Man pushed into road rage
A Jefferson man said he was the victim of road rage after he confronted someone who had been speeding and “riding on his bumper.”
The man said a man pushed him after the encounter, according to an incident report filed with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. The victim said he got back into his truck and the man tried to open the door and then slapped the vehicle when he couldn’t get into it.
If someone is riding your bumper... best to just let it go. You never know who your dealing with.
The most dangerous behavior a driver can display is to ride another's ass end. It is the one accident that can NEVER be explained and is always (100%) the fault of the following vehicle. It is just an embasile act."They slammed on their brakes" is no excuse, you were following too close if you hit them.
What is especially entertaining to me is the rationale behind most anxious drivers who pass on two lane roads with double yellow. "I was in a hurry" and "I needed to get there at so and so time" are hilarious when you consider the risk associated against the few seconds one will save by passing.
Operating a motor vehicle is truely an IQ Test. Unfortunately many fail miserably!
I admit that my method of dealing with butt riders may invoke further bad behavior on the part of a driver subject to feeling road rage. I also understand that his/her behavior may become worse as a result of my continuing to tease and taunt them by slowing down, being extra careful, use of turn signals and so forth. I also acknowledge that the friendly wave I give them while they are fingering me, the smile I display as they are threatning my life and the sarcasm I employ will no doubt raise the possibility of their potential escalated behavior. The fact is however, I am extremely entertained by this activity and enjoy each precious moment of watching a human being make an absolute joke out of themselves acting like an idiot over something like losing four seconds travel time as a result of my extra careful driving.
Happy Motoring!
