Just involved in a road rage incident. Assholes suck

Driving home, guy in a full size dodge truck is tailgating me. Makes it worse that his lights are the perfect height to blind the fvck out of me. I proceed to stop short at a light and flip him off. Driving on a 2 lane road, we were in the right hand lane, but this lane was wide enough for 2+ cars in it. After I flip him off, he drives around me on the right-hand side and cuts me off and slams on his breaks. My front-right bumper hits his rear-left bumper. Becuase his truck is higher then mine, it rides up and hits my right light.

He takes off and I follow. I write down his license plate number and continue to follow. He switches lanes and we pull up to a red light next to each other. The conversation starts off rather calmly and I ask him what the heck he is doing just taking off. He then starts ranting that it is my fault, he will not give me his info, and that I need to go take care of my own "******".

After I realize there is no way this guy is going to pull over, I give up and give in to my anger. I tell him to go fvck himself and this ignites an admittedly childish exchange of every curse word that both of us know. This continues to the next light where he takes it to the next level by getting out of his truck and threatens to kick my ass. He never comes around the front of his truck, but this makes me realize he is much more crazy then I ever will be. I end it there, roll up my window, and go home.

EDIT: I was an idiot, not looking for sympathy, just venting about some douchebagery.

Yeah, do you know how many times I've wanted to do that to other drivers ? Except you never know how crazy the person is. Guns rule. Too bad I don't have one.

did you have any good music playing while this was going down?

Maybe some rap song about busting caps would have made the situation more movielike : P

this is going to be fun.
The bird was a poor choice on your part.

Was planning on it until I actually got out and looked at the damage. Considerring he is going to just lie and the placement of the damage is in his advantage, the cops will be left out of this. Just a scratch my front bumper and slighty pushed my light back. Nothing broken and I chaulk up the scratch to a lesson learned.

However, if he drove off, that's a hit-and-run making it his fault even though you rear-ended him.

you in the US?

Meh, that is true after the fact. Anyone who tailgates me deserves the bird. Now, I will just be more careful when I dispense the bird. ;)

Yeah, assholes do suck. Too bad it sounds like you are one.

Sounds like two assholes to me.

Your an idiot and so is he.

Whatever. Was it stupid of me to flip him off? Obviously, but somehow I am an asshole for it? :roll:

Yeah your an asshole, and you did stop short at the light - I am willing to bet VERY short. Then you flip the guy off.

Be the bigger man and let it go, or just be an asshole - your already good at it.

Wasn't very short, but you've already made up your mind. Good luck with that.

Exactly, and he wonders why we're calling him an asshole.

That's messed up that he took it to a dangerous level by stopping like that, not saying tailgating isn't bad enough but that dude is an absolute piece of shit who deserved to be flipped off.

And you made up your mind about the guy in the truck. So what is your point?
