Road Rage

[DJD]

I don't agree with road rage but I can see why it happens. First off you were a little at fault here. The left lane is for passing, the right laneis for driving in. Even if your going 100mph in the left lane and somebody comes up on you it your your responsibility to get over to the right lane. I hate people that just stay in the left lane and drive there no matter what. People that don't get over should get a ticket and yes they can get one.

No doubt I should have moved over but I had to show him who had the bigger uhh rod??

Seriously man I would have and do all the time but the light show with the high beams translated into "I'm soooo important that you Sir shall move out of my way and let me speed past you" even though he could have just pulled into the right lane and passed me with no obstructions. Trust me, I'm totally understanding that I was already breaking the law and prolly would have been better in the right lane anyway.

No biggie I'm sure he has a good story to tell his boyfriend.

So, what would you have done if he had a GLOCK instead of a middle finger. I mean REALLY??

I've been there, also DONE that.......so I understand your point, but Man, oh man, with so many crazy ass fools out there, it simply is not worth my time or the risk to my life to screw with someone on the road.

Another thing. I have a buddy that did just what you did......followed the guy for 5-10 miles. GUESS WHAT.......he ended up in JAIL......and it cost him dearly.

Not saying it is right or wrong, but definitely not worth it.

Later,

Totally understand what your saying. Im not in the habit of trying to tick folks off while driving but I was going with my instincts. I'm glad it worked out.

Usually when someone does me like that...I check out my seatbelt, stuff in the cab, see what might get tosses around and where...THEN stand on the brakes...... and pop them the bird. It does 2 things...IT GETS THEIR attention. They know by me popping them the bird I have watched Cool Hand Luke once or twice in my life...

And I have done this. Last time was Friday when I was driving back from Maysville on 68. Lady in a Chevy GTrailblazer was on my butt..Couldn't see here tailights she was so close. I speed up she'd do the same. I was actually on the phone with UpaCrick at the time. I told him to hold on, done my in cab prelaunch checklist, and then stood baby blue on it's nose...Once she picked up all her crap out of the floorboard and I know she was looking at me again I told her she was number one.,,,

Well I guess once wasn't enough for this bitch,,,Now granted if the oncoming traffic was so bad I would've let her around, but it was. And we had caught a long line of traffic up ahead so she couldn't pass me anyway. BUT<<<<she decided to ride my bumper again...JUst before we got to Millersburg there was a curve, I looked back, no tail lights...
This time I about planted my front bumper in the pavement....showed her she was numero uno again.....

She backed off to a safe distance all the way to Paris.....

Did I was this woman to wreck....YES! A good ditch line and a few mail boxes may have taught her to quit driving like Robby Gorden on a 5th of Beam. I'd rather her hit the ditch that pull out across the center line and plow some innocent sole head-on...

Tailgate me,,,that's what happens....

I don't know if this fits into the category of road rage or not...but no sooner than the air temperature hits 60 degree's it seems like there are plenty of bozo's out there who need to crank the bass on their stereo's...had one yesterday right beside me rattlin' my rib cage while I was at a stop light. One of these days someone's gonna go off on one of these deaf and dumb idiots.

A couple of years ago on North Broadway in Georgetown I scared the living crap out of a lady. I was coming from downtown heading back to the house over behind Krogers. I was easily going more than the speed limit, I always do ( 4 speeding tickets while pulling the boat alone). This lady was behind me, guns it around me, then switches back lanes in front of me and slams on the brakes due to the red light. She had no reason to switch lanes and I had just left the bait and tackle shop out North Broadway next to Elkhorn and was on my way to hook her up and head to Ky Lake. All my stuff in the seat went flying in the floor and needless to say I was PISSED!!!. The light turned green and I gunned the V-8 in my Explorer versus her 4 cylinder Saturn sped up, whipped it around her right before you get to the car wash, then whipped it over in her lane and slammed on my brakes just enough so she would see the bright reds, then let off and she locked it up and did a complete 270 degree donut on DRY PAVEMENT. Her car was sitting in the middle of the road facing Krogers while I turned left at the light and went towards the house. I stopped at Krogers and watched for a bit and her car never moved. I don't know if she was that shook up or her car would not start. Went to the house after a few minutes hooked up the boat and headed for the lake. Something tells me that she won't be doing that anytime soon.

Tim, I used to have a pretty nice Dakota that I bought off some young guy. Tinted windows, chrome 17's and a nice Pioneer stereo. I only listen to sports talk radio anytime I am driving. No music for me. Anyway, I am at a red light in Shepherdsville and this white redneck kid gang member wanna be is blaring his rap at the red light. I proceeded to roll the windows down, crank up my steroe and give the youngster a dose of the Jim Rome show cranked all the way up!

What I would really like to have is a device you could point at a car and it would kill all the power. Man when those eventually deaf idiots pull up Zappem, smile and drive away. Hey Don come to think of it we could use it on the tailgaters aso let get up close enough to see their nosehair aim that badboy backwards and leave coasting. **** I sure am getting vindictive in my old age....
