re: I saw a road rage traffic incident on the way to work...

Was John right to do what he did? Would you have done the same thing?

1. YES
2. On many occasions I have done the same thing.

I have say, almost ALWAYS when some a-hole passes on the right lane as it merges left into traffic....
It's an inconsiderate black female between the age of 30-50.

This crap happens all the time where 110 South hits I10. And that's not a zipper merge situation that's a two lanes go left one lane goes go right situation and you damn well know it. Makes my blood boil when those asshats drive up the I-10 W lane to skip traffic then try to wedge onto 10 east and end up cruising through the barrier area and up the shoulder til some moron let's them in. They don't even try to merge where it's still legal.

Once, I saw a douche in a lowered single cab white Silverado get pulled over for doing this...it was glorious.

I encounter two such merge situations every day, but with a long stretch for the Bobs to act like an arse. I hope every day that Bob dies in a fiery crash.

No such luck though. The only satisfaction I've received is when a bob crossed double white lines early in the process to go around a state trooper pulled out to block him and yelled at him to get back into traffic.

I'm with John

That's a good way for Bob to get one to the dome if he runs across the wrong John one day.

Anybody got a good rage story?

On mobile, so it'll be short.

My buddy was approaching an intersection where the right light was a right turn only lane. Admittedly, he wasn't paying attention and was travelling in this right lane with the intention of going straight. Traffic was backed up, and there was a gap in the intersection so that other cars could turn left.

My buddy travels all the way to the front of the line of traffic and cuts in front of everyone going straight. The guy who he happened to cut right in front of didn't take too kindly to this. This guy did the honking, finger ,etc after getting right behind my friend.

He then rolled down his window and started yelling. Traffic moves a bit, and this guy gets out of the car and starts banging on my friends window. Then the traffic moves some more and this guy stands in front of my friends car and starts yelling "DO YOU WANT TO DIE MOTHERfrickER!? YOU BETTER NOT MOVE". My friend then proceeds to drive through this crazy man who rolls off the hood, never to be seen again.

So why won't zipper merging work in this case?

People in the left lane don't want to allow one car in front of them and insist on holding their spot?

This was on Walker Rd this morning going from Murray Blvd to 158th. Right where it narrows up to one lane.
