A similar but not violent thing happened to me not too long ago.
I was driving 60kmph (the limit) and some guy behind me started tailgating then high beaming then swerving left and right behind me, he then went into the wrong lane to get next to me before speeding past.
Some psychos on the road.

nothing more needs to be said.
but seriously why would the woman open her door? but if i was a woman by myself and some guy had been tailgating me then got out of his car and started heading towards mine i'd lock the doors and drive off, even if i had to run a red. hell, being a man i'd probably do the same thing, i'm 6'2 and could defend myself if needed but you never know if the guy is gonna pull a metal pole, knife or gun, so it's best to just try and avoid needing to defend myself.
Yeah I am same size as you and 90kg :P
But that is being big boned, I need gym work to get some rock hard mass muscles.
But even then every nut is armed these days.
You must be from Melbourne originally? How do you know the scummy areas lol?
Another episode not long ago, I joined the freeway and out of nowhere some junky looking bogan cuts in front of me from the far right lane and starts going mental at me whilst slowing down, making gun gestures with his hand like he is shooting at me, then he slowed down and was pointing for me to pull over in the emergency lane.
I seriously don't know wtf sparked his rage as I had just joined the freeway and he was already on it in the far right lane.
He was turning his head to look at me and was going nuts, so I started to go off back at him and was shouting "what" and had my arms out wide as in to gesture what.
Then he speeds off in the emergency lane and went out of sight.
My heart was still beating when I got home lol.

hey f*** you, we are road users to
stay in the right lane and we are cool. in the states it's cruise in the right lane, pass in the left lane. unfortantly, there are so many idiots that believe the left lane is the slow lane. get the fuck over before i pit you
When I lived in Chicago 5-6 years ago, I was driving on I-90 some jackass in a BMW (or Mercedes...don't remember) who had been tailgaiting me (in the right lane) and was clearly upset and swerving all over the place.
We get up to the toll (prior to the Ipass), the guy pulls up next to me and flicks his lit cigarette into my car!!!
I was pissed!!! I really wanted to get out of the car and pound his face in, but he pulled up, paid and was on his way.
He speeds off doing probably 100mph. About 5 miles down the road, everyone had to come to a stop. Wasn't sure what the deal was....most likely an accident as that's what people like to do on I-90!
By the time I got up to the front, that same guy had slammed his car into the median and it flipped over. In doing so, he also slammed into 2 other cars.
Not sure if the guy survived it or not, but his car was in pieces!
Karma?
I also stare into my rvm for a while, sometimes it works.
Unfortunately there's another portion of idiots who think that the left lane is the 'fast' lane. It's the passing lane, stay out of it until you need to pass, then get back into whatever lane you were in.
If you got some jackass tailgating you, try this (just don't do it going more than 45mph and with anyone behind him):
Tap on the brakes just enough to turn the brake lights on, but not enough to slow down. As soon as you do this, pull your e-brake (with the button held in) for a split second and release/put it back to normal.
What happens is the guy behind you sees your lights go on, and the e-brake causes your back tires to lock for a second. To him he thinks your coming to a screeching halt, but you don't even lose more than 3-5 mph.
He'll freak out like you wouldn't believe!!
I did that before and the guy behind me hit his breaks and was swerving all over the place! Good times!
If the guy needs to yell at me, I simply say, dude, "thats how people die."
She pulled into a gas station and started screaming at me, giving me not one, but two middle fingers, yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs, "you motherfucker, you honk your horn at me? you fuck I will kick your fucking ass, get out of your car and I will kick you in your nuts", she was livid. The worst case of road rage I have ever seen. I could not believe it. Even if I leaned on my horn and blasted it in her ear, it was such an overreaction that it was comical. All I could do was put the window down and in between laughing, yell to her to get help cause she was fucking nuts! Ever have anything like this happen to you?
Between this and your story on page 1, you're the last person I'd want to fuck with on the road. :shock:

Whats funny is all the shit I listed above are ALWAYS from idiots who drive toyotas.
I always brake check douche bags in hondas or any other modded car when they tailgate me look for a race or something. Just because mine is modded too doesn't mean I'm an immature 17 yr old who wants to street race. Last time I brake checked, the kid (who looked older than me) was pissed so he pulled up beside me. I flipped him the bird and told him to fuck off. Take your crappy car somewhere else and race someone else. Go get a reckless driving ticket while you're at it.

Yes, and I shit myself.
I honked at my friend in the next lane then two drugged up looking guys were going insane at me and swerved their car at mine, I had to swerve to avoid being swiped.
I then put the foot down on the pedal and luckily turned right into the other street as the traffic light was amber, just made it, the psychos were pursuing me.
I then turned left into some side street and quickly drove into someones driveway.
The fuckers went past, I waited a few moments then headed back to where I turned from and rushed home.
The adrenalin and heart beat were quite high I tell you.
Never honking at someone I know on the road again.
this can go on for about 15 minutes before they realize i'm fucking with them
I appreciate people
getting out the way
when I'm trying to pass
(especially in the leftmost lane, tools!)
However, if I'm in no rush,
I love a leisurely drive
down a leaf-strewn avenue,
watching the nervous Purvis behind me
slowly start to freak out.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Cheers.
