Road Rage

If he gets out of his vehicle I would stay in mine and just run him over.

In Colorado, we don't shoot thugs, we run them over.

I like the Russian dash cam vid accidents but the music really made this one.

China has the most fucked up traffic laws, it's beyond my understanding.

Ex: You can't ran a yellow light in China.

I will just link to my angry titties post, since last time I posted it I was told I was duping myself.

A buddy of mine had a bum that wouldn't leave the window of his car... he did when my buddies glock came out lol..

anyway, Ive been in situations like that too.. I actually think that if any of us are ever involved in a self defense situation, that road rage might be the leading cause... people get crazy out there.

"Road rage" is probably the most likely way to encounter random violence. Seems to happen to nearly everyone at least once in their life, even if they've done nothing to "provoke" it. Everyone seems to forget that while felons, drug addicts, and the mentally ill are prohibited from owning a firearm, there is no law prohibiting them from owning a car, and you WILL occasionally share the road with them.

Last year while on my way to work I had some thug cut me off on I225 after he came down the ramp from Parker, went on the shoulder then cut one person off in the right lane and then me in the middle right lane. I had to slam the brakes as he had to stop because traffic in front of him came to a complete stop. I honked as he was cutting me off since I ended up only an inch or so from his rear bumper. He gets out of his car and walks to mine (while still on the highway) and makes a gun with his hand and flexes his thumb to indicate he wanted to shoot me while pounding on my windshield with his left hand and screaming. Once he noticed that my right hand not being on the wheel actually held a .357 magnum in my lap angled up at his chest, he turned and got back in his car. The driver to my right was on her phone looking scared as hell, guessing it was with 911.

So many countless times I honk at people for almost hitting me and they give me the one finger salute. Makes a lot of sense...

If someone at a dead stop cut you off while traveling 40mph and nearly caused a pile up, most of you would honk correct?

If after that honk the guy get out of your way and proceeds to follow you while throwing stuff at your car, would you draw on him if he was in the process of getting out of his car to come fight you at a red light?

Just asking to see what an appropriate response would be since I didn't have a gun in my car(only a knife) and my cell phone slid onto the floor when I had to test my brakes(they work really well btw)


Since I couldn't get to the phone I eventually just ran the red light to get away from the nutbag once there was an opening in traffic or I'm sure I would've had to deal with him until I made it to the police station to pick up my ccw permit.

No, I would not draw on him if he simply got out of his car, threw stuff at my car, or came to fight me. Not unless he was successful in bashing in the windows and was actually able to gain entry, would I shoot. I would instead honk my horn at him as he walked toward the car, drawing attention to myself and him so other drivers will be better witnesses. If stopped, I'd unbuckle if needed and reach in to the floorboard to get my phone and call 911, on speaker phone. What happens after that is entirely situational.

In your case with only a knife, just wait until he puts his arms/fist through the broken window trying to open or unlock the door and slash his hand or arm a few times...

Snapping pictures or recording video of the perp and his car is always wise too...

All the while, you should be on the phone with 911...
