These guys are pretty funny, but give great advice on how to avoid road rage incidents.

Excellent advice and they should broadcast this as a public service announcement here in Houston as we certainly have more than our fair share of wacko drivers....

brilliant

I like it.

Shut the frack up.
Stay in the frackin' car.
Leave.

Here they have another one. I'm pretty confident that in this case, the guy that appears to have started it would be in a bunch of trouble.

In this one, they add, "if someone is following you, go to a police station."

Following someone for 40 minutes? That's insane - you pretty much have no defense for whatever happens after that, as it's clear provocation.

Yes, a bunch of trouble. It apparently did not end there:

Traffic in Seattle has gotten to be pretty much unlivable. I think we now suffer some of the worst congestion in the country. With that comes a good deal more "road rage" as the ass holes seek every advantage by cutting people off, blocking intersections when we are near gridlock, tailgating, brake checking, and on and on while patience wears thin in the rest of us who are just trying to get around. Traffic around here has turned into a veritable powder keg. It never used to be that way.

The road rage incident discussed in the first video posted was only a few miles from my home! I blame 290 construction!

Yeah, the twins have that look, but they are actually pretty funny. You should give them a shot. I got that these videos are a bit of an act for them. They are trying to be entertaining, and I thought they did a pretty good job.

That guy has some major issues. To follow someone for 40 minutes. To start something (he threw the first punch as far as we know), and then to lose badly, and come back with a gun. All with your wife and kid in the car. And the wife isn't much better. The guy started it, and deserved the beating. It looked to me like they were done, then his wife handed him the gun. The wife and husband need felonies on their records so they can't own guns.

Jeff Higgins · 12-31-2016, 03:11 PM

Yeah, seems to me there should be no less than attempted murder charges on the guy, and "accessory to" on the woman. Doesn't sound like that was the case, though, with simple assault charges sounding like all they will get.

Think so? Years ago, the late Mike Royko of the Chicago Tribune wrote a column about a similar incident. Two women cut off a guy on Lake Shore Drive and the guy started following them, screaming for them to pull over. After a half hour of the guy yelling and flashing his lights at them, the two terrified women made it to a police station and ran inside, where the irate motorist followed. It was then-alderman current- IL Congressman Luis Gutierrez, who claimed he just wanted to explain to the young ladies how important road safety is, and that they should be more careful. Right.

Would have been nice if you had warned NSFW.

Shut it off after a few seconds. It is sub-intellectual to not be able to speak without throwing F-bombs around every 15 seconds.

One star

Funny guys and good on them for having a go.

You'd certainly want them on your side.

There are a lot of people out there who are a couple of tacos short of a combination plate, as the old saying goes. Be careful.

In the late 1990's, when I was home from college on a break, I was driving my 300D. I saw someone crest the hill about 1/3 of a mile away to my left and I pulled out in front of them, knowing that I could get up to the 35 mph speed limit well before they were anywhere near me. Well, the fellow must have been doing close to triple-digit speed because as I completed the turn, I checked my mirror and he was on my ass and swerving. He followed me. He tried to get out of his vehicle several times. I took him on a tour of town. After 40 minutes, I decided that if he was going to follow me, we were going on a road trip. I headed out to the cornfields. He followed me for maybe 10 miles before he gave up and turned around.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Chicago alderman are essentially dukes of their little fiefdoms. Gutierrez is an especially entitled duke.

People need to take recurrent driving tests. Too many people out there that don't know how to use blinkers. Drive way too slow in the left lane. And I see so many people who have no idea who has the right of way at a 4 way stop sign.

Stop giving stupid people drivers licenses is the real answer. While we are at it. Maybe we can stop them from breeding. Rant over.

.

Driver training needs to be looked at..it's terrible in my state. Answer a few easy q's and take a short road test...there you go.
It's too easy for anyone to drive a 2 ton car at almost any speed, within a few feet of another car, without the proper training.
