This happened to me once, except it was a young guy my age in a C-class. He then proceeded to throw a McDonalds bag at my car. He pulled up beside me at a light swearing at me and smiling like a lunatic, so I told him to gently caress off and that was that. Some people have bad days at work I guess? It's utterly baffling.

I just had to ride with my boss for about a 50 minute round trip, during which he was on his phone about 20 minutes, used his turn signal zero times, and had his seatbelt buckled for none of it. I don't understand how that intermittent dinging doesn't annoy people. That's specifically what it's designed to do.

It's incredible that often the wrong doer is the biggest road rager. I guess we have larger vehicles to thank for that, people feel safer to be the arsehole they are inside.

Dear HGV driving fuckwit, I understand that you would like to go 85 when the HGV in front of me is doing 83, but flashing high beams and honking at me isn't going to make that other HGV go faster. I don't get why you think it's okay to drive your 40 tonne piece of poo poo Volvo less than 5 metres from my rear bumper. It's perfectly okay for me to do 83 in the slow lane and keep 40 or 50 metres distance between me and the HGV in front of me. Thankfully I did write down your license number and after a bit of searching for the name on your truck I found the contact information of your employer. Your head of HR is a very nice man and I hope you enjoy explaining this incident on your performance review. Sincerely, The driver of the tiny blue car in front of you.

They would both be at fault. Nissan for "failure to observe right of way" or however it's written, and bimmer for careless driving. Who's more at fault would be determined by blood-sucking lawyers in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Depends on the state. Some of them, the person who makes the collision (BMW in this case) is 100% always at fault.

In Florida the BMW would be pretty much hosed because AFAIK, rear-ending someone else is always your fault.

Extra posted:Had a question for ye goons after observing this: If there was a collision I would consider the BMW at fault. Its a right hand turn with the truck moving left. The truck driver likely had enough time to check all of his mirrors and look over his shoulder and complete the turn before he ever saw the BMW. The BMW was carrying way too much speed differential though that turn - drive to be seen and not pop up on someone in the last second.

Not only is this car parked in the middle of the lot where there isn't a spot, they're parked diagonally across the back of the only handicap spot in the parking lot, completely blocking access (you can see the handicap sign in the background).

I had a nondescript armored truck try to merge into me recently. He completely ignored me and merged into my lane from the on-ramp, nearly hitting me, even though the onramp lane continued for another 1/4 mile. I was able to swerve out of his way into the other lane, luckily there was nobody there. He then proceeded to cut off a minivan who was driving with their high beams on, and every time the minivan would try to pass him he would deliberately cut them off and brake. He was still doing this 10 miles later when I got off the highway, and the minivan still had his high beams on. Sadly, he did not have a "how's my driving?" sticker.

So when we drove a bit agressively in traffic and someone yelled "I'm calling your boss!" my coworker yelled "do it. Call him right now and tell him he's an rear end in a top hat, I quit, and I'm stealing his van!" Absolutely priceless look on the rager's face. My coworker took that specific van A LOT after that. Also, anecdotal, but I rear-ended a car in California and was found not-at-fault by the police and both insurance agencies. The other guy had put his car in park in the middle of an offramp.

Even more amusing is when I'm cruising along with the rest of the traffic in the left lane, and one of these idiots shows up changing lanes and darting past everybody only to hit the wall of slower traffic and slowly fall back, then find an opening and change lanes and dart ahead of everybody only to hit yet another wall and slowly fall back again. I always laugh at the guy who passes me 4 or 5 times only to end up 1 or 2 car lengths ahead of me, or even behind me when I finally reach my exit.

I actually called somebody's company to report their driving for the first time a few months ago. I'm in the left lane starting to pass some utility truck when he starts drifting over. No signal or anything, just started merging into me. I'm leaning on the horn as a brake and veer toward the shoulder and it doesn't phase him. A few miles later when he finally drifts back to the right, also without signalling, and I pass him, he's kind of leaning on his door with his hand up to the side of his head. So when I got to the office I called the number on his truck and told them they needed to talk to their drivers about not driving distracted and explained what happened. Not 30 minutes later the guy I talked to called back, even though I'd left no number, to ask where exactly the incident took place. He was trying to narrow down which driver was the likely culprit. I can't speak for Brinks, but at least some companies out there care about this sort of thing.

I think I've seen a truck driver post on AI so maybe they can weigh in on the issue. They do take this sort of thing very seriously, FMCSA tracks safety information for all U.S. carriers and Mexican and Canadian carriers that do business here. That information is available here: http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx You've just got to be very specific about the nature of the complaint as a lot of road ragers call in fraudulent claims (Going slow up hills is not a safety violation, accidentally swerving across the lanes due to pavement angle or wind, also not violations.) Hell, I call bad drivers in all the time and provide dash cam footage when I do. Be sure to get the unit number, record the time of day, name of the road, direction and milemarker (Unit 33710, Northbound, I65 MM 54 Alabama, 1300) so that they know the exact where/when. Some companies, like the one I contract to can pull up speed and directional accelerometer information based off GPS and other truck mounted sensors, other companies are equipped with side-facing and forward facing radar systems and can be read back at safety as well. If you're going to make complaints against drivers I cannot stress to be specific more, some companies like SWIFT have 17,989 drivers operating 21,026 power units so saying "Your driver did this" is a little too vague.

Best case is maybe they want to exit in the next mile or so but don't want to slow down yet? They're still a dick because I'm not sure how they couldn't see green and yellow were clearly moving slower, but maybe they sort of had a theory going into it.

I didn't want to get a door ding, so I parked it aaaallll the way back in the car park. No cars in my row, or the ones before or after it. Longer walk to the shops, but I was happy to do that. I was only in the shop for 20mins, came back and there were two cars in the spaces either side of. All the other spaces were still empty. It's like they were scared to leave their cars on their own, in case they got lonely or something.

Speaking of brodozers, I got irrationally angry at this truck I saw pull into a handicap spot at Target. Lifted, huge tires, stacks, smoked lights. Guy steps out and walks completely fine into the store. The gently caress do you need a handicap plate for if you can walk? Is your wiener that small that it's considered a disability?
