StoryTime : ROAD RAGE Man Gets Out Of Truck To Confront Me (WARNING : EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

[@chase6428]

I like explicit language version of Jeff, is seems more personal and more real.

[@Donna677.]

You handled it well. This world is full of angry people. Good on ya!

[@armorersapprentice6368]

Here's the thing Cutlery Lover, if you flip people off you can expect to get into situations like this.

[@unkGUAM]

yup

[@fount4in]

"Had I not given him the finger he probably wouldn't have gotten out" --CutleryLover, this video, fully aware of this fact.

[@sportscarman5]

Everyone makes mistakes. I love how there are so many people in the comments are perfect and have never made a mistake.

[@ps3rocker96]

Your a wise man speaking from the heart and soul love your vids man

[@afternoont1135]

I got sucker punched, and a knife pulled on me about a week ago in a road rage incident, and I swear as soon as i calmed down this video is one of the first things that popped in my head. I didn't do everything right either, but I learned a lot from the experience, and hopefully I can avoid it in the future. thanks for sharing.

[@pnwadventurer9674]

Dude im so proud of how you handled this, like a man or shall i say a responsible man and married man, me being a veteran with ptsd i do alot of shit people don not understand but i am getting better at it and seeing how and listening to how you resolved it put it into perspective for me and i thank you for that alot, keep up the awesome clips, love ya man.

[@vikingbrowski3718]

if someone gives you the finger you give them the finger back its that simple. Anyone who thinks its ok hunt someone down cause they gave you the finger must have anger issues. little kids have flipped me off before, and i just shake my head cuz they kids, and when adults do it i just flip them off back. some of yall are crazy.

[@cutlerylover]

+viking Mckim thats really where it should have ended a finger back...

[@jeffelson4119]

+cutlerylover I'm sorry but finger forward or back was not the way to handle the problem. What does the finger signify? I think it means F you which based on your excellent discussion of male aggression and related things will generally result in someone taking offense and sometimes believing they have been "called out" and their manhood questioned. It isn't how it should have "ended" but the real issue is how it should not have "started". Love you man, but you are wrong here.

[@vikingbrowski3718]

Kilo Watt where im from if someone wants to call you out they call you out. just saying. the middle finger stands for FU not im calling you out which i guess some people think that is what it means. but when the old man flips off the kids tearing up his yard i never thought he was challenging them to a fight.

[@MrAgnosticman]

+viking Mckim I had this one occasion where i was turning right and there's lots of traffic. finally i get a break when a truck was turning into my road. so i wait until i'm sure he is turning and i make my turn. not 10 seconds after i finish turning there's a woman in a older model car right behind me and she honks her horn. So at this point i knew what i did was totally fine, no one could have gotten hurt and i had enough time to turn and this lady is just pissed that she couldn't sped past the truck like she wanted to. so i blow it off. then i look in the mirror and she flips me off. then i said well fuck you too lady and flipped her off. she gets pissed but turns off the street. thats where road rage should end. the exchange of fingers and a parting of ways. nothing ever good come out of people getting out of their cars.

[@vikingbrowski3718]

MrAgnosticman right flipping someone off is common when driving. usually the other person can not hear you, and you want to let them know they pissed you off using sign language kinda. I think that is much different than walking up in someones face on the street, and flipping them off 4 inches from their face.

[@MisterEmoto]

It really took this video to wake me up to how mad I get driving. as soon as I identified with the guy driving the truck, I realised I have a problem. Thanks for the video geoff. Never realized I come off as a douche like that. No bueno.

[@TomCogan]

You need a dash cam for the Chrysler Jeff.

[@myshowTM]

Your storytime videos are my favorite! People can say what they want but damn Jeff you can tell a story like no other.

[@taolandin]

A similar thing happened to me. I was backing out of a parking space and I guess a guy decided I was too slow and sped his car up as if to hit the side of my car (my side) only to brake 6 inches from my door and gave me the death stare. I turned to look at him. Gave him a warm smile and a lazy salute. Then I proceeded drive off feeling like a boss.

[@DylanDaVillian1]

Good choice.

[@axeavier]

+Rad Bromance that is pretty hillarious, ty for the story. Next time I get into a negative altercation, I'll turn into Mr.Rogers.

[@ussiyiness]

+Axe Avier I actually laughed. I'll try that too.

[@geraldwest3428]

Just keep driving, forget about it. The only time to react is when it becomes a clear imminent threat.

[@KylesCustoms]

Jeff, you are the realist KZbinr. As always, thanks for your awesome vids

[@OldPackMule]

You were absolutely right about not teaching someone a lesson. As soon as you think your going to do that or let them know who's right your going the wrong direction.

