Confronting Tailgaters

[stevierst]

I  I could punch most folks lights out if I had to.BUT..FFs you just dont know what that other guy is packing!..Its never a gentlemanly fight is it ?...they could have knives or a gun.

This is becoming all to common an occurance! I deal with the aftermath of this when road rage turns violent, and it rarely ends well. I've seen incidents where golf clubs have been used against drivers, machete's, and yes even guns pulled out, but thankfully not used!!! You just don't know who these people are that are aggressive towards you. Best bet is to just get away from them when it gets to 'an exchange of opinions'
It's happened to me over the last week though on several occasions with stupid little girls playing with their phones and pulling out of junctions infront of me, then myopic old people who have lost all sense of distance/speed of oncoming traffic and trying to overtake. White van man trying to overtake another car when I'm already alongside him on a single carriageway, forcing me into the offside gutter at 60+ mph!!!! I've given them all a piece of my mind as I've driven past, even considering stopping van man and smacking him one for nearly orphaning my kids!! It's a good job I've got quite a bit of self control, but it puts me in a horrid mood for the rest of the day
