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

Best thing you can do is try to escape these assholes. Here is a story about a road rage killing in Colorado Springs....http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/i.../t-230073.html

I hear this. It takes a lot to get me all fired up on the road these days. I have develope a rather thick skin working in the casino industry for years. I usually just laugh when someone does something stupid and say to myslef, "He's and asshole and I'm not....I win".

Of course if someone was bounding toward my vehicle in a rage, I'd have my weapon ready first then get the phone dialing to 911 (if I couldn't just drive away of course).

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.

I need a taser.

I'd stick with running the red light and creating distance between myself and the gentleman. 5-10 miles should be sufficient.

I may have an icky scary gun and a couple of icky scary knives on me and so on, but I'm also too old, too fat, too tired, and too much a wuss to be getting into fights over traffic crap.

This is also why, at red lights, I won't pull so far forward that I can'd see the ground in front of my car, so that I'll have at least a chance to run.

WHAT IF? Can you escape, or are you in a no win scenario, where deadly force is the only option. Is there an exit route, have i left enough room between my vehicle and the one in front of me to move ?

This is why I always leave plenty of room between myself and the vehicle in front of me at red lights... always have an out.

i think the rule is you should be able to see where the tires of the car in front of you meet the road

I use that rule when driving the Dodge Ram, but in my car I give a little more room than that.
