My question to those of you who speed up to not let others into the lane when there is nowhere to go, why do you do it?

Those of you that do this, know who you are. When there is no where to go but you speed up so that the person can’t get into the lane even though you can’t go anywhere due to the car in front of you, why do you do it? I can’t understand your thought process. You’re not going any faster and that person is going to move to the next lane after moving into your lane, why do you speed up to not allow it? I really want to know.

Shaken and scared

I was riding my bike around 8:30 pm on 18 Aug in shivbasvanagar and there was a guy who literally blocked a whole lane with his maruti 800, so passing by i cursed age karlo(used a bad word)
After then i went on, but stopped to buy cig in a km
They came chasing me, the guy came out(4 of them) and slapped and beat me like hell
I am wrong and i fully accept it, but the reaction maybe even if as a lesson has shook me
I stood their allowing him to beat me until the crowd managed him, even despite that he was barging

I dont feel safe to proceed with any legal action as i live alone in the city and the guy who beat me up literally said “bahar ke log ake zyada bante”. So cops are definitely not safe area to me.

Maybe the fate and action have quick reaction here

Idk i am shook rn and crying(i know i am at fault)

Hurt this jeep’s feelings

Photo taken from my dash cam

Was just driving behind this jeep for not even 10 seconds and he decides to brake check me. No i wasnt tailgating or trying to pass. I was literally just cruising behind, same as he was to the car in front of him.

He tries to brake checks me, gasses it, and swerves side to side in between the two lanes behind the car in front of him. I catch up and he brake checks me again.

Maybe try not take offense to everything and grow up? Not everyone is after you. We’re all trying to get from point A to B. Next time, why not man up and actually commit to a full brake check? Your little taps didnt inconvenience me because I wasn’t even tailgating. All it did was jerk your lego car and make you look stupid.

Stop being a hazard and learn to drive. Also, grow up. Thanks!

What’s the best way to react to road rage ?

Earlier this week another driver was unhappy with me because I braked suddenly although he was driving right up my ass. He decided to swerve around behind me raging. Stopped once and tried to get out to confront me but the traffic started moving. Eventually he decided to cut in front of me and stop. He got out and came towards my car. I wasn’t sure if he had a weapon or anything so I had to do an illegal move to escape but he did kick my car as I was moving which left a dent. What is correct way to handle these situations? The police say I did the right thing

I had to create this post

If anyone know this dumbass car. they are driving careless and backing up into me during heavy stop and go traffic. to try to get into car crashes during traffic time. I have them recorded. They just tried to speed off. There's literally stopped traffic. It's so bad I made this post waiting. So not sure why they're acting like a dick head If anything they will probably be in a car wreck soon. Hopefully and get their license taken away

Crosswalks in roundabouts are a complete safety hazard.

When I’m in a roundabout I am watching for two things, is it clear and is a car about to pull out in front of me, I’m not really looking for a pedestrian walking across it. Yes if I hit one I’d be at fault but like come on dude there is already to much going on and I’m about to stop in the middle of the roundabout which you aren’t even meant to do.

A woman threw rocks at my face because I honked at her.

I was getting off the exit from route 280 to the parkway and like usual, there were tons of cars stopped or slowing down right before the toll. I honked at them, and went around them. Went through the toll and went to the parkway, wasn’t even thinking about them.

I’m in the second to left lane and I see two of the cars (a gray SUV and a black Highlander) catch up to me in the left lane with a 12 year old flipping me off and calling me names in the front seat. I try speeding off to get in front of them and their car keeps edging into my lane to try and hit me.

Finally I get into the left lane and the gray SUV is in front of me and the Highlander is on my right and the gray SUV is slowing down so much in the left lane that I’m sandwiched in with another other car behind me and these two women on the front and side. I tried to pass them on the shoulder of the left lane because they wouldn’t let me out. All the meanwhile I’m getting flipped off and called every name in the book.

Finally i find an opening and I get off at my exit, #138. They pull the jersey slide across 4 lanes and follow me. I pull over to the side to call 911 as they boxed me in again. After I showed them my phone calling 911 they both pulled away.

This is where I messed up. I followed them for 2 blocks to get their license plates. They pulled over to the side of chestnut street and gestured for me to. I pull my car over to the side with them and did not get out when we were exchanging words.

That’s when she starts throwing rocks at my car. She picked up larger and larger handfuls and struck me in the face. All of her daughters were around her filming and saying “I wish you would” and stupid verbiage like that.

The Mom threw the handful of rocks at my face and I got out of the car and reacted. I don’t really remember what I did but her daughters got in the way and I’m not catching charges for hitting a minor.

This was absolutely ridiculous.

Bay Area 280 S - Guy brake checked me then swerved into my lane when I tried to pass. Still shocking

Had a pretty scary road rage encounter today on 280S and want to sanity check if I handled it right.

A car cut into my lane without signaling, I flashed lights to let him know I was there. He then brake checked me hard and started driving slow to block me.

I decided to disengage, let off gas and changed to right lane to pass. While I was passing, he swerved feinted directly into my lane like he was going to hit me, then swerved back. Felt 100% intentional and like he wanted to cause a crash.

I just let off gas again and let him go. No contact, no one hurt, but I'm still shocked that someone would do a brake check + swerve feint combo on a highway at 70+mph.

His car looked pretty beat up and most likely uninsured, which is why I didn't want to engage at all. Happy people yield, right?

For those with dashcams - any recommendations for a good front/rear setup? And is it worth filing a CHP report with no footage?