[@ronnieleehurstmusic]

Great advice. Your maturity is refreshing to see. I will share this video with my son. Thanks

[@mickbator6979]

That one little finger can really stir up some trouble. Glad to hear it didn't escalate too far, remember Gus needs you.

[@Berzerk29]

You did the right thing brother. In situations like this I try to do everything in my power to de escalate. It really is never worth it. You and I are from the road rage capital of America, so I see it almost daily.

[@gibson_smiles]

Great video, Jeff. You have a lot of wisdom and it's fun listening to you talk.

[@jacobjohnson2116]

Agreed, Jeff is your typical gun loving guy down to earth kind of guy that makes me wish more people where like him

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Also, I stopped flipping people off, I just blow kisses at them now. AMAZING what that does to people psychologically. ... "If you were a good father"... Lol, HERE we go!

[@HumanN8ture]

I second the blowing kisses! Plus it makes you laugh, and that’s always a good time.

[@jdo2574]

Simple solution, don't give people the finger. Its gas on the fire that is just starting.

[@kevinkanzler6281]

yeah, he said that's what he thinks set him off. If you want to avoid confrontation definitely don't do anything that could escalate it.

[@JohnSmith-lh2ol]

Almost get into a car wreck because of someones assholeness and then type your reaction

[@peptobismol9]

You are one of the most agreeable people I've seen on KZbin. Subbed.

[@jaga121]

I drive for a living, and used to feel a lot of road rage, and I have had my encounters with other drivers. My advice, whether you're in the right or not, if someone thinks you cut them off, throw up the peace sign, not the middle finger. Easier said than done sometimes, but it lets everyone get on with their day better.

[@checkmateking2854]

+Bucephalus better way is just don't acknowledge them at all but to each his own

[@StrategicMadness]

When you carry a deadly weapon you have a responsibility to be the wiser, more mature, more rational individual in any situation - if it ever happens again just repeat to yourself the line from the movies - "With great power comes great responsibility", anything less is being the fool

[@TheRifleAdict]

Great story man you are the best at telling them no matter what the topic is

[@grizzley9417]

Great story Jeff. I rarely comment on any videos, but I used to be the same way when I was younger. I used to go road rage crazy no matter whose fault it was. Luckily now being 43 and the father of 3 I very very rarely get angry at stuff like this anymore. I had a situation where I guy wouldn't let me over the other day and I needed to get on the highway. So I came on over anyway. The guy was honking and screaming at me, etc etc etc. He didn't follow me.....maybe because I drive a lifted 'O3 f150 with a sticker on the back that says "I love my pitbull" but that's really beside the point. When he was screaming and cussing me and blaring on his horn, I just gave him a smile and a wave and moved on. It really takes a LOT To make me angry these days and I'm thankful for that. All in all this situation turned out not so bad for everyone. The guy got to walk back to his truck with his family, pissed off or not, and everything turned out ok. Much better than lying there with holes in him. 👍

[@plamen2110]

Great philosophy bud! This helps me because I can relate. My wife has suffered the consequences of me being a knucklehead on the road. Thank God I've come to my senses more and more. Thank you for posting this!

[@ThomasConnolly]

As a gun owner, you need to have a more calm demeanor. It seems your reaction to things, causes a lot of the problems.

[@Sabbathbloodysabbath666]

Thomas Connolly are you not aware that he basically is saying that this whole video? Jesus you’re dumb

[@kevinx9225]

Thanks for sharing. I read responses from so many perfect people here who never open up and share their life story.

[@PurpleGearss]

Jeff your channel is awesome, I wasn't even half interested in knives, tools, survival, etc, anything before finding your channel. I just enjoy your discussions and hearing your input on things, keep doing what you do, you won't lose this subscriber.

[@Gabyramirez94]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I totally related to this as a woman. I actually had a very similar road rage experience recently like yours but with another woman. My first experience like this I might add. She followed me into a parking lot and blocked me so I couldn’t leave and wanted me to get out of my car. I didn’t so she got out and started yelling and screaming at me. We exchanged some words but ultimately I made the decision to not feed into her rage or escalate the issue because like you said you just don’t know who you are dealing with. So I managed To calm down , and I acknowledged she was angry which just through her off and eventually she left me alone. Then she picked a fight with another woman in the parking lot because she thought she had been recording. But I’m sure that says a lot about the type of person she is. But you are right in saying that these things happen in a matter of seconds and lives could be changed if we let out anger get the best of us over things that are not worth it. It made me feel better to hear about your experience, thanks for sharing.

