Possibly a repost and definitely old, but a good read about road rage:

I always get a kick at the "They could have had a gun, then you'd be sorry!".
This is Vancouver, not Detroit and despite the recent gun violence the average joe does not carry a loaded gun in their car here.

I don't blame you if you piss your pants and have to run off like a little girl on confrontation, we stood up for ourselves.
Chances are, they won't have a gun... but I was just making a point.

You could spin this story, that the other guy was trying to stand up for himself and retaliated
cause these "big goons" in their big car was driving like they own the highway and not showing any courtesy to cars merging in.

Avoiding confrontation is probably the smartest thing to do. It has nothing to do with running off like a little girl.
And having a car full of big men doesn't give people the right to be assholes still... whether they can back it up or not.

I believe some guy in Surrey got shot last year over a road rage incident, from what I remember it was around the Scott Road area and I think a white Acura was involved.

Most guys have egos and want to act macho, I've had my fair share of road rage incidents but nothing serious but I've had a friend who basically got into a brawl in the middle of Marine Drive a few years back and he got charged so like I said before raging isn't worth getting charged over and fucking your life over, best to leave your ego at the door and let the cops deal with it.

x2

In Quebec the car beside us will with wiggers pulled a gun just for fun. We just pulled up beside them at a red light, they rolled down the rear window and flashed the gun. We all ducked and ran the red light, meanwhile those guys probably got a good laugh for scaring the shit out of us... so you never know.

I still find it incredulous that the "victim" was pinned to his car with a 4 ton pick-up doing a burn-out (with enough torque power to bend METAL and shatter glass) roaring into his torso and he came away with only severe bruises?
