Not sure if it exactly counts as roadrage given this happened at a gas station. However i’ll share anyway given i was in my car during the whole interaction.
So the gas station was full of cars at every pump and i had already dealt with one person come up and steal the pump i was about to use. So i ended up having to wait for the next to open up. It was a biker(harley leather vest ect..) and since like i stated i already had one person take my pump i hurried over to get it. Apparently this jackass thought i was coming up about to hit him or something. He gets off his bike and comes up to my car telling me to get out so he can fight me. I was already in a bad mood and had very little gas so i wasnt about to drive off. I get into a yelling match with him. I think he expected me to be scared of him. I told him not today and to fuck off ect... this goes on for a few minutes before i feel he is about to try and grab me. Now this was before i had my ccw however i still carried a decent size hunting knife in my car. I saw him coming up and grabbed it before the encounter started yet kept it out of sight only in case it came down to it. So as i said i felt at this point things had escalated to the point i felt he was about to do something. I didnt threaten him or make a big scene i just very subtly raised the knife which was in my left hand high enough in my lap the he could see it but no one else. This worked as he suddenly backed off rather quickly and went and got on his bike. Im sure his wife/gf who was on the back was surprised by the look on her face when he suddenly left me alone. He took off i may have called him a couple names as he walked away. I get out after i make sure hes left. Fill up my tank and am now on the road waiting for the light as i see him ride past again and i flip him off. I see him pull in someplace to turn around but at this point my light had changed and i was gone.

There is a bigger, brighter life awaits you. Chances are you drive someone's dream car already. Why throw rocks in a puddle of shit? Of course this isn't pointed at you, however the stories you related were quite sad. I have heard of those as well. |

Also who the fuck travels with so many firearms in their car? I lived in Kenya and South Africa for years during my teens; never travelled with so many guns. |

Driving South on I-95 near Fredericksburg, VA on the middle of a three lane highway. Saw one knucklehead passing me on the right and one at the same time passing me on the left. It appeared to me they were racing....guess what, the both went to the middle lane at the same time and bump into each other (like bumper cars)...I thought guns would come out next, but nothing. They kept on driving like nothing had happened. The weirdest thing I have seen in my many years of driving.

Perhaps the driving version of fist bumps? Crazy!

Unsure if road rage or just someone being stupid. Leaving home to go to town, Im on the highway and a dude in his infiniti comes up fast to pass me. We're about 5 past midnight on the dial and I cant explain to husband a ticket right now, so I let him go ahead while passing a minivan to our right. His car couldn't handle it and he swerved and spun out in the ditch. A week later he's hanging out the side of his buddy's M4 after spotting my car at the lights and yells to me "Hey did you see that?!? I know you did!"

What do you do when a pack of motorcycles come to a stop on the interstate? The driver freaked out and plowed their way out. I would have been on the cellphone so quick on 911 and asked for assistance. I was driving outside of Atlanta through Conyers on a Sunday afternoon and about ten bikes stopped across three lanes on I-20 eastbound. I waited about two minutes and while they revved their engines then took off and used the next exit. When I lived in downtown Atlanta, large groups would ride down the street on quads and dirt bikes and block intersections and side roads while revving their engines. What can you do when there’s no cops around but keep your head on a swivel and don’t expose yourself to harm.

divided 55mph highway. car in right lane 100yds ahead at speed limit.
Minivan in front of us on three motorcycles. Crest hill and there is a near stopped loader on a flat bed in the right lane. Car slams left, minivan slams on brakes....we had no issues and slowed. Minivan driver proceeds to tail gate like...3 feet off car. Car won't move over. Brake checks minivan hard. We get showered with tailights and headlight bits... This continues another quarter mile and me and one other bike make the jump to hyperspace and flat out leave.... (liter superbike will do that!!). Not sticking around for carnage. Last guy gets stuck behind them. Riding a buell he crashed earlier in the day...another story. The car and truck proceed to NASCAR it out on the road....rubbin is racing!!! Eventually car takes off with van in chase. Meanwhile we have slowed back to double digits and start looking for our third. We pull into a visible lot and see the minivan and car race down the left turn lane blow the red light going straight and still going at it. Our third catches up and fills us in. Now this happened like 150 miles from home and pre(ish) internet....And I'd hate to think if someone got hurt and there was no other witnesses..I had memorized the plates on minivan. SO I call the state police and leave a brief date/time/ location and my name. Few days later SP calls me and we discuss. Never found car. Minivan driver was pissed since kids in minivan were hurt bouncing off the dash of the MV during the brake check. Irony...his tags "I(heart symbol)RKIDS" ...but not enough to belt them in.... Then he says....."You guys took off pretty fast! (um yes sir...not sticking around for them to wreck me!) There was an off duty officer 200 yards back and saw it as well who did not chase since he was in personal car. SP says...."The other officer rides too. He said he would have done the exact same thing given the situation.... and laughs. So weird.

It was a trip!!! I bet I posted it before.... So I will post the buell crash story.... 3rd guy was a friend of guy number two. Long time rider...Always Harleys. (real bikes ya know....yah sure!). By the time we get to the first gas station I know this guy has no clue how to actually ride a motorcycle. He is on guy number twos buell (because it is a "Harley") and has NEVER ridden a sportbike ever. In retrospect the buell was not a good bike...but not my choice to make. So I say...Ride at your own pace but at some point today if you feel like you are going too fast in a corner I want you to push real hard on the inside handle bar and look all the way through the corner...don't touch the brakes or the gas. We get out to 211 west of DC near sperryville and hit the curves. I go into the very first left hander at about 10% of my normal....and he is gone when I glance in the mirror. We do a rockford and head back. Bikes in the ditch...shifter is bent...but intact and just ugly. He is fine but frazzled. He says "we were going so fast!!!" We might have been going 35....in a corner that you could easily double that. I asked did you push on the inside bar or hit the brakes? "It was so fast I had to brake". We told him he had a choice. Hang out and get the reckless driving ticket or ride on. He climbed back on.....I said push on the inside bar!!!! After that ride I never saw him again....back to the cruisers I am sure!!