[@paradox7xx]

When I got my concealed carry, my demeanor had to change because any fight I get into is now suddenly an armed conflict. Now my first priority is to get away, I don't care who is right or wrong I just want to get out of there. I also never escalate the situation, no middle fingers, no cussing at people, I will apologize and get the hell out of there. I'm not going to "throw my gun down and give him a fist fight", what the hell am I going to gain from that? The gun is there for a reason, it never comes off, and I do absolutely everything possible to not have to use it. You're awesome jeff, but you might want to rethink your tactics, this situation should have been completely avoided.

[@M60gunner1971]

Frog Morton offers his protection...I love your videos man, keep'em coming!!

[@animusmeus11]

Great story time. Covered a topic I think a lot about. Thanks Jeff.

[@BairyxHalls]

and this whole situation could been avoided by NOT giving him the finger.. never give people the finger. wave at them like they were still a little baby :)

[@cutlerylover]

+BairyHalls yeah

[@NormireX]

+BairyHalls I just stare them down with an evil stare letting them know that I am not happy with them, I don't know if they see me or not, but it makes me feel better.heh Usually do this when people are speeding past me going way over the speed limit and not using their turn signal when passing. That is a pet peeve of mine, you should always use your turn signal when passing and at stop lights no matter if you are on a rural or urban road. I also can't stand creepers, you know those people that creep through a 4-way turning left when they should have stayed at the stop light. But yeah I never give the finger, just the stare. Agree though, this particular situation would never have happened if Jeff wouldn't have flipped him off. That guy was in the wrong as well though from the sounds of things.

[@G36Jeff]

Fuck that. Fuck that guy and fuvk u for being scared. People are assholes and sometimes they need to know it

[@BLdontM]

+cutlerylover Sigh.... don't flip them off. Come on Jeff... What I do when I know I just pissed someone off on the road is I give them a big smile. That usually pisses them off even more. But flipping them off is asking to start something.

[@dextercharles4269]

+BairyHalls i have actually gotten good at giving a variety of different waves. i have one that is as dismissive as giving the finger, and when i give it the person feels as dismissed as if i gave the finger...... but they are just mostly confused instead of angry since i didnt give the finger.

[@farmninja6653]

I'm sure everybody has been in your situation. You handled it the best you could and that's all anyone could do. You set a good example for other people. Everybody needs to need to try and talk things out before things get out of control. I think other people admire reasoning power over fighting power. It doesn't mean you can't fight but it means you know you have other choices. You're supposed to handle things in a civil matter when given the option otherwise we'd be no different than animals.

[@roentgen571]

Big respect, man. You show the totally mature mindset of a responsible grownup. The thing about assessing other guys, though... one of the things about doing martial arts like judo or BJJ or wrestling (a combative sport, IOW), is you quickly learn how you really SHOULDN'T think "oh, I can kick this guy's ass." Yeah, maybe he's 4" shorter and 10 years older and 50 pounds lighter....but maybe he was a state level collegiate wrestler. You never know.

[@multanemo]

I never flip people off anymore. I just wave thanks and smile or do nothing. You actually escalated the situation.

[@HANDGUNADDICT]

Jeff, .....best video you have made in a while ! I had the EXACT same scenario happen to me, right down to how it all played out... You are SPOT ON ! Thanks for sharing

[@MrOmarhamidoo]

Thank you Jeff for sharing your story I have gotten into road rage and I acted stupid and almost got into an accident and I totally regret doing that after watching your video. I'm glad you didn't do anything stupid and ruined your and your wife's life.

[@fernandolorde9131]

Glad u put this on you tube. I applaud your actions. I got a lot from this video. Thank you.

[@ddayinvader6487]

you are a very respectful and honorable man. God Bless You.

[@7Westwood]

Words of wisdom.... Glad you kept your cool.... Thanks for sharing the story.

[@doylesinclair4499]

I think you handled that perfectly, BUT, if he had approached me like that, I would have had my gun pulled and in my lap ready to go just in case he tried to pull me out of that car. Traffic-wise, I don't give the finger, and when things happen to me like what happened to you, the road rage thing, I wave to them like they did me a favor. . . which probably pisses them off even more, but that's just my bonus.

[@avalon747]

Dude when you have millions of people on the road driving around under stressful conditions, things will happen. But when you give people the finger you force things to degenerate quickly into a physical confrontation. You can confront people without going there. Just remember it's "road rage" its just not worth going to jail over.

[@krazy45cat]

WTG Jeff it could of been really bad if any weapons were used .Glad to see you understand how fast things can go wrong ,Gerry .

