I slowed way the f--k down and unfortunately didn't get to see how it turned out
you should've got that on tape! youtube!!!

Wouldn't it be easier to have an EZpass and not sit in traffic to pay a cash toll?

Of course it would be easier but why would anyone want to make it easier on themselves. They's rather be miserable and rot in traffic. We have EZ pass and I love using it.

Wow some of the road rage stories posted are.....wow..no words!

As for me, when some d-bag cuts me off, I find a way to get in front of their car and flip on the windshield wipers amd the fluid...at high speeds, the windshield wiper fluid runs over your car and straight into the front windshield of the car behind you..i just giggle when I see the angry driver behind me turning on their wipers to clear it...lol

when someone cuts you off they are most likely driving very fast so it's very difficult to not only catch up to them in traffic but also get infront of them.

Who cares? Many Li drivers are immature enough to disregard common sense and prove they have the bigger penis.

If some one passes you, that is not cut off, as is what you just explained. . . .

Cut off is when you are say doing 65 in the left lane and the asshat you're approaching in the middle lane who are driving at 50mph decide that as you are within 50' to 30' of them that signal or not F you they are cutting in front of you CUTTING you off..

When cut off you need to use your brakes. . . hence cut off

You described passing. . . .

Cut off is also when stuck in traffic and some asshat decides to come up the break down/shoulder lane and stuff her car in front of your 5' following distance, again causing you to stop. . . .

i hope these people rot in hell.
The problem with people is that everyone wants to be first!
That's the same reason they all feel entitled to cut you off the last second.
I drive on a 3 lane every day that goes into two lanes and then one lane. I'm usually in the left lane because it's the right lane that ends. Invariably there's always someone who is in back of me in the left lane who flies over to the right lane just to cut me off before the right lane ends. WHY??? Just so that they are one car length in front of me?? Ridiculous!
