Yeah, I should have called the cops, but I didn't think that A: I would have enough proof to convict him of any wrong doings. And B: I was pretty freaked out/pissed off about the whole situation and was really just concerned about getting myself and my car back home in one piece. And C: IF he stopped in the road or stopped where I had to go around him, I really didn't want to be waiting until the cops arived while he make me his next choice of target practice, I don't know how long it would take for the police to arive, especially since we would be constantly moving...I hope. XD I really didn't want him in back of me again, since if i'm behind him, it makes me all the more harder to shoot.
I just wonder what he would have done if I had shown him something that looks like a gun back at him, since I don't own a gun but I do costumes and some of the props look exactly like real guns. My co-worker K.C. said he keeps a .45 in his truck (he doesn't drive a big "I need to feel important" truck though, it's a little Ford Ranger) and he said he would have just flashed his .45 at him if that happened.
But I dunno if that would get you in trouble or not, I mean if the other guy pulls a gun on you first...technically aren't you protecting yourself?
And by the way, I had some guy blow a kiss at me. I was more confused then anything. XD Personally, I think he did it because he thought I was a girl, I have really long hair.

Surprised no one stated the obvious. So here goes. Your driving a yaris 
sorry but they make me 
Anyhow the guy is driving a big ole pick em up truck on a back road in Georgia 
He is glued to your ass Your on a back road Your putting along in a perceivably slow ass car on a back road just doing the speed limit with a big ass truck on your ass you know wants to get past you.
Why the hell did"nt you just let him go past without aggravating the shit out of him by having him follow you for a while on your bumper nonetheless? You gotta know your pissing him off. Now I did"nt say you did anything wrong your not but sometimes its better to just let those drivers get away from you.
In my experience if you just let those types of drivers get away from you by either pulling over and letting them pass or speeding up until you get separation between you problem solved.
Sorry if this is not popular opinion but it may just save your ass someday as these drivers are every wheres and the next time he may just pull that gun and shoot thru his windshield. Like someone posted above the gene pool can be
Best thing one can do is just get away from these types and report them later when your safe.
Do'nt prod them on by flashing your lights and honking your horn! Cmon WTF!
All your doing is taking an irritated person with 2 big weapons "truck and gun" and possibly small brain and really pissing them off! Sometimes by being the smaller man your the bigger man in the end and quite possibly still alive!

But still, you're right. I should have just let him go, which is probably what i'll do next time. To be fair though, it's hard to just let him go and not at least honk at him when he's been bugging you the whole time by riding your ass. It's kind of like that kid who would stand behind you in a line at school and keep poking you in the back until you turned around and slugged him.
Still, that doesn't justify what I did to aggravate him. And yeah, you're right. Lesson learned I guess.

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.
