Anybody ever got into a fight while in traffic? Me and this guy almost threw down today, while in traffic. I was in Westwood today on Wilshire and got caught behind a shuttle. The shuttle stopped to let somebody off and I decided to switch lanes. I saw some space to work with in the lane next to me, so I signaled, went partially in the next lane, and then returned to my lane. Then some dude honked and I knew he was going to mad dawg me. So I launched a premptive bird towards him and held it there for his viewing pleasure for the complete duration of his evil eye. So of course he's cussing and giving me a piece of his mind. At some time he started taking off his seat belt and looked like he was going to come out to do something. That's when I thought man I wish I had my bat with me. The dude was definitely bigger than me. He's this big fat guy driving a Camry. All I know is that if he comes at me, I'm going to kick his package as hard as I can if he tries something. However, he finally got tired of looking at my bird and eventually turned around. The whole time I'm thinking," whats the big deal?" The light is red; I signaled; I had like 5 feet to spare between him and me; I wasn't even moving faster than like 10 to 15 mph. Okay guys, I'm sure I'm not the only person who experienced this type of road rage. Anybody else?

 

I've had people follow me and yelling and screaming, all upset. DUDE, I'm half asian. Get over it.

Oh well they do what they do.

 

All I gotta say is be careful folks...It's pretty crazy out there. Check out this story in Sacto where this dude smoked a guy in a road rage incident then killed himself after two weeks on the same exact spot where he shot the other guy.

That's scarey. People are so crazy.

Here is an excerpt from my previous thread on this issue

Allright before anyone wants to pass the judgement let me start off with a little defense. ( actually pass it anyway )I am for the most part a peacefull guy.
Although I do like good violence in my movies. I spend about 5 hours a day in my car. and do about 55,000 km year.

So funny enough a day or two after Gregs poll I again get invloved in some lunatics excuse for driving. I personally think it's my duty to make sure someone
knows when thier an idiot. This guys comes flying up my right on the unpaved shoulder and when his back bumper is maybe an inch past my front he swerves
infront of me. I hammer the brakes and my horn, and the guy, if you can believe it gives me the finger. Ofcourse I'm swearing my head off, giving the finger back
but still leave a good distance between us. Just as I'm calming down he slams the brakes on and I come damn close to hitting him. ( the brakes on my new Accord are not what they should be) so now I'm cooking. We come up to a light with lots of traffic and he get out, runs to my window yelling "I'm gonna ****ing Kill You" My first reaction was "oh Shit, I'm dead" after the rush wears a little I notice he is some little greseball runt. He damands I get out of the car and settle it like a man. Against my better judgement I do. ( I still regret this action, really, really stupid ) He took a swing at me ( which seemed like slow motion? ) and I step
back. As I'm starting to come back forward I lay him right on the button. Break his nose and blood is everywhere. He goes to the ground and by this time quite a crowd has gathered around us. He got up to alot of despariging remarks from the onlookers. At least the ones who had seen what transpired. He went back to his car and took off. someone got his licence plate number for me, and I got a few phone numbers incase this turns around on me.

So the moral I guess is that I will keep my mouth and my anger inside next time this happens. I killed the rest of the day, waiting in doctors offices doing blood tests and such, since I split my knuckle and it was just a shitty day alround. "

 

More madness. It's nuts!

 

i once saw two guys having a fist fight on the side of the highway..it was funny as hell....people need to learn patience....LOL

 

I've witnessed stuff, but I just leave. I know that things can get ugly and you could be drawn in.
