I went to watch a movie with my friend today and he accidentally cut someone off because there was a van blocking the view. The driver, a psycho bitch, stopped next to us and started swearing. We continue driving then noticed the psycho was following us. It lasted for about 15 minutes till we decided to drive by a police station then the psycho finally left us alone. I'm just glad that's all that happened with all the messed up stuff I've been reading lately.

If there was a van blocking his view, then he shouldn't have made the lane change until he could do so safely.
The driver may have been a psycho bitch, but some people take offense to almost being killed/seriously injured by another person's careless negligence.
I'm gonna wager than instead of being cool and like "whoops my bad" out of politeness when the woman got upset, that you and your friend both did the teenage indifferent "what's your problem psycho bitch?" trip and that's what really set her off.

The light was green and we were making a right. I guess she was trying to make a left when the van was also turning left.

The one I want is legal vigilante on-the-spot executions for people who cut you without using their turn signals (because their hand was to busy holding their cell phone) and without checking their blind spot (because then they'd drop the cell phone), and then act like you're the one who can't drive because they forced you to make radical emergency maneuvers to avoid a life-threatening accident.

Can we add left foot brakers who never remove their foot from the pedal? Their brakes lights are on for miles and miles.
the way you have described this could be taken as you were making a right from a left turn lane. your descriptions suck.

yes, and we could add a few more such as the highbeam idiots, the leave the turn signal on drivers, the tailgater and the senior that stops at all intersections reguardless of the light.

Most people just like following forever, someone actually having the true balls [to do anything beyond follow you to scare you] is a very rare individual. Someone actually ramming into you is a rare occurrence.
Odd story that directly relates to this.
Story goes these kids harassed this one other person on the roadway, I believe by throwing a full bottle at some car. This car starts 'chasing' them. Chasing them implies NOTHING about intent to harm. What happens is the lead car gets scared by said car all of a sudden approaching them, so they speed up. Well, to maintain the fear, the rear car starts speeding up to keep up with that car. Very rarely do they approach while chasing with a high rate of speed that could result in an accident. They don't wanna mess up their car. Well, kids who don't know how to drive, will some how lose control when cornering too fast or something else. This is what happened to this group of kids (my senior year of high school... this keds were juniors at my high school). Well, they crashed, and the driver died. Girl in front seat gets paralyzed from waste down, and still is to this day, with basically no chances of recovery.
Well, the driver's dad, following initial trials, some handful of months later, allegedly goes to the home of the driver who was chasing the kids, and points a loaded gun at his head! And so many people in the town are crying that putting the dad in jail for 5 years is too much! Pointing a loaded gun at someones head, is intent to murder. Any implied intentions of only threating with no intent for murder, are completely unsubstantial. And now they are trying to say the dad is mentally unstable! He's fucking reckless, that's all.
I feel for the family, and I feel for the girl who is paralyzed and scared out of her mind, and for all the family and friends. But, no.... this guy was completely wrong in threating of that nature and he needs to at least serve the 5 years, if not more. Mentally unstable should mean he needs special treatment, but not some psycho ward either, regular a high security prison with recovery programs.
