What do you do when people cut you off?

When possible, I put the skinny pedal all the way down if things gets serious. 100+mph usually fixes the issue, the [censored] off individual is usually driving a completely worn out piece of garbage barely capable of highway speeds.

Last encounter with a road rager(A whole car load actually) went like this:

I'm tooling along in the right lane doing 75 or so, just cruising along in light traffic. Nice day. I come up to a semi truck, signal, look back to see nothing in the left lane but an old dodge diesel pulling a loaded trailer a hundred yards back, which I immediately estimate to be going slower than I was.

I was wrong, this truck is being piloted by your typical white trash, 20 something redneck, along with 3 of his friends, at 80+. He flies up on me, lays on the horn, starts riding my bumper, all that [censored]. This "man" is clearly angry. I don't care, don't drive at blatantly unsafe speeds and you wouldn't be having any issues. I get around the semi and go back to the right lane. They then blow by me, all 4(double cab truck) giving us the finger.

Then they decide to drop in front of me and brake check me, unacceptable, I go for a pass, they now try running me off the road. NOPE, drop a gear, WOT, 80, 90, 100, 105, truck now looks pretty small in the mirrors, I get off at my exit. THESE GUYS DECIDE TO FOLLOW ME, floor it again, run at 100 for a mile or so, drop off on a back road (cheap brakes were finally starting to fade) and stop in a random driveway, they blow by doing 85 or so. I wait a minute, get back on the road and continue towards home. Came up on em a few miles later in some S curves, his trailer had lost a tire. The look on his face when I drove by and gave a polite honk and wave was the most angry thing I have ever seen. Needless to say, I parked in the backyard that day.

^ LOL. That truck driver was going at a blatantly unsafe speed... But I doubt the limit was 75, so youre spotless when this tool was blatantly unsafe?

hahaha.

I agree the guy was an idiot and unsafe, but you DID start the situation, and you were every bit as illegal as he was!

Perhaps the cops care more in NJ, in Michigan 75-90mph depending on how close you are to a city is the flow of traffic on a clear day, the limit is 70, 75 is a safe sane speed. I didn't start anything, I was minding my own [censored] business, and this [censored] wasn't.

Yes, I exceeded 100mph on a backroad, Somebody was certainly going to die otherwise, likely me. The guy tried pushing me off the road, not cool. What do expect me to do, stop and call the cops, so they pick up the bodies of myself and the friend riding with me half an hour later?

Usually I assume they are in a hurry and I let them go faster than me. If they are just careless driver I will try to honk at them so they don't do it again. It is good for them as many of these careless drivers really didn't know they were cutting people off.

Seriously, think before getting back at someone by throwing stuff out your window after someone cut you off. What you throw out there may not hit the guy, but another innocent guy, and these things keep bouncing on the highway and causing a lot of damages to a lot of cars on the road. I really hate it when I got all these damages to my bumper, tires, and windshield just because 2 idiots on the road was cutting off and retaliating each other.

I guess we need a really good war, like WWII, so we can direct our anger outward instead of inward. This whole thread makes me really sad.

I know what you're saying...but we've BEEN AT WAR for the past 10 years...it's just that it only affects our service members...the general public is completely unaffected...

At least the public isn't spitting on us this time...
 
Yes, but as you said it is not like WWII in which the general population was involved in the war effort. All I was really trying to say is that I find this animosity toward one another - in the same country, mind you - extremely disconcerting.
