Sometimes this is necessary....
Like when you get run off the road and almost put into a steel road sign pole just in front of a bridge abutment on the GW Parkway by a totally shit-faced drunk driver in the middle of the day who is towing his 24-foot boat with his Dodge RAM 2500 Van, who had just come off the Potomac from a day of boating. Just sayin'

It's not murder if it's self defence. Murder is a crime, defending one's life, family or property isn't. I find the whole thing retarded. Both parties are wrong but the G driver is more wrong. And the idiot video taping it as if he's doing a good deed....almost got rear ended? well yeah stupid...too busy recording on your phone. He was even instigating "all talk...." and then when it wasn't all talk he was upset because he was almost in an accident. First sign of retardation on the road and I'm gone, far away....shit if I can't pass the arguing idiots I'll pull over and let them go, not worth getting involved to me. I value my property and life too much. And I don't want to waste my valuable time writing reports and making witness statements. |

In California, you can't defend property and shoot someone in the face. That's murder. |

Just checked...we have, 'Castle Law' which means we can defend any place we happen to be occupying at the moment from an assailant including a car'. Last edited by MKSixer; 02-13-2016 at 10:32 AM.. |

It's a whole other story in the Fit, which again, is fascinating to see. You get run off the road. People glare at you. Flip you off. Cut you off. Personally, I'm not bothered by this in the least. It's just extremely sad to see first hand how people are socialized to wealth and poverty in Southern California...how we treat others in the pecking order with either respect or disdain based on material goods. |

The road rager I just described had at me when I was driving a company car...Forest Green Ford Taurus. He had the vein bulging from the center of his forehead as if his head were about to explode. |

If I feel like my life is in danger, I'm sorry your getting shot. If you purposefully stop my car on the freeway, that is insane enough just right there for me to feel threatened of my life.

Last month, I was going 10kph over the speed limit on the freeway fast lane. I have a heightened sense of my surroundings when I drive and immediately noticed a 90's full-sized pickup truck with homemade wooden side-rails tailing me.
I noticed the truck was full of junk and even had rope holding it down. The driver was inches away from the windshield and was yelling in my direction. I switched lanes and made a mistake. I gave him the middle finger and the "Mankind" gesture. He then tried to swerve into my car from the side. As the highway ended and we both need to make a left at the red light. I stopped about 20 meters behind him. He got out and look as pissed as the guy in the video but in seasoned winter clothes. After the first few steps, I knew I was in deep. I turned of my TC, dialed it up and did a 2-3 second smoke show; only moving a foot or two forward. He kept coming at me! I dropped the clutch again when he was beside me and I think the button on his cuff scratched my car as I bolted to avoid him. There was a red light still and a blaring fire truck passed us. I told the guy he was a loser and drove off. I filed an insurance claim. I was disappointed when the adjuster said if I hit him, it would have been a collision claim rather than a comprehensive claim; effectively raising my premium. The sad thing is I used to do what that guy did for a living. |

Edit: G35/37.
Wait, or is it Q50, Q60, Q70? What?! So Birkenstock pulled a dick move and pissed off Disco Disco Good Good. However, based on personal experience, it's Point Breaks fault. However, without video nothing would hold up in court. |
