I honestly dgaf abt any of the 3 involved. But rlly, would this have happened if the old guy didn't get out of his car?

I mean I make mistakes like everyone and when someone gets angry I am very passive and sometimes they take that as weakness or me being a pussy. But if someone were to get out of their vehicle and approach me while family or girlfriend is in the car, damn straight I'm going to slam my door open and be ready for a fight. Point is I can understand(not necessarily agree) how the girl felt she needed to protect her child, heat of the moment.

I wouldn't say "the old guy got out of his car" as painting an accurate picture. The door on the silver car was swinging open before his was.
And what the fuck was she planning on doing when she opened his door?

This road rage still better 10/10

People need to chill the fuck out on the road. They think just because they're in a car that they're invincible and start flipping the bird and shit. You don't see people getting all uppity in walking in a crowd because someone accidentally cut them off. Put them in a car and it's Rocket Man vs Dotard.

I'd say that and social anxiety brought by being "connected" via social media 24/7 thru your phone. People are constantly doing something on their phone or listening to music that there's never a dull, quiet moment for the mind to just unwind and process the life we're living. Nowadays we're so information and socially saturated we have no time to reflect and think.

It's also the infrastructure that hasn't kept up with the growth. People's commute are 2-3 times what they were a few years ago.

haha I get a little hot-headed sometimes driving..but i rarely lay on the horn/flip the bird anymore unless it's a close call

driving outside of north america definitely helps condition you to be used to being cut-off sans signals, U-turn in grid lock traffic, continuing straight from turn-lanes etc

I dont need to see what led to this, this woman clearly is a shit starter.
talking all innocent and shit
why did she go over and open his door? Self def? throw stuff at the guy just standing on the other side of the car, yea self def alright...

not saying male driver is innocent but guarantee this woman started whole thing from way back

fliptuner 09-23-2017 12:30 AM

Unless there's a kitchen in her car, what's she even doing on the road?

Fucking city is retarded, just make that a dedicated lane on to marine and go suck on doanlds trump taint if you are cutting 4 lanes to get on to the left turn lane for argyle.

Yeah what used to be a 5 min drive to work (one exit) is now a 30 min drive wtf. Though on the bright side, I'm no longer nervous at driving manual in traffic.

Honestly surprised I haven't seen any road rage on knight. There's so many people using the Bridgeport exit lane to cut ahead.

idk whose great idea it was, but fuck the guy who decided to completely replace the "trucks use right lane" sign on the North Van side of Second Narrows with "fender benders move vehicles off of travel lanes"

Now almost everyday, there's three trucks blocking all three lanes on Second Narrows at any random time.

North Van traffic sucks, i don't blame anyone getting fired up. But please keep it inside the car.

at the start the older guy threw a can at the silver car, that's when the girls bf jumped out, then just as fast lost his balls when old guy stepped out too

Oh you are right, i see the can.. i may retract my previous comment. Still think woman shoud have stayed in the car with her kid and tell his passenger to get back in, not throw stuff and escalate the fight.

My thoughts exactly. When I was walking around NY I couldn't believe the amount of horning was going on. It was literally a beep every 2-3 seconds.
I almost thought it was a bunch of taxi's saying hi to each other, repeatedly.

Now that I think about it, even WALKING in Manhattan was semi-stressful. As a tourist I stopped to take a look at the map and this dude who was like 10 paces behind me raised his hands and was like "seriously man wtf" ... even though I wasn't directly in his path

I bowl over people that randomly stop. Happens a lot at places like nightmarket.

i notice cars honk to warn pedestrians that theyre coming thru, since pedestrians are constantly jaywalking

driving in ny is intense (i needlessly rented a car) i think it increased my skill 10fold lol, but didnt have a problem walking or randomly stopping lol

I've spent the last ten minutes trying to find a study that I read which states that the larger the population, the less people care about each other. The more density a person lives in, the less value they place on human life.

But since I don't have a reference, I'll just see myself out.
:okay:
