Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Road Rage incident while out for lunch

So I'm on my merry way across town to grab a bite to eat after running some business errands.
Heading across a bridge[1/4 mile long] that starts as 3 lanes with the far left lane eventually ending as a left turn only.
I'm cruising along in the then center lane as I will be making a left not too far on up. No vehicles are close behind me in this lane but I notice a car coming on fast in the left lane, I've quite a fun and eventful morning and say WTF I'll race him[remember, no vehicles behind me in my lane], this jackwipe barely makes it in time to cut in front of me and then hits the brakes, hard. I tell him he's #1 via the Paddler salute and he proceeds to wave me into the next parking lot, I obliged. He gets out his vehicle yelling, screaming and flailing his arms all over at me as he approaches, I've still said nary a word and I think he was very surprised by that.
Once he calmed a tad I just looked at him and said " dude, after the morning that I've had I think assume ******** you" and acted like I was reaching down to get something.
I didn't realize that Mitsubishi's had the ass to burn rubber like his did!

My question: his vehicle had handicapped tags-does that make me a racist?

Damn if I didn't turn around and head on back to work...and I was going to have my annual McRib sammich, maybe I shoulda thanked him?

You need to edit the 4th from the last sentence.

So many wrongs in the OP.

Having my annual McRib?

Not sure what one is saying in the OP, but why race anyone on a public road way? Hope one's insurance agent does not read the above.

1. "Racing" someone instead of just letting them go by.
2. Flipping them off.
3. Pulling into a parking lot after them.
4. Threatening to shoot them.
Did you ever think what could've happened if they were armed, too? You were as much the antagonist as they were.

[quote=1minute]He's saying that the other car was coming up fast in the left lane to get in front of him before the lane ended so he sped up to attempt to keep that from happening. Immaturity at its finest.

Sounds like Memorial Bridge in Radford. Lots of crackheads in Radford, be careful.

I never really went very far above the speed limit as this happened in the last 50-100 yards of the lane ending, more closed the gap[safe distance] between vehicle ahead and myself.
Again, there was nothing behind me and a vehicle in front which he had no chance of passing, so why? There actually wasn't really much traffic at all in any of 3/2 lanes.
Do you NOT ever have one of days where you just say 'nope,not happening today"?

If the other car had handicapped plates, if something happened, they might be able to claim Disparity of Force if something serious happened.

Maybe no McRib?

Listen closely I'm also typing slowly: I DID let him over, he DID immediately slam his brakes, which is when he got the salute, if anyone was speeding[wreckless speeds] it was the other driver, and he switched lanes on a by then solid line.

No, read your first post. You never said that you let him in, just that he beat you. He did do stupid stuff, that doesn't mean that you have to imitate him.

Hook, line, and sinker............

You were the instigator and if you had rear ended him you'd be paying to repair his car and yours.

"No, read your first post. You never said that you let him in, just that he beat you. He did do stupid stuff, that doesn't mean that you have to imitate him."

The post was long enough as is, wasn't wanting write a pamphlet....

Still didn't get the McRib, and still unsure whether or not to thank the azzhat for that?
And since my vehicle is black, maybe HE is racist?

Yup

dafuq???

I'd have did it exactly like you did Raeford !!

A friend and his son got into a minor road rage/flipping-off session with some guy a couple of years ago. The son was driving and followed the guy into a parking lot. The guy stopped, the son got out, approached the guy who was getting out of his car, and got shot dead. Yeah, that schitt’s a lot of fun.
