Would you ever get out of your vehicle and confront another driver?

Last week while in morning traffic, I pass a subdivision and after passing the entrance, a guy in a truck pulls out of it, right in front of the guy behind me. So now the guy who pulled out is behind me and the guy he pulled in front of is laying on his horn (everyone's pissed because traffic was straight out of hell). Then the guy who's now behind me lays on his horn as well. Both lay on their horns for 15-20 seconds while we're all just stopped in traffic, not able to go anywhere.

I watched as the guy behind me gets out of his vehicle and goes to confront the other guy. They get in each other's faces yelling and it was about to go down. I started looking for a way to get out of there in case bullets started flying but I was trapped. My wife always tells me following too closely is going to be the death of me one day and I was too close to the car in front of me to go anywhere. I couldn't help but to think how my wife was right .

Then after about 20 seconds of them screaming in each other's faces they just stopped and got back into their vehicles.

But how stupid is that do to? I don't care how mad I am at someone else on the road, I'm not getting out of my vehicle because you never know who has a gun and who doesn't. That's a great way to die.




I know, wall of text. Short version: guy got out of his truck to confront another driver during road rage. Verbal argument ensued and luckily they never got physical and just got back into their vehicles. Who's dumb enough to do something like that?

I did that once with a man of African descent. He went to his car to get his gun and came back with his hand under his shirt with his finger pointed at me.

No, sounds like a good way to get shot.

I'll just yell at them to myself in the my car.

Nah, these days the risk is too high to possibly get shot. I don't want to be another road rage murder on the news..

In today’s world I would never get out of my car to confront someone. Not that I’m a pussy, but people are crazy. And all it takes is one crazy to pull out a gun.

Shame they didn't shoot each other. Would have made the news as a "Breaking Story".

If it had been Houston, Texas they would have driven down the expressway in heavy traffic shooting at each other, although it is against the law in Texas to shoot at the other vehicle while stopped in the tollway booth line.



Seriously. Very bad move and an excellent way to get shot.

you think that's something, this morning, while stopped at a light I was trying to touch up my eye makeup and the light changed, before I could even react this a-hole behind me starts laying on his horn and flipping me off, I was so flustered that by the time I composed myself, the light had cycled back to red, by the time it went back to green I was so shaken that I could barely ease through the intersection to find a place a place to pull over and finish my eyes, I thought the loony was going to ram me!

I don't even drive aggressively anymore. If someone wants to drive like a di@k, he can have at it. I'll move over for him. I'm not going to trap myself behind some other slow driver to be courteous to the a-hole though. He can wait.
