Cruising in the left lane probably.

Some people are just nuts and should be institutionalized.

I can't imagine a traffic disagreement leading me to firing off rounds into another vehicle. Flip him off and pull off and buy a cup of coffee. shite people.

I also can't imagine chasing someone for 20 miles.

It’ll be recorded as a Covid death.

Is it really a chase if they are both heading the same way on I10?

I agree with you on that. If I’m ever in a road rage situation I just try to calmly get around them or ignore it. Absolutely no need to use violence. However there was one time I was so mad I would have considering shooting at a guy if I had a gun. Me and this guy in a big rough country lifted truck with a smokestack were at a light one time turning from the LSU lakes into Stanford. It seems fine, he just pulled up next me at the light like any normal person would. Light turns green and the guy darts in front of me in my lane and blows smoke in my face. I have to slam on the breaks to keep from totally running off the road and slamming into a concrete bridge. Very lucky there wasn’t a pedestrian there as it was by the lakes. Guy smiles at me with a big dumbass grin as he made the cut and then slams on the gas going like 60 in a 35. That was one of the maddest times I’ve been in my life. Sorry this turned into a vent

Mine was on Sherwood. We were in bumper to bumper traffic and I stopped to let some old lady out. Guy behind me loses his mind, starts laying on the horn, gets in the left lane and eventually gets right in front of me. Flashes a gun (I had one too).

We get to the light at Harrell Ferry and he locks up his brakes trying to get me to hit him I guess. I had my then 9 year old daughter with me and this dude lost his mind because I cost him 15 seconds driving home.

He was a 30s black dude in a truck. I had 2 extra mags with me too but I'm glad he didn't start shooting. He flipped me off like 5 times.

Drove home from the beach today Oyster. Bad rain in spots but nobody tried to kill me because I was going 77 in the left lane for a bit. People are crazy.

While I don’t condone irrational behavior, frickos that do 70 in the left lane need to be dealt with extreme prejudice...

With how insane people are on the road, I notice a significant difference in my driving when my kids are in the car.
