So I'm driving down the street today and my lane is wide enough that half the lane people park on, and the other half is used for the through traffic.

Some guy comes zipping down the lane with the parked cars and whips in front of me right before he hits the parked car in front of me.

I honk my horn at him (ever since I got back from India I love honking my horn when people do stupid things) and the guy gets all pissed off and sticks his arm out the window and gives me the finger. I couldn't help but laugh.

This guy is driving like an idiot, and the only reason there wasn't an acident is because I slowed down enough to give him space to pull in front of me, and his reaction is to be pissed off at me.

I find it quite amusing and perplexing at the same time.
 
You havent had a guy pull over and want to fight you on the side of the road after honking at him. Just laughed, gave him the bird and drove away.

America? People drive like this, or worse, all over the world.

Americans are some of the worst drivers in the world. Mixed with our FU attitude. We'll kick your ass!

Bullsh!t.

The US doesn't even come close to having the highest accident rates.

Ever try driving in Southern Europe? Italy especially?

How about the Caribbean?

Come back when you've actually driven in other countries and can speak from experience.
 
People in other nations wonder why we never use our bumpers on our cars, afterall, that's what they're put on there for, bumping stuff.
 
almost the same thing happened to me. lady cut me off. i honked. she slammed on the brakes almost causing a pileup. opened her sunroof...in the RAIN...to flick me off.

Well I have driven in the philippines (Manila, seriously some of the worst if not THE worst traffic in the world), ridden a skooter through Hong Kong, as well as driven all over Mexico so your point?

Drivers from other countries might seem rude, but their just trying to get somewhere quickly and with the gridlock cutting people off, and honking isn't just expected but necessary the difference is it's without malice. If you're not aggressive you get eaten alive forcing you to be a good driver.
 
I alwways (unless it is a semi or cop) stay going the same speed when there is traffic merging from an onramp. People that are going 50-60 when ALL of the traffic is doing 68-70+ are going to case accidents. As they get near the end of the ramp and realize that I am not going to flee into the other lane, they quickly decide to either speed up or slow down and get into a spot instead of forcing their way in.
