r/RoadRage

I think we can all agree that people with testosterone/alcohol fueled road rage deserve to be thrown off guard.

I was driving taking a right off stickney onto Tamiami when a jeep flies through his left turn across from me and intentionally weaves and near misses my car(all other lanes open).. speeding up to a red light lol. So I honk because I have free will.

He decides to pull up next to me and start yelling saying how bad of a driver I am. He’s furious, veins sticking out of his forehead. I smile, hold a peace sign up to my face, and start flicking my tongue in and out. Giving him heart signs, and blowing kisses :) (27m straight lol) this goes on for a solid 30 seconds. He then starts yelling homophobic slurs at me so I smile, wiggle my finger, point, and say “no you 🥰” He gave up, flipped me off and sped away.

One of these days I may put myself in a bad situation but man do I love throwing road ragers for a loop.

J E S U S christ. I drove home from Georgia today, all the way up 75 north bound. It’s as if people push the start button or turn the ignition and lose every brain cell.

Look, it’s 4th of July, we’re all trying to get home. And yeah, cops are everywhere. But there are a few stretches in Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky that you wanna take advantage of.

I was doing about 80-85mph in the high speed lane near Lexington, KY, legitimately moving with traffic. The fast lane was moving. Obviously, being in a large SUV myself I allowed distance from the SUV in front of me just in case. And god damn, I’m glad I did. The expedition in the middle lane behind the camper decided to just scootch on in doing 60mph. I was inches away from that rear bumper, and the truck behind me was nearly in the backseat. Dropping 20mph on a dime doesn’t work like that. And no, your shitty blue expedition fully loaded doesn’t just go 60 to 80 by pressing the gas.

Also thank you for the middle finger. May your karma find you quickly today.

Alright so where to start. A few weeks ago as I was driving to work I saw in my rearview mirror about a quarter of a mile back this lifted Chevy Silverado with amber lights in the grill swerving around cars in the middle of traffic, there was a fork in the road coming up so I waited until it was safe to go around the car in front of me and maneuvered around said car just so the truck driver would not be right behind me in the fork. The cars in front of me started to slow down so I braked to slow my speed so I could keep decent following distance and match their speed but I was not aware that said chevy was basically kissing my bumper as I was trying to pay attention to the drivers in front of me, I look up in my rearview mirror and see the truck driver driving dangerously close to me. As soon as the road opened back up to four lanes I moved myself over to the far right lane and noticed the pickup truck aggressively followed me into that lane. I sped up and then he sped up. Every single lane I went into he followed me aggressively, I was unable to call police because I was trying to avoid hitting others as well as trying to find an escape. I went to try to exit but noticed him following me onto the exit so I got back into traffic and went to take the next exit, I was going maybe 50mph towards the exit and we'll just say my car is no more after that. I'm so pissed off because I put so much work into that car and I had just gotten the hood wrapped not even two months prior, dude got pissed off at me for no fucking reason other than he was an impatient asshole. I genuinely do not understand these drivers, is their ego that fragile that they feel the need to try and kill others just because they're impatient.

I’ve noticed that large tractor trailers are almost always driving in the fast lane on my commutes, despite failing to hit the speed limit or keep up with traffic generally.

Is this a new safety strategy they are teaching? Is it because there are more trucks than ever on the highways and you guys know that at least half of them are going like 20 mph less than the speed limit?

Today morning at 7 am a guy on Land Rover driving behind me overtake and did a brake check and show middle finger for no reason . I am not too slow or too fast crazy idot🤦‍♂️

Flashed my lights at a driver who had his rear lights out he pulls in so do I and he gets out his car ready to fight me . What a weirdo . Happened in Texas so glad it didn’t escalate any further just trying to help someone out :/
