I was a passenger with another woman. A man raced passed us, stopped in front of us, and prevented us from moving. He motioned for the driver to open the window which she did because she thought that he was a police officer in an unmarked car. He began to yell at her for driving too fast. He was the one who passed us and stopped short in front of us. It was weird.

My friend's boyfriend at the time accidentally cut off a cyclist. The cyclist caught up to him at a red light, punched him in the face, and drove away. It was extremely upsetting and frightening. This was right after a woman had been shot and killed in her car on the Grand Central Parkway. Road rage is bad.

Some cyclists in New York are extremely dangerous. They ride on the sidewalk and dart in between cars and between the sidewalk and buses. I have almost been run down twice in the past few months. I saw a cyclist almost plow down a blind person getting off a bus while I was waiting to get on. Luckily, there was a big guy who stopped him.

My mom and I were leaving a Chinese Buffet. We were parked in a compact parking spot, and this SUV parked in the compact space next to us. There was literally NO room to get in or out on the SUV's driver or our passenger side. The driver of the SUV had to push our side-view mirror in to park, then had to get out of his passenger side cause there was no room for him to get out of his side.

So, I had two ice cream cones in my hand, and my mom took one of them, and as we drove off, my mom threw one of the cones on the back of the SUV. This huge Hispanic guy comes out of the restaurant and yells "What the fuck you doing bitch?!" and I threw the other cone on his car as my mom sped off.

Good thing too. I was only 13, and I actually wanted to go back and confront the guy....

Another one from me...

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were up in Boston. We were driving along 128 at about 12:30am. There were only a handful of other vehicles on the highway. The speed limit is 55, and we were doing a comfortable 70 in the center lane.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, this Masshole passed me on the right, cut me off, brake-checked me, and then sped off, for no discernible reason other than to be a d!ck. I decided I was too tired for a game of cat and mouse, so I let him go.

Why he passed on the right instead of the left is anyone's guess. The right lane was empty, and the left lane had only one vehicle in it...

...which, unfortunately for the Masshole, happened to be a police cruiser. Smokey passed us, paced the Masshole for a few seconds to determine his speed, then pulled him over. I hope he got nailed for speeding and reckless driving - and, from the way he was driving, quite probably DUI.

Every once in a while, there is a cop around when you need one.

This is long...sorry!

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas Eve, I was coming home from a friends' house, on a poorly lit, curvy backroad and some guy starts tailgating me. He never tries to pass me, turning on his brights from time to time. On the straight aways of the road, he pulls into the oncoming lane of traffic to match speeds with me, never trying to pass. He pulls back behind me when the road got curvy. I did not have a cell phone with me, so I couldn't call for help. I couldn't tell if he was trying to get me to pull over or something else.

The road to my house was coming up, so I turned down it, hoping this idiot would let me go. He didn't. He turned down the road, too. I then decided I was not going to let this person know where I live, so I decided to head towards town to the grocery store, where I could get help. I drove to the grocery store, with him following me the entire way. I parked, jumped out of my car, ready to run into the store, when the driver who had been following me stopped, rolled down his window, looked at me and said,

"Oh, I thought you were someone else" and took off.

I returned to my car and cried for at least 10 minutes. I never got the guy's license plate, just a general description of the car and the driver. When I told my parents, my dad marched down the street to our neighbor's house, who is a policeman, and told him.

One of the scariest moments of my life!!

About a year ago I was driving home and was going to get off at the next exit so I got into the slow lane. I got behind a little old lady that was literally going about 40 in a 65. I wasn't to bothered because at least she was in the slow lane, but the guy behind me was irrate. I think he thought I was purposely going slow so he would get boxed in by the Big rig next to me.

When got off the freeway the little old lady stayed on the guy followed me. He was moving his arms around and making all sorts of gestures. When we got to the stop sign he pulled up next to me, rolled down his window and threw an open can of beer out the window. He also had a few pleasant words to say. This sent my hubby over the edge and he started cussing back until he realized that there were 2 kids in the truck. As he pulled away we called the cops.

Two days later I was notifed that he had been arrested that night. Hopefully he learned his lesson and doesn't drink while driving......AND most importantly.....NOT with his kids in the car.

