Brake check = road rage death

[waggy]

The worst of it is the guy driving the Nissan. Poor guy kills one guy and injures another. Even though it isn't his fault, still a pretty awful thing to live through/with; not to mention totaling his car.

i hope neither family sues him. actually i think he should sue both families for his car and emotional distress.

I'm a pretty "chill" guy, but for some reason dumb asses in cars kill me. I don't even want to sound ego-manically or narcissistic, because even I wouldn't know I would be in the wrong all the time on the road. Who the fawk knows?

Once I was driving down the highway when the lanes shift due to construction. Left lane was ending and some ass hole tried to shoot across the left lane trying to get in front of me before the lane ended. I did not let him in my lane and he went ape shit. I slowed down while he honked at me 1000 times and when he knew I was ignoring him, he got in front of me and threw something out his window onto my windshield. At that point I wanted him to pull over so I could choke the shit out of him on the highway.

It all sounds crazy until someone gets under your skin and does it.

Overpopulation.

Why doesn't this surprise me? We've all been involved in some form of road rage ... if we could just control ourselves.

 

[FelixDeCat]

We know that eventually, one way or another, we are all going to die. Only God knows how and where. Little did Donohue know that slamming on his brakes (something he has probably been doing most of his life) was going to result in his own death in less than an hour.

Its kind of like looking back at a tragic event or mistake in your life over and over. You keep going back to that time and thinking, "little did I know that was going to happen when I _____"

I think about things like this so I can change outcome of events in my future. It makes you think twice that's for sure!

if someone throws something at my car, i'm calling the police. that's considered a projectile missile and can lead to jail time

the fist fighting over road rage is fine..except the part where they fight in the street. should have taken it out of the road.
i brake check..and i'll fight over it too if i'm doing the speed limit or more and some dick rides my ass, yeah thats a good time to make sure my brakes are working properly.

Try leaving sooner if your in a hurry.

Prick

 

[pcgeek11]

typical old man douche who won't get out of the way for someone driving faster, and he decides to be a dick and brake check.

Typical young asshole that thinks he owns the entire road and wants everybody to bend over and get out of his way while he is speeding.

 

[alkemyst]

wow, today some asshat in an huge ass pickup truck was tailgating me majorly when I was heading to dogpark.

First to explain things I drive a sport coupe that's lowered and with a semi-loud exhaust.

I always stop for a double gulp at the 7-11 on the way since I am usually there for a few hours and it's hot as fuck in florida now. Right after getting on to I95 after this, this asshat decided to want to pick on me.

We go through this motion for about 5 miles to my next exit. Guy just rode my ass the whole way and flashed his brights. I kept moving right and then he'd move right. Once I got backed up I moved left to pass then he moved left to pass.

I finally get to my exit and he exited too. I actually waited to the last minute and pulled across 2 lanes to exit late. Once he duplicated that I absolutely knew this guy just wanted to mess with me in his 4x4.

Anyway, I was just coasting in the right lane at this point... It's sunday and it was in-between church so hardly anyone on the road, I was just jamming out to music and messing with my dogs riding along. This fucknut decided rather than just pass me still, he would continue fuck with me.

every redlight (and I swear I got all of them this time, 4 total) he'd blow his horn prior to it even changing. He had one of those freaking air horns that is just obnoxious. The do cause you to jump, they are freaking insane. Personally I think even having them on a vehicle should be like an illegal tint ticket even if your windows were down.

So what I did was the second time this happened was gun it then he gunned it too following me into the left lane that he wouldn't go into prior. Then I threw my big gulp out and nailed his ass (just the liquid not the cup, yeah that was probably not the best move, but there was only us on the road). At that point I called the local PD and explained I was being chased after having to leave church early *added in some praying for sweet baby jesus to save me* and needed help and I think this guy wants to murder me. I mentioned he tried to throw something at me and it splashed all over his vehicle and after that he got even more crazy.

