What's your best story about Road Rage?

Back in high school we were driving to our favorite spot to skateboard in downtown Eugene around 10pm on a Friday night. So we were about 12 blocks from our destination and at a light these hicks in a big truck pull up next to us and ask if we can get them weed. Joe yells out the window something like “Fuck off hicks”.

They were not pleased and we get in a high speed thing through the streets. And when we came to lights they were doing shit like getting out and hitting our windows.

Then we think that the police station is only a few blocks away and there is a place under the cop-shop where all the cop cars are parked. So we just drive down there and the idiots follow us. There were some cops so we were stopped and so were the people chasing us.

We were detained for a bit but it was obvious we were being chased. As the cops told us to move on the cop mentioned a few of them had warrants and there were some guns in their truck.

No such thing as a best story about road rage.

Going to agree with @Cruiser on this one most people (not all) get extra stupid when behind the wheel , when some idiot blows a gasket at me I usually blow em a kiss you should see the look on their face when I do that, then I proceed to just ignore them and most time they just calm down and go away.

Visiting GF in Tampa Florida.

Stuck in typically awful peak hour traffic on Dale Mabry highway.

Car in front of me nearly rear ends pickup ahead.

Driver door to pickup opens, lean, middle aged blue collar type steps out holding small bank deposit bag.

Man walks back toward the car in front of me.

Man opens bank bag and produces pistol.

Man shouts at driver and waves pistol around open driver’s window.

Man then aims pistol at drivers head through open window.

Driver leans as far away from pistol and raises hands.

Aiming and shouting continues.

I fear that if the worst happens I’m to be killed as a witness.

I begin taking deep breaths.

Aiming and shouting stops, man returns to truck and drives away.

I was riding on the road. There were two people riding in front of me. Suddenly, for some reason, the motorbike on the left hit the one on the right, sending the two people on it flying out of their bike. I was riding a bit fast, and when they hit the road, they and the motorbike lay right in my way and I was just several inches away from them. I only had a second to react, and somehow I managed to make a round turn and pass the two people without even touching them. To this day I still don’t know how I did that.

@Mimishu1995 You got great road skills, dude! ;-D

I actually do have a good road rage story.

I was on a crowded expressway and my horn malfunctioned. It turned on with a constant “BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…”!!

Mashing on the steering wheel did not stop it. There was nothing I could do but drive on.

EVERY driver within earshot thought I was honking at them. Car after car pulled alongside with people giving me the finger and shaking their fists in anger.

After a few miles I took the first exit, drove up the ramp and into a gas station. A car followed and stopped 5 feet away just as I popped the hood and emerged.

He rolled down his window with a mad face for about half a second. Then he realized what was happening and started laughing. I laughed too and yanked a wire, cutting the horn.

We both got some gas, waved to each other and got back on the highway.

@Call_Me_Jay lol THAT is a great and hilarious story! :D

@Cruiser You’ve been at the spot I bet, it was the I-90 Des Plaines Oasis gas station. I just Googled it and was sad to see it was removed a couple of years ago. For a lot of out-of-staters the Oases are the most memorable things about Illinois.

@Call_Me_Jay I used to drive under that every day for a couple years got gas and grub there many times. Now your story really comes to life! Still laughing!

I had a guy pretend to pull on a gun on me, after I told him “you’re old, what are you gonna do”?

I probably would have laid down in the seat, @SecondHandStoke. Playing ostrich has saved my butt more than once.

I know you were a crazy kid, @johnpowell, but that had to have scared the piss out of you. Was your driver good? Worse if you all were screaming at your driver, too.

I have amazing reflexes too, @Mimishu1995, when stressed. Someone recently called that ‘a bit of ninja’. :-) Good for you!

I probably would have followed you off the highway to see if you needed any help, @Call_Me_Jay. Seems like horns used to stick fairly routinely. Was this a while back?

I usually smile and wave, @SQUEEKY2.