My lil and I were driving down a busy main road one fine summer day. I was in the far right lane, and needed to get in the middle lane, with my blinker on (I'm anal about using turn signals). Well, this car that was in the far left lane decided to get over just after I got over... mind you without a turn signal. They decide to honk at me and tail me. I needed to get gas since I was almost on empty, so I switched lanes safely and pulled into the station. Lil and I were discussing who would get the gas and who would go in for the cigarettes. Right as she was about to open her door, crazy car pulls up besides me, screaming at me "You stupid f*(&ing white bitch" and all other things. I hurried up and locked my doors and closed the window while I just sat there. The passenger got out of the car and was pounding on my window screaming obscenties and racial slurs, and I looked over at the drive who was laughing and the two people in the back who looked like they were about to shit their pants. She ended up throwing something at my car... something white and chunky. I sped off into a subdivision and they went on their merry way.

I had to drive 15 minutes to another gas station and get that shit off my window, all the while checking my mirrors to make sure they weren't following me still. I seriously thought we were going to be shot, and others at the gas station just watched. Friendly city we have here but that's Taylor for ya.

A road by my office was recently under construction. Part of it is boulevard-style (has a big grassy area in the middle between the two lanes).

Well, the eastbound lane under construction, so anyone who wanted to go east had to take the marked detour route. Not this one chick, though. I'm driving down the westbound lane when all of a sudden I see a car coming RIGHT AT ME! I slam on the brakes, move to the right a little, and give her a "what the f*** are you doing??" look. We both had our windows rolled down, and we have the following exchange:

Stupid Motorist: Move over!
Me: Are you kidding me? You're driving on the wrong side of the street!
SM: Well the road's under construction. What else am I supposed to do?
Me: Uh...take the detour, like everyone else is.
SM: Oh, shut up.

With that, she drives off, still on the wrong side of the street.

Connecticut drivers are deeply stupid.

I was heading along Route X toward the dentist's office when asshat decides he's tired of waiting for the guy in front of him to turn left, and peels out into my lane without signaling or looking. He sees me coming up and immediately brake-checks. I drove off the road, since there was nowhere else I could go. I felt my ABS engage, and I was sitting there in the driver's seat, foot on the brake, screaming, leaning on the horn, but apparently still managed to scrape his back bumper enough to leave paint. I chalk it up to my years of commuting with crazy-ass nutcases that I didn't do worse. I neither felt nor heard an impact, so I kept going.

Asshat FOLLOWED ME to my destination (unbeknownst to me as he pulled over and let a few cars pass me so he could follow me surrepititiosly) and came after me in the parking lot. He yelled at me for speeding in a school zone (I was doing maybe 15). I kept my head enough to RUN into the dentist's office and say to the receptionist "call the cops" (cell phones don't work around there).

I was too wigged to sit still for my cleaning, and had to reschedule.

I've told the cops to leave it at a computer record of the incident for now, but I'm inclined to go in and file an accident report, as the accident was plainly his fault for an improper lane change.

People ALWAYS flash their high beams at me, like to tell me that mine are on, but they are never on high!!!!! I don't know if they just seem that way or what the deal is. My friend Tony also has a Mustang and he says people do that to him a lot. Anyway, it hacks me off when they wait till they are right up on me to pass me and just blind me. Arrrrgggggggh.

The day after Christmas, I was heading to work (I work at the Gap in the mall in my town). After driving around the mall parking lot for about five minutes, I saw a family with four little kids heading to their car. I let them cross in front of me, and then followed them to their (close!) spot. I put on my turn signal, and waited while they loaded all of their kids and bags and strollers into the cars. A bunch of other cars passed me, seeing that I had my turn signal on & was waiting for the spot.

Just as they were backing out of the spot, this b*tch comes speeding up the aisle, sees me with my turn signal on, and proceeds to take the spot anyway. I beeped at her, flashed my lights, and pointed to the turn signal I had on, & she made some hand motions as to "i had the spot, blah blah blah."

It's probably not that big a deal, but it was quite rude because I was obviously waiting for the spot. I was so annoyed (and by that time, almost late for work). It was especially annoying because I had waited SO long for the spot!

Needless to say, she is the first person I've ever flipped off!

[lifesaver]

The rudest thing another driver has ever done to me has been to dare get in front of me, or in my way. I am way more important than them and have much more important business to be attending to then whatever nonsense they have going on.

Not only am I busier, but I am a more important and better person.
