Hopefully they find the guy. Silver Dodge Journey with the first 3 digits of the license should help them narrow it down to the vehicle. There won't be too many of those in the ICBC system.
I've had a couple of close calls where people decided to lane change into me while I was right beside them. I evaded the first one, the second one I was actually hoping they hit me because I was driving a customer's car where the best possible situation for them would have been a write-off and a new car. Yes, the VW had that many problems.

Now, its that motorists should be equipped with firearms in the event of road rage?  Classic.

I wish I had of been there  I'm fairly certain things would have ended up differently.
Interesting note on this though.. the Police didn't ask Care for any information ie. Name, Phone Number or anything like that. Any thoughts as to why?
Berz out.

Berz out. | They probably did and she probably didn't mention it because it's assumed that the cops are smart enough to ask?

I'm with Rich Sandor on this one. Dude probably lost it because of all the fast lane hogs. Let this be a lesson: Keep right unless passing.

Isn't that stretch of highway 100-110kmh? Stay right execept to pass, don't go with the flow of traffic in the left lane doing the limit. Also if you're in the left lane, check your mirrors regularly, people tend to go faster  | |

EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM, I rolled in behind them and waited a full 20-30s giving them the chance to move over into the wide-open space in the right lane, before finally going around. And EIGHT of those ten had AT LEAST two people in them, most had three or four, which means they could quite happily have been in the HOV lane instead of clogging up the PASSING LANE.

Revscene. The only place where people can justify road rage by saying that you're driving too slow.

I've felt like doing exactly what that truck driver did on numerous occasions. Fortunately common sense prevails, and I pass on the right when the opportunity arises. Don't drive in a way that impedes the flow of faster traffic. Is that too hard to comprehend?