About 30 secs later I notice two officers flying up just as I am getting off another redlight with him blowing his horn. I floor it and he floors it, I then pulled a minor brake check which sent this buffoon into total road rage. Started blowing his horn and swerving left and right, waving his arm out the window along with his passenger.

He got pulled over with both officers flying up between us and doing their own power braking on him.

Dog park was awesome today.

As I left his vehicle was left on the side of the road.

Testosterone is a dangerous thing. I declare we spread awareness.

Remember to neuter your road ragers.

 

[Soundmanred]

People that use their cars for any purpose other than driving are asking for trouble. All the brake checking, cutting people off, etc is immature and senseless.
It teaches nothing, and just escalates a situation.
It's baffling the ego people get behind the wheel, they think they are invincible and can do anything which is ridiculous.
Self control goes a long way.

tl;dr


Interesting story though. I dont know if I would have put up with it that long. I would have just pulled over and axed him what his problem was or if he looked dangerous pulled into a police station / called them sooner.

Nevertheless it turned out ok for you.

 

[CrazyAznDriver]

The other day I was doing 30 in a 25 residential area and this asshole in a dealer plated bmw started to ride my ass. Naturally I slow down to the speed limit. He proceeds to flash me and act like a dick, getting really close to me. I keep watching him in the mirror, thinking of break checking but don't really want an accident so I just cruise at 25. He flips me the bird and turns into a bank lol. I turn around and sit behind him at the atm, he realized it was me and took the fuck off rofl. I follow him for a few blocks and he is on the cell phone probably calling the cops. We stop at a light and he starts yelling out the window 'did you really just start following me?!!' He seemed pretty scared. I just stared at him. He took off again and I followed him a few more blocks but decided to leave him alone just in case he called the cops... I don't know if is legal to follow someone but I didn't really want to find out. I don't think I would flip anyone off, there are some crazy people out there...

There is actually a police station along the way, it'd require a U-turn though. My wife no longer wants me to pull people over. She did it too once.

There was a chick with two kids standing up on the backseat driving erradically. They were falling over left and right. (they were still barely walking...very young and crying). She was on her phone and flipping everyone off as she weaved in and out of traffic.

Long story short, my wife only a couple years here from Japan pulled her over. Walked back and told the chick her kids were crying. This chick didn't care, got out and beat up my wife a bit. My wife already called the police at this point and then me. I was there when the rest broke down.

Cop shows up with me behind him. There are 4 other cars there already with hoochie mamas corning my wife with bruises. Cop orders everyone away from my wife.

What I do is write everyone's license plate down. The other chicks notice this and now beg the cop to help them.

He tells me to give him the paper and leave. I do. I repeat all the license plates out loud. They panic. I tell my wife, this will be fixed soon I am going home.

Cop tells me I can't do that. I tell him "you said to leave, can i?" he says GO!

I leave, my wife tells me everyone else sped away and the crack-ho driving got two tickets for no car seats as well as having no driver's license, no insurance, and an expired tag.

I never researched it, but I really can't look up a tag online here. It was a good bluff.

You are sort of the problem you are crying about.

That is sort of hilarious.

You are telling everyone to walk around in blinders yet you do not.

This is the kind of stupidity I'm talking about. What purpose did that serve? Do you believe he "learned his lesson"?
There are TONS of crazy people out there and you can't tell until they get out of their car and beat/shoot you and it's too late to call the police.
It's not worth acting like some kind of badass unless you can back it up, and even if you can, getting into any kind of scuffle because of driving is just plain dumb.

reality sucks huh. if you have to ride someone's ass, leave sooner next time.:thumbsdown:
its not hard. I leave 40 minutes early to work every single day on a 10 minute drive. i have time to change a tire or drive eco to save gas if i wanted. i do at least at least the speed limit, usually 5-10mph more so i'm not really the prick here, its those who are selfish with their time schedule and take the already over crowded roads for granted.

If you want to drive slow, take your time, or whatever, be my guest. But if you want to do it in the left lane in a multi-lane road or highway, while traffic is piling up behind you, you are an uber prick.
