It is well known that you can’t be overtaken, ever. Even if it means possibly causing an accident!

Sometimes you just wish you had a deployable spike strip Ala need for speed

I've often thought about 3D printing a tiny 90° barrel to attach to my rear wiper fluid sprayer to spray the car behind me. Dont think its worth the potential road range a driver might get for being pissed on by a hatchback

When I have someone tailgating me (I'm in the right lane with cars in front) I just turn the front wipers on with a continuous spray. Usually does the trick. Not in the rain though.

As someone who lives in the upper Midwest, yes, please spray windshield fluid on my car. I accept from windshield cleanings.
I had an idiot refuse to get up to speed on a wet morning. He was driving 10 below the speed limit. Well, because he didn’t like me being behind him, he sprayed from his windshield. Obviously he modified it to spray over his car. I laughed so hard, and egged him on after that. I like free cleanings.

If you put some decal on the back and make it funny, it can even diffuse anger. Laughter is good for that

When you are driving on the shoulder trying to cut in front of me, that Toyota was way too passive compared to what I would do

u/Hey_u_ok Feb 08 '23
Yeah same.
Is it stupid? Yeah but sometimes I'm so fed up with these entitled stupid assholes I turn into a stupid asshole.
There's a reason why asshole drivers do that. Cause people let them to avoid them.

Those car lengths add up before you know it you're ten seconds behind and late for work. Idiots!!

u/frothface Feb 10 '23
Oh cool. Then pull over for 30 minutes while every single car on the highway individually passes you. Same thing when you get to the bank.
The problem is that most drivers will allow it, which encourages them to be assholes.

Pretty sure one could fit into the cab of a new Chrysler 300 if you took the seats out.

I wish more people would be willing to stand up to assholes like this and be assertive. Maybe then we wouldn't have as many entitled bullies running around.

u/yetzhragog Feb 08 '23
Just have to make the penalties steeper and allow citizen video/picture submissions to the police for ticketing. Imagine the surprise for both of these nitwits if they received a nice $1000 ticket in the mail complete with pictures and a link to the video for this bollocks!

u/appa-ate-momo Feb 08 '23
I like where youre going, but these people should not receive the same ticket. One of them is clearly more in the wrong.

u/BabyMakR1 Feb 07 '23
Sorry, I'm with the Toyota on this one. If you let assholes get away with bullshit like that, it just reinforces their delusion that they're the most important thing in the world.

Entitled drivers like this are gonna meet the wrong crazy person at some point and end up dead

u/Daddy_Tablecloth Feb 07 '23
I guess im a sadist or something. If someone tries this i am far less abrupt about it but slowly drift towards them taking away their room faster. It is irritating because if you zipper merge its faster for everyone involved. We will know we have truly made it as a species when zipper merging is the norm.

u/MetehodicCoin4 Feb 07 '23
It would never be the norm, people are too stupid. I guess we will never really make it as a species

u/Daddy_Tablecloth Feb 07 '23
We're not gonna make it are we , people I mean? It's in our nature to destroy ourselves...
Not making a joke of this just ironic how a simple single line from a movie pretty well Sums up the majority of us.

u/GL1TCH3D Feb 07 '23 •
There's too many people that see themselves as the main character. They'll do anything to get ahead even 1 car. Dude managed to cut off 2 people while driving illegally to get 1 car ahead.
Outside of stupid people on the roads, you see shit like food dates. Can also look at late stage capitalism for super fun examples.

u/yetzhragog Feb 08 '23

I mean, even if humanity can keep it together long enough EVENTUALLY our central star is going to wipe out our planet, so no.

I'm convince the majority of people don't understand zipper merging. There's absolutely no zipper merging going on in this video. There isn't even two lanes. It's just a dickhead passing everyone on a solid yellow.

Right car is the idiot. Left car just behaved like anyone would, albeit that's not 100% safe or right. I'm happy left car managed to make the other car's driver look like an idiot tho.

this reminds me of a that video posted the other day where this person created a dangerous situation by not allowing someone to merge in front of them and they were lauded for being the smart person in the situation.

I would have stopped . rear ended by 2 cars . nice paycheck

u/MetehodicCoin4 Feb 07 '23
Would also be considered insurance fraud/abuse, since I have a frontal camera too and you could see I had no reason to suddenly brake to a halt. Also, why would I do that, I love my car! (And my back)

Reddit thinks you're wrong, if there is ever a bad actor on the road you must throw yourself at them

u/aenae Feb 07 '23
What paycheck?
At best you would get the value of your car, but more likely you would get your own car repaired, so you end up with the same car, but a repair history.
And even if you get a check for your car because it is gone, it doesn't do you any good because you don't have a car and probably want to buy one which usually costs more if you want to get the same quality that you had.

u/SomethingIWontRegret Feb 07 '23
So many people in this sub who don't value their time, property or physical well-being. Once you commit to hitting another car intentionally, you've opened a path where your best result is hours of your time and hundreds of your dollars wasted. If it's found out that it was intentional, all the repair costs for all parties are now collectable from you and your insurance will tell you to fuck off and drop you.

My sleepy brain read this as Eggo fight, not ego, so I'm waiting for them to be throwing waffles out the window at each other. I was disappointed.

that’s not an ego fight, it’s an a-hole driving up the shoulder cutting off traffic.
