That is not road rage or stalking. Not even close. I am proud that I spoke up to someone breaking the law. This was right near a school. Maybe if more people speak up instead of just complaining about poor drivers there would be less accidents on our roads. Jay

Thats what the cops are for…. sorry but following someone to their destination to reprimand them about their driving, is road rage..

Not to mention your move regarding purposely driving into the intersection as they are going before you, then purposely blaring your horn to startle them, is also road rage, by definition…

You shouldn't be proud of your behavior on the road.

I personally don't think what JayCT did was road rage. If anything he's actually helping make driving safer for others, unlike the typical purpose of road rage.

It keeps traffic flowing and doesn't affect you because you need to wait for the 1st car anyways and I'm almost out of the intersection by the time you're able to step on your gas. Other than that, I wait and go in order.

I think people hesitate too long at 4-way stops in general which causes traffic backups. I hate it when I'm approaching a 4-way stop and there's already someone to my left or right stopped and they wait until I come to a stop before they go. It's just a waste of time for everyone!
and that is why states like Connecticut have some of the highest insurance rates. In no universe do you have the right to go until that person to the left moves. But you prefer to be courteous to the flow of traffic behind you rather than the one who has the right of way thru the intersection. Your waste of time will hurt someone someday. Insurance stats prove that and since they know how you drive, high rates for everyone.

How is waiting for someone to get halfway through an intersection, then purposely beginning to go as they are already in the intersection, only to dramatically slam on your brakes and honk your horn in an effort to "startle" them, helping anyone on the road? That is typical aggressive driving that could get someone hurt…. he should be embarrassed…

I can't stand when I see people on the road play games like that. They see someone else being an a-hole and attempt to be twice as big as an a-hole because they think they're in the right. It's like the moron who sits in the left lane as someone is tailgating them. When they see the tailgater move into the right lane to pass them on the right, they flip on their blinker and move over and pretend they didn't know they were about to get passed. It's passive aggressive BS and so typical of CT drivers..

And I hate drivers that break the law. I do that so that maybe at the next intersection they get to, they will stop and wait their turn like they are suppose to do. And hopefully that woman stopped going through intersections without stopping. And I do get over to let other drivers pass me because I too hate drivers that hang in the left lane without being conscience of the traffic behind them. Jay
