Caught a segment on the news about a road rage incident. A woman said a man followed her for miles after flipping out "for no apparent reason". I'm not saying its right but I'm pretty skeptical of the "no apparent reason" part.

"No apparent reason" is code for "I'm so disconnected from my driving and so lacking road awareness that I don't remember the 50 stupid things I did that finally pushed him over the edge.


It's sure as hell his fault for flipping out, but any driver with a clue would know why it happened.

My wife and I were driving through town on the way home when an old lady passed us, pulled in front of us and stopped in the road and then threw it in reverse backing towards us. I had stopped and when she came at us I gunned it and went around her. She chased after us, tailgating, swerving around, honking, flashing her lights, flailing her arms, etc.

I tried to ditch her but she was legit chasing us. My wife wouldn't let me stop and confront her, and we didn't want her to know where we lived, so when we got close to home we just started circling the block till she finally lost interest and left.

We spent maybe an hour talking about it trying to figure out how I could have upset this person so much and came up with nothing. I had just been driving down a straight road for 4 or 5 miles before this happened. There was no apparent reason.

A group of us were coming home from doing a drive/cruise when some lady out of no where starts honking/flailing/etc. We ignored her and just kept driving to our destination. She followed us the whole 20 miles. Got out livid and started screaming that supposedly something fell off one of our cars (she wasn't sure which one), hit her windshield in the next lane over and cracked it. So she wanted all of our insurance info. We said LOL, no.

Road rage is for imbeciles. We have a lot of imbeciles among us, beware. Americans think they have a God given right to drive. I think they need to be thrown into a tank of ice water. Shock! You're goddamn lucky to be driving, think of the start of Office Space. :) Similar to the start of La La Land and the start of Rush Hour. Grrrrr! Bumper to bumper on the freeway, all of them. I drive as little as I can, and that's not much (<1500 miles/year). Keeps my insurance cheap and my blood pressure stellar.
