Default Road rage

Hey guys. I just wondered what your experience with road rage is. Here in the south, (Georgia) there's tons of it. For example, back in March I was driving home from getting my 09 Toyota Yaris taken in for it's first service, some guy in a big black Dodge Ram is tailgating me the whole way home, so then he does an illegal pass on a small country lane (bear in mind, i'm doing the speed limit which was 45) so as he flips me off as he passes me, I honk my horn and flash my lights at him as if to say "Man, you're an arse". So then he proceeds to look in the mirror and give me a "Yeah, i'm in front, whatcha going to do about it" look, and he tries to wave his hand as if to get me to come along side him or pass him, then takes out a gun and mouths some kind of words like "Yeah, what now." So I was about 30 seconds away from home anyway, so I just pulled in my subdivision and drove home, besides i'm not having him shoot up my car.

I gotta say though, having a gun pulled on you for something illegal he did in the first place really drives you up the wall. XD
...Though I was a bit more worried about my car though, especially since I just got it serviced, i'm sure you guys can relate to that.

Anyway, what's your experience(s) with road rage?
Btw, sorry if this is a repost, I didn't find any other posts like this.

I'm a gun owner and I will not defend this retard, you should have dialed 911 on his ass and just kept following him at a distance until the po po arrived.

I agree absolutely. The family of the guy he murders a month from now would have been grateful.

Your problem is geography. Georgia is known for a lot of things but a healthy gene pool is not one of them. Combine some redneck hillbilly who probably barely made it out of high school with a pickup truck, a handgun, and some Budweiser along with regrets over repeated poor life choices and you get a disaster waiting to happen. That guy probably doesn't feel a lot of control in his life. Hence the big gun and the big truck to make him feel like a big man. Bubba will no doubt assert his manhood at the trailer park where the mother of his two children lives every Saturday night. One night, Jolene will get tired of the beatings and when Bubba passes out after his 4th six pack, she will take the handgun from his truck and that'll be "the night that the lights went out in Georgia".
