Almost victim of road rage today....

[shadymcgrady]

Bursting out in aggression may seem desirable but has anyone here even been in a scrap lately?

I went a few times this past summer to boxing gym converted mma and if you're not in shape, you'll be suckling wind and barely able to stand after the first 90 seconds, angry or not.

The bigger you are the worse it is bc that means more oxygen needs to be delivered to the muscles

[ikid2groove415]

I once got a gun pointed at me on the freeway !! Crazy society we live in

[Shute]

Agree shady
However adrenaline is a an awesome fuel

[JIBBBY]

No one fights anymore these days, people just draw guns like cowards

Yup.. MMA obsolete... Guns are the true equalizer for anyone against anyone... Sad.. Like the old wild wild west days again but with a different twist and a little less class to it....

Seems like there are more semis than cars on the road now

there ARE more semi trucks and the public is vastly uneducated about the service they provide, and how to share the road / drive around trucks

Everything you buy comes in a truck for some distance. Even your Amazon deliveries. Or in store.

"If you bought it, a truck brought it."

so if you don't like trucks, try never buying anything...that will stop them

[jjgold]

never get into confrontations in a car or anywhere else in life

Too many angry nuts out there who are sikkos

[Shute]

Got no problem with truck drivers
Truck drivers are the best drivers on the road without question
Just saying that the traffic congestion is unreal now
More trucks, more stupid drivers, I’m going to retire in a walking, biking and mass transit community

Especially if they are little people and teens.. They are being bold and agro for a reason most of the time... Packing.....

I have a 54 caliber carry gun but do use it anymore.

I have it in a gun store on display

I have a .357 magnum S&W locked and loaded, not shy to use it anymore since I've already experienced an in home robbery.. Jibbby don't play that.. You wake me up in my home at night with a broken window I'm coming out firing...

I'll repent later for taking a human life if it ever happens... Hope it never happens though.. Thou shall not kill outside of the battle field still holds true to my heart...

Car jacking several miles down the way
Great area
Guy just was trying to get away
Got shot by an off duty police officer
This is common occurrence these days
Can’t believe it

Believe it.. We got hoods full of illegal Mexicans and Black thugs, they have no morals and are desperate for cash and have only one thing on their minds.. They will venture out of the hoods too...

Welcome to Planet Earth!!!

Daaaa.. Need more law and order, need more jobs, need to go to church and know right from wrong as youths.... Need to build more jails if you don't.... America ain't Disneyland anymore...

Trump on the right path with keeping order and peace and that's why I voted for him and not because I liked him.. MAGA!!! Best man for the job!!!!

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

I almost purposely hit a taxi today because the driver was an absolute tool but then figured I didn't want to waste my bloody time dealing with the hassle of the insurance company. I'm seriously regretting it now though after this thread... guy was a friggen menace and now I'm all fired up again!!

I would have loved to have seen that if you did..bahaha

This is how native Americans felt when the inbred thugs came over in plague infested ships and turned a beautiful land into a polluted shithole

Violent crime is pretty low as compared to history. Up slightly recently, but not like 80-90s level. Pretty much the safest time in the entire history of humanity.

[Shute]

Actually, violent crime is at its lowest point in history

Thanks waterspub
Don’t believe the hype

Caught me before the edit. I looked for a more recent chart. Up slightly since 2003, but nothing close to the 70's. Can't post fake news on SBR.

Fake news. Injuns were complete uneducated savages. Scalp ya as soon as look at you.

We we fought them and took the land. That’s how war works.

Sharpen up Mayan

[Shute]

All good
I hate data and research
I go with my gut

Oh and them illegal immigrants used violence to take away land..now they cry... lol it never ends

[kidcudi92]

I have a lot of stress in my life.

Sometimes I hope someone will give me a reason to legally kick the shit out of them.

Anytime somebody has started to get ragey on the road with me, I am ready to go, but they puss out and take off.

When JJBald comes to Indy


I know all the valets at Elmo


We can get away easy

Indians were not advancing and were taking up to much land and they had to go... White man had to take over and advance.. Bow and arrows and T-Pees just weren't cutting it back in the day.. Civilization had to rise up and so did technology..

I sure like a modern home, car and computer these days and I'd rather go to the grocery store then hunt for a meal also.. Sorry Indians... Weak get slaughtered...

[HurryUpAndDrink]

I almost stab a guy on a bike that almost ran me over... I understand the feeling

[Auto Donk]

next time, try unlocking the door and exiting the goddam vehicle.....

[Auto Donk]

good technique.....

[JIBBBY]

This is how you handle road rage. ... Knock one guy out then choke the other out...

[semibluff]

Today I was driving on a 2 lane carriageway with a speed limit of 70mph. I'm in the slow lane driving at 56mph on cruise control. There's traffic flying past me in the fast lane. There's 300 yards of empty carriageway ahead of me and 300 yards of empty carriageway behind me. The stupid bitch in the 100yard long acceleration lane, (joining/on-ramp), trying to join the carriageway can't join the carriageway either ahead of me or behind me? She has to try and join at the exact same spot as my 1 car length.
...and it's my fault?
Seriously?
If you sit 1.5 car lengths behind other cars in a string of 8 cars that are trying to join a dual-carriageway/motorway/freeway then this is for you: you're a f***ing moron who shouldn't be driving! Back the f*** up and give yourself at least 5 car lengths of room to the vehicle in front. Now you can more easily adjust your speed to enter into a gap. It'll help stop you from driving into an avoidable accident.

Road rage be like -

supposed to be within 5-10 mph of the limit....what you were driving at is illegal here in the USA, not sure where youre from

if youre scared to drive on a highway, get the fukk off the highway...

If that was the law here I would be obeying that law. The road in question today has a 70mph maximum limit for cars and a 50mph limit for heavy goods vehicles. There is no minimum speed limit for anything other than motorways, (minimum 30mph) and this was not a motorway. Agricultural vehicles can, and do, drive on the road in question at 20mph. The maximum speed for 42 ton articulated lorries on any UK road is 56mph and since that's what i'm driving most of the time so I don't normal bother flying around. Certainly not an issue of being scared. This is an issue of a stream of vehicles attempting to join a road with a 70mph maximum limit at significantly less than the speed of the traffic already on that road. The traffic already on the road has right of way NOT the vehicles joining the road.

In your US example the equivalent would be you driving at 67mph on a road with a 70mph limit where you have the right of way and a string of cars deciding they can just push in at 50mph...and then blaming you for not stopping to let them all in.

[hotcross]

exactly correct

seems many are unaware of this. How can the problem be corrected? Need better driver education and/or being more selective about granting driver's licenses
