big fight, but they both got out, assessed the damage, and shrugged. I was surprised because men love their trucks. It was anticlimactic.

This was the same stretch of road where not long before, a deputy was driving with his arm hanging out the window and he got clipped in similar fashion, it severed his arm, and he died.

6/8/2016 11:20:50 AM

I live and work in a small town so it isn't unusual to see the same people frequently on the roads. This older white bitch that drives a red Porsche Cayman road rages almost every time I see her. She got behind me in the right lane a few weeks ago and was getting jammed up by cars in the left lane. She was riding my ass and mean mugging the people in the left. I ended up getting some space and I set me cruise and then bumped it up a few mph's. I saw her dart around a couple cars behind me and I knew I was going to end up cutting her off from cutting in front of me to get around the car in front of her if I didn't take cruise off. Fuck her. Sure enough, I cut her off and as I do it I look over and she's giving me the bird like I did it on purpose. When she gets a chance to go behind me to get around the car in the left she then whips it in front of me...brake checks me...then turns on her wiper fluid for like 10 seconds in front of me, spraying my car.

Yesterday, she got behind me and we were both held up by a slow poke in the left lane. Took us a few miles to get around him and she whipped it in front of that dude and did the same wiper fluid stunt on him. When she passed me I followed along behind her to see that she was doing 80 in a 55 down highway 70.

6/9/2016 8:53:35 AM

I accidentally cut a guy off the other day on the highway. Felt bad about it, started to feel apprehensive as he pulled up alongside me. It was an older guy, beard with tobacco stains visible even from my position, a truck that looked like it had been in demolition derbies.

He pulls up next to me, doesn't even look over. Just lifts his hand and gives me...a thumbs down.

It was brilliant and I intend to appropriate it as my new road rage manifestation.

passed you on the shoulder?

6/9/2016 2:25:03 PM

I came around a curve on a 2 lane road and a county public utilities work truck pulled out of the county fuel depot. He was headed the same direction as me and I had to get on the brakes a little, but not too bad. I started to get mad, but I thought about it and he was probably already committed to pulling out before he could've ever seen me. At the next light, I was going straight and he was turning left. He kinda lagged back in the left turn lane and when I got beside him he motioned for me to roll my window down. I rolled it down and he asked if he pulled out in front of me. Said he never saw me until I was right up on him in his mirror. I told him he kinda did, but it wasn't really his fault because he probably couldn't see me because of the curve anyway. He apologized several times and I assured him it wasn't a big deal.

Maybe it was just because he was in a government truck and was afraid I would complain, but it was refreshing to have someone act decent on the road.

I had one this morning. Dude was weaving back and forth between every other car and I had a feeling it was my turn soon. He was right next to me on the right lane. He cut me off so I honked and held it for about 10 or more seconds. Of course, flicked me off.

6/9/2016 9:20:04 PM

right, because you shouldn't have been in the left lane.

I had an incident this morning.

On my way to work, quite early right at 7 a.m., I came upon a green light at an intersection where you can clearly see oncoming traffic from all directions. This girl waiting to turn right decided she was going to go, and at the last minute decided better of turning right in front of me. By the time she made that decision, though, the nose of her car was in my lane, stopped. So I had to slam on brakes, check left, and swerve. By the time I completed the maneuver, I made eye contact with her and glared, cursing her under my breath, because that's all I had time to do.

A good distance forward, I see her change lanes to get behind me at the upcoming red light. She rode my ass and when I didn't react, she moved over in the left-turn lane and came up beside me, sat there, and honked. I slowly turned my head and gave her a long, blank stare, but no other reaction. She ended up just shaking her head and moving up, but when the light turned green, I could tell she was waiting for me to be beside her again.

Once I turned onto the side street to get to work, I was overcome with that nearly uncontrollable, white-hot, punch-someone-in-the-face rage. I'm still pissed.

Why do people almost cause an accident and treat you like YOU did something wrong?

I was behind a car doing exactly the speed limit in the "fast" lane going down I40E back to Raleigh from Greensboro. There was significant traffic, and I couldnt get past her in the right lane so I just rode behind her, hoping she'd speed up.

The woman behind me came flying up from out of nowhere, and then proceeded to tailgate me closer than anyone has ever tailgated me in my life (I'm talking a maximum of 6"-1' between her car and mine).

I brake checked her TWICE, and she still didnt back off. About a minute later the slow car was able to merge to the right, I passed the slow car then merged over to the right myself to let this dumb bitch pass me.

And then she flipped ME off. Fucking cunt. My wife saw the fire in my eyes, but was able to calm me down and keep me from killing that bitch.

7/5/2016 9:30:01 AM

i see shit almost daily commuting in and out of DC (people in prince george county are the fucking worst). like I can't count the number of times I've seen coffee or other drinks get thrown from one car at another. or people getting in passing wars in stop and go traffic, using breakdown lanes and merge lanes to try and get a car ahead when we're all doing about 3 mph when we're lucky

last week I had some bitch come up and start tailgating me when we were in said traffic, doing about 5-10mph as a group but never coming to a stop. as she kept getting closer, i threw my hands up in a "where the fuck do you want me to go?" gesture. as soon as she could, she got in the right lane so she could pass me and give me the finger.

needless to say, about 90 seconds later, my lane was passing hers and I just stared at her with a deadpan "really good fucking job" look on my face. it's about all I can muster these days.

7/5/2016 1:20:50 PM

I had an interesting encounter a few weekends ago with a "typical" BMW driver. Was around 10pm on a Friday night and I was driving along 540 from a cookout in Morrisville to a party in North Raleigh. When I merged onto 540 (2 lanes merging) I passed a BMW on the right. He was going a fair bit slower than me and I wasn't going more than 73-74. I didn't think much of it. I'd had a few beers at the cookout so I was cruising along just over the speed limit with my cruise control engaged. The BMW came flying up on my butt with his high beams on, then whizzed past me in the left lane (I was in center lane). My immediate thought was "okay good for you". Then a few minutes later he slowed down noticeably. Again, I was using the cruise control. So I got in the left lane and proceeded to pass him. Except, the BMW sped up and matched my speed. This continued for a good 10-15 seconds and really got on my nerves so I just pushed the pedal down, got up to about 85 mph and completed the pass. Naturally the BMW sped up to go faster than me and flew by in the left lane again.

WTF Well done, your car is clearly faster than my Cayman. It's amazing how different cars affect the behavior of other drivers. I highly doubt this jackass would have done this had I been driving my Acura. (of course then I'd have clapped out Civics trying to race me )

lol i had some moron fly up behind me last night when i was driving into town. 2 lane road, 55 mph speed limit. I'm probably going 60 (there's a shit ton of deer around, no way in hell am i gonna fly down the road) and this dude has to be going at least 80-85. keeps his high beams on all the way from before i can see him behind me until i can no longer see his headlights because he is riding my bumper. i slowed down to about 50 because fuck that dude. when we get to a place he can legally pass, he does so and i proceed to keep my brights on, because again, fuck that dude.

i caught up with him in a couple miles because he got stuck behind a slow semi. fucker.
