None of the above. Possible road rage situation. Just keep on driving and look straight ahead.
Of course, you can always mouth something to the a--hole that he wouldn't hear.

congratulate yourself on being alert enough to stop in time, and think what a pr*t the man is - i assume it was a man...?

All of the above,!

I just shake my head in disbelief that a person who drives like that has a license and is still alive. No point shouting/flashing/honking the horn, the other driver does not have the intelligence to know they have done wrong. Have you noticed the police are never about when prats do stuff like that?

LOL! I remember when I was about 5, my dad was driving along the road when all of a sudden a bunch of teenagers in a Mini started driving towards us on our side of the road. He then chased them all around the streets until they stopped at a set of traffic lights. He proceeded to get out of the car, picked up this foot long screwdriver which he kept in the car in case of an emergency and smashed the driver's window. He then grabbed the guy by the collar and hurled abuse at him about how 'we had young kids in the car, you could have killed us blah blah!' The teens nearly shat themselves. It was the best bit of road rage I have ever seen!!

Cuss to yourself. Road rage is not funny and you don't want a surprise.

Would depend on the mood I was in to begin with, if it was a bad mood I would give the fingers and swear to myself, if I am in a fairly good mood nothing, just think to myself oh well everyine makes mistakes!

I would give them a piece of my mind. However, you don't know who you're dealing with and it isn't worth getting shot over. I'm 6'1" and 265 pounds, and I don't take s**t from anyone, but common sense takes over and I remember that it just doesn't matter. Life's too short to work yourself up over something like that.

Focus on control of your own vehicle!
Regardless of what the other driver just did to distract and perhaps scare you, control of your vehicle is the most important thing to concentrate on.
You might want to do all of the things you mentioned, but doing so will also distract you from your vehicle control.

Beep the horn


Michaela
Well, don't go too excessively on any 3...like flashing lights 20 million times, beeping the horn several times, giving the finger often. You might get a real case of road rage from the other driver.

If anything, a quick beep is fine because I think most of the time, people don't realize what they've done because they're shitty drivers.

I'd do nothing. Yes, the temptation is to get mad, but if you drive and let your emotions get the best of you, it creates a very dangerous situation.

Horn everytime

mouth obscene things and maybe beep my horn


StephenWeinstein
None of the above in those areas of the country where they might shoot you.

None of the above if it was not on purpose.

i'd do some yelling


fairly smart
I would honk the horn & yell to myself, not knowing what weaponry the other person has on them, & let them get far ahead! the further the better! I talk to other people, but just not so they can hear!


bungee
none of the above. with the huge increase in traffic everyone needs to be a little forgiving of others. If i have to take my foot of the gas or brake I feel so what no big deal. I'm 67 and I have yet to flash my lights, honk, or give someone the bird. been driving since I was 16

i drive an 18t truck so wish the poor b'stard goodluck and drive through him!!!!!

No. Just live with it. Happens frequently. Why get upset about it.

Just stay calm. Road range is stupid and can make things get worse.
