Report the matter to the police? Does that involve getting involved with the crime? Conflicting messages. If push comes to shove and it winds up on crime stoppers and there is a reward, then I might think about it. If I ever witness something like it. Could use the dough. They just raised my taxes. Need incentive, you know.
My thought is if you can not control your temper then you probably shouldn't be driving either.
Yes there are some ding dongs, and yoyo's out there but that is no excuse for violence. Pull over and go for a walk or have a coffee or just breath deep....
dont get your hopes up harbinger, they dont lay charges incases on consensual fights. Nor do they for third party reports of erratic driving!
Hmmmmmm was one of them an elderly person who had been driving for a couple of miles with the blinker on? J/K!
Common: vehicle driving along in R/H lane, minding own business, obeying speed limit "within reason". In rearview mirror witnesses a vehicle approaching very rapidly behind, vehicle gets close enough to almost sit on bumper of first said vehicle, then in a rapid motion jerks over to L/H lane, immediately accelerates, passes first vehicle by inches before swerving rapidly back into R/H lane, proceeds about 2 seconds, flicks on right turn blinker, hits brakes, and turns right.

I would love to be able to chase this idiot down and smack him around until my "road rage" subsides.....but.....sigh, I just thank myself for the new brakes I had installed. LOL.....
Easy to say, gofaster, but there are a lot of people out there who must be late for something, because they drive like they are i+ a hurry. The thing that I do not understand is the aggression and anger. Maybe
those emotions fade as we mature, I know those idjits used to make me angry, now I look out for them, and anticipate their next dumb move, and that way usually avoid the confrontational situations. Now, not signalling a turn, that gets me going. The old folks don't bother me, you have to give them more room and more time, and most of all show them the respect they in most cases deserve. They have put their time in on this earth, and I'd say most of them show more courtesy to others than your average younger person.
metalman.
I just got back to PG after being out of town for 3 days.
I yesterday had to follow an idiot on a stretch of bare/dry pavement, in mid afternoon, sun shining, that drove 45kms/hr in a 80km/hr stretch.
I bet i followed this moron for at least 6 or 7 kms before i could safely pass.
I stayed reasonably calm, but it sure was hard to not lay on the horn and flip him the finger I tell ya.
If you have no idea how to drive, stay off the damn roads people.
I hear that whynotyou...omg! I think that driver did the same thing to me. I was livid..I did experience a little road rage.. ..and Mcfly..that finger sometimes helps to quash the road rage..hehe!
