Some lady was in a real big hurry this morning on my way into downtown. After flipping me the bird, she decided she was going to attempt to cut me off without bothering to make sure her car was clear of my front bumper.





I have a tiny little dent about the size of a door ding on the front quarter panel, but the rest just looks like a good buff job and maybe some touch-up paint on the wheel.




I just don't understand why people do this. For being in such a hurry to get wherever she was going, she ended up being at least an hour and a half late.

How was the interaction when yall pulled over? I've seen dudes shoving each other on the shoulder after what I imagine are FAFO situations like this.

She would not get out of her car. I just nonchalantly asked her if she was happy. I also got her on video saying she pulled in front of me.

It was remarkably civil, probably because she done messed up A-Aron.

This road rage stuff is kind of out of control.

I had a guy chase me home the other day. He was turning right onto a dirt rural driveway off a two-lane FM road. I casually passed him on the left going about 15 mph as he was turning and he swerved to hit me. I floored it to get away from him and he chased me at speeds approaching 100mph for about 5 miles. I eventually lost him in my little zoom zoom car because he couldn't maneuver quickly enough in his 3/4 ton diesel.

Oh, and a body shop will charge you $1,500 for the buff and wheel touch-up.

F the ***** in the Jetta. She gets what she gets.

So did you get her insurance information? Hopefully you don't have any suspension/ steering problems.

Haha, hope you have a dashcam cause she'll say you hit her.

She would only give it to the cops. Already filed the claim.

I've been putting off getting one, but not anymore.

I have her on video saying she pulled in front of me. There's also traffic camera footage.

Doesn't add up.He tried to hit you when you passed him on the left when he was turning right? And you instantly floored it just based on that? Cmon, what's the backstory.

Following truck. Guy slows to turn right. I go around him. He jerks wheel to the left and swerves at me, shooting me the bird out his open window. I drive off in a hurry. He floors it behind me and catches up quickly. His pickup can't keep up when we hit curves. In retrospect, I think it was a guy I went to high school with. Behavior would be fitting.

A few months ago, my wife was run off the road by a guy and gal in a truck near the same spot. They damn near sideswiped her on a narrow rural road, then squatted in front of her and she hit the brakes and swerved into the ditch. Turned out to be a neighbor.

There are idiots all over my area of rural central texas. Many are teenagers. Too many are grown adults. Stop signs are optional. Speed limits are merely suggestions. Chevy and Dodge trucks own the road and **** everyone else.

I sympathize with the OP.

Why is he upset you went around him? I don't understand the rager…

I've seen a lot of irritation on the road but have not come across this one.

If Dongar makes an adapter that can power the cam from your rear view then it's very easy to install. If you need a hard wire kit I have an extra one I'll give you for a 6 pack.

Road ragers are the worse. I was on 105 last weekend and this dumbass in a lifted Silverado 2500 behind me starts yelling and signaling out his window for me to pass a semi in a no pass zone. I guess he was in a hurry. I was in no hurry to pass the semi especially with my wife and kids in the truck going the speed limit. Get to a passing lane zone and he guns it and then flips me the bird as he passes me so I wave and he then proceeds to try to run me off the road not once but twice right before the Aggie freeway exit. He then stops in front of me in the middle of 105. At this point wife and girls are screaming and "scared." He proceeds to yell and motion in his mirror before I gun it and go around him. He passes me again and then proceeds to brake check multiple times and at this point the semi is nowhere to be seen. Idiot turns down some country road in Plantersville but the whole deal was bizarre.

Stuff like this is why I started carrying in the car. Had a guy think I made an illegal turn once (that was 100% legal), so he pulled across the road to block traffic and got out of his van to charge at me and I guess fight or something. He tucked tail and ran away when he got close enough to see me holding my weapon.

What do these people think is going to happen?

Idiots. And I carry too. I was locked and loaded ready to go if he would've posed a true threat to my family or I. Luckily I had a dash cam and knew which road he turned on (it dead ends) so I used the county CAD info and Google maps to track him down and provided the info to the sheriffs office along with the dash cam footage but they didn't want to follow up on it.

You should turn all that into the County Attorney's office. They probably have an investigator that could do something with it.

I have gotten to the point I just get away from folks like that. Not in my interest to deal with folks like that and waste my time. I'll slow down. If they want in... go ahead. Stay away from me.

I honestly don't even care at this point. I just didn't want it to happen to anyone else and things turn out worse for someone.

That's what we did. After his multiple brake checks, I just slowed down to 15 under and he kept a pretty large distance ahead and then once he turned down his road I gunned it and went about my business.

But all that said, an innocent wave turned some hot head with clear anger management issues loose and that's the last time I do that crap.

My dashcam paid for itself in a hit and run. Police didnt/couldn't do anything but it 100% helped with my insurance, and I had to argue with them.

I was in the car at 9pm at a stoplight when a jackass rear ended me.

What I learned, you can make a police report within 24hrs of the incident. I brought my suv in, had downloaded the video to a tablet so it was easier to see. And walked the officer around showing what and where. One thing though. Make Sure your face is visible in the footage when inspecting your vehicle to prove that the footage is yours. The police report did help fight my insurer.

Just 2 cents.

Same for me when a lady changed her story after our accident.

I've heard that it's important to capture details like plate info & the faces to prove that it's your video and who was driving the car.

Here's my video, she was apologetic when we pulled off the road.

In my case it was dark and he sold off. The red tail lights didn't illuminate his face very well and I couldn't pick him out of a photo lineup.

The truck was insured but the owner ers refused to identify who was driving it. Which infuriated me.

I have video of her right after the collision, sitting in the drivers seat of her car, admitting fault.

Her insurance loved it.
