Just had my first road rage incident in my M4

aajjcc · 03-17-2016, 08:02 PM

Was going on ramp with two lanes. A Kia sedan entered the right side and I went to the left. I sped up and got there first by a few cars lengths before he did. As I was merging into freeway traffic he cut off the guy on the next lane sped up, got into my lane, and started brake checking me. I tried switching lanes and he just kept getting in front of me and brake checking me. He eventually sped up and left. Sorry I had to vent... I'm high on adrenaline right now.

You drive M4, you can always outrun him!

Heavy traffic nothing I can do. All the lanes next to me were congested. He kept squeezing into my lane like he was going to hit the side of my car.

You made the right choice to just play it cool. Kia driver may not care about damaging his car either. Let him have his "glory".

You drive an M4, he drives a Kia. You already won! Feel sorry for him, not anger.

gprgeorge · 03-17-2016, 08:33 PM

Kia POS. Not worth it. I get stupid people driving ford escorts doing that shit too. They got nothing to loose. Did right thing.

This is what ticked him off.

Good job keeping your cool while behind the wheel!

Next time, pull up along side of him, roll down the window and say "hey, does that car come in Men's?"

When driving a "big boy" car, one must diffuse the situation. Well done for not fighting the lunatic.

Valentino_f82 · 03-17-2016, 09:02 PM

Drive your car like you don't give f**k about it when someone tries squeezing you like that and you'll see them back off real quick. Another tip. I always keep quarters in my car (for meters and what not) and people tend to not act as tough anymore when they're car is getting pegged with coins

2015F80 · 03-17-2016, 09:12 PM

the fact is that some people like that are just plain crazy. For all we know the guy might be high. Might have a knife or a gun. Or will just get out of his car and start kicking your car.

just play it cool. If you're driving an M you probably don't have time to waste with people like that or worse risk you well being.

From my experience people with the crapiest cars can be the most dangerous.

If you see a speeding rusted minivan (or a kia), get out of the way and don't infuriate them. The dudes driving these things are like lions that have been locked up too long. they can go crazy on you at anytime.

+1. Wow, word for word what I was about to post. The 1st part anyway.

Rain49king · 03-17-2016, 09:23 PM

I know here in Florida 80 out of 100 vehicles have at least one gun in them and people tend to be a little more respectful. Not saying there is not the occasional mistake or middle finger but most people who understand the gun laws would think twice about using there vehicle as a threat to your well being.

This is good advice. I just usually brandish my Sig P226.

I usually do the same but only if they don't stop provoking me after I try to diffuse the situation in a civilized manner.

MaynardZed · 03-18-2016, 12:27 AM

99 out of 100 here in Arizona. Don't recommend "brandishing" anything though, that's an aggravated assault felony in most jurisdictions.

The only time you should be pulling a gun out in public is if you're going to be pulling the trigger.

Btw sig 229 in .40 for me

A similar thing happened to me a while back. This is a perfect example the need of my idea>>> imagine a printed graphics (like the Finger) on the retractable rear shades...

///M-Furby · 03-18-2016, 01:11 AM

i was driving by nyc, and a truck driver tried running into me side ways. then he floored it trying to rear end me. luckily i had an opening and got out of the way. this was years ago, and i really dont know what was up his ass. my car was a 4 y/o 330, so nothing special
