Don't you hate it when people spray your 370?

idk...maybe im paranoid.

Road rage is, at heart, a silly thing to engage in. For all you know, the driver you just flipped off or cut off or whatever has a gun and a death wish. You just don't know.

In VA, approximately 85% of us have a gun.

I generally will never flip someone off but I have no problem doing back what someone just did to me so hopefully they get the message and they sure as hell can't bitch about it when they just did it to me!

Yes they can. If a guy cuts you off, and then you cut him off again in response, that can turn ugly in a hurry. If a guy yells at you and you yell back, same deal. "Eye for an eye", whether justified or not, can turn into a road rage situation. I know people who've had guns pulled on them. I also knew a guy who flew into a rage and chased someone else on foot across I-795 and was killed.

I am much more passive on the road when I can help it. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me, but you have to keep things in perspective. Are you safe? Is your vehicle damaged? Are you endangering others?

I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same thing you did in that situation. I'm sure I would on a bad day. Just saying that it bears some risk.

Yeah, there was a situation here a while back where road rage turned into a gunfight in the middle of traffic. All because someone got cut off. I try my best just to forgive and move on right away.

I hate people that ride around with the high beams on. Especially after you pass them. I once threw my protein shake out the window directly at the side of this dumb bitch that purposely threw on her high beams after I passed her. So I slowed down and she ate it. Almost literally because her window was open.

Having had a gun pointed out the window at me after giving someone the finger, I thoroughly agree.
Just as dangerous as a gun is the soccer mom with a cell phone. When she cries foul to the cops, who's he going to believe? (Hint: Not the dude in the fast car.)

I didn't read through this whole thread because I'm sure it contains enough material to warrant my response.
It's not about you. Chances are, the guy using their windshield washer actually needed to see. Unless, of course, you were riding his a** and he sprayed you to teach you a lesson, in which case, you deserved it.
Take a deep breath and repeat after me... It's not about me.
Once you get that through your head, you'll be one less person likely to be part of a road rage statistic.
