Dealing with malicious drivers

He was taking advantage of the traffic pattern and me, from out of state, knew to be over and out of the way.

Of course he will get his and I hope it to be a long and painful cancer from those cigarettes.

But what does one do and what recourse is there against such idiotic behavior?

Another example, once in a snowstorm, guys in a van threw snowballs at other cars, one hit my wife's.

What is the appropriate response, 911? Police report? No reason people should tolerate such behavior.

I do wish police would hang out at exit only chokepoints where a select few pass by and cut. Give them all $100 tickets for reckless and inattentive driving not with the pattern, and solve some budget issues...


JHZR2, you can carry a 12 pack of cheap soda in your car. either throw an empty soda can back or let the soda fly on his hood. or an empty water bottle of urine would do it too.

I'm kidding or am I?

The second event was similar but I was in a work truck at the time, as I passed my his parked car he opened the door with the intention of me hitting it. I swerved and braked and only touched the door lightly. I stopped and tried to talk to this yahoo. He was more intent on damaging his door with a brick-he would try to put it by the hinges and slamming the door shut. It didn't work the three times he tried-I was standing right there witnessing this. He finally gave up and drove off....


Was he in a Dodge Diplomat?

That's how my Mustang LX 5.0's life was ended.

Saw the doddering old fool sitting there at the redlight in his Member's Only jacket and Coke bottle glasses in the middle of summer. I have a green light. He has a red. He's looking right at me. As I enter the intersection, he goes. I have the distance of the width of one lane to stop from 40 mph.
His car had dents all over it. My '85 Mustang left more than just a dent.

...but back on topic, I didn't shoot him.