[@HEATBEARSSOX]

great vid Jeff! Young guy with a kinda quick car gets into this stuff every once in a blue moon.

[@MrSenset]

Whereas I do believe mistake were made on both sides at the beginning it looks like you were the first to start "snapping out of it" and regain your level head. That's good. Something I've learned from my experience with concealed carry and the research I've done is that because *you* are armed, you are held to a *higher* moral standard and responsibility then someone who is not carrying concealed. You might try to resist giving the finger in the future.

[@satansonion2104]

If you're going to carry a firearm you can't get into fistfights. Period.

[@user-jr7ww2gf1h]

Yea get in gun fights man

[@cutlerylover]

+Satan'sOnion carryuing a gun does not change how you react to people and shouldnt if a personj wishes to fist fight me my options arent to shoot them or just get beat up, lol, the gun is an option and an option only

[@satansonion2104]

[@XDM50]

Hey Jeff, Great story and a fantastic talk. I'm proud of you. Thanks for keeping it real. Duane

Good talk, good logic, nice retrospective.....thanks....hope the younger guys listen to this....we've all been there....

[@cutlerylover]

+Julius Gonzo yeah, some people got the message and I hope it helped some to keep calm in bad situations and try to get out of it safely without violence, sadly some people missed the message and decided toi just take sides with the guy who acted poorly, lol I admit to being wrong in flipping the bird, but some people watched the video and only thought wow Jeffs a dick, lol sucks they dont see the big picture

ayy i like your stories keep em up

[@lezarathustra]

I found your channel a few minutes ago, it popped up in 'maybe you're interested videos', saw your recent Ganzo review, saw the 'bob-a-loo' cigar review, and now this one... great message man. The guy was probably a good fella, you seem like a good fella, but it all gets messed up for whatever frustrations we have in the moment and, as you say, shit just happens. Subbed the channel, as I see lots of reviews to watch... greetings from Portugal!

[@ejejjeje]

I always give a sarcastic thumbs up. As in 'good job buddy, good job'

[@gammaray6465]

[@driftcat7076]

Only person I could sit and listen to for almost half an hour lol

[@bubbagreen]

Glad things did not escalate. In my state of MN two days ago during a road rage incident a lady was shot 4 times after honking a another car. She is expected to survive and this happened during rush hour traffic in a construction zone.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

There was a road rage situation here in Brisbane a few months ago. Both men ended out of their cars on a major highway standing toe to toe,. Unfortunately one man ended up being hit and killed by a truck. How this happened will be determined before a judge at some stage.

[@Moostery]

I don't get road rage. Then again I'm extremely hard to get mad.

[@Filipinogenetics]

Nice video bro. My road rage is getting better, but I still let loose sometimes. You never know who has a gun that'll use it on ya just b/c you mean mug them

[@Privat3Kag3]

The line between Ass kickin, & Death is so thin. I honestly don't think i would ever take the chance.

[@Privat3Kag3]

+ProSTEEL RAIN 18:45 Lol I am 6ft 6in 50/50 muscle/fat Sorta Kinda intimidating

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

It happens. I have learned through my life what kind of man I am. When I grew into manhood, I had a lot of growing up to do. My perspective changed when I was younger, and out drinking with friends, and a fight broke out. A broken piece of tooth belonging to guy who I punched in the mouth, got imbedded in my left middle knuckle. I didn't realize that it was in my knuckle until after we left. I got a massive infection in my hand, and it moved up my arm. it was full of puss, and I was inches away from amputation. A week in the hospital on an IV, and I made it through. Sometimes even if you do "beat their ass" it can go very badly for you. When you know who you are, and what you are capable of doing, you will no longer feel the need to prove yourself, and escalate the situation. I'm all for cooling of a heated situation. Things can turn badly fast.

[@DAS-Videos]

Jeff did what grown men do, well done. I always thought road rage only happened with young guys but it sounded like this knucklehead was middle aged. It takes a strong man to say "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that". You won't even remember it in a few hours of doing what you planned to do that day. Beating someone up because they made you hit the brakes hard is no good. If you win the guy might find your home and set it on fire in the middle of the night.

[@Kee2Oz]

I remember a story my uncle told me about a road rage experience that happened to him years ago. I forget the details but he apparently pissed off another driver. My uncle was and still is very confrontational, not a bully or really aggressive, just not about to give up an inch. He's cursed with the 'big nuts' syndrome. They both got out and met between their pickup trucks when the other guy pulled a pistol. This happened on a small road out in the middle of nowhere down in south Texas. My uncle turned and walked back to his truck. He said that was the longest short walk of his life, expecting to be shot in the back any second.

[@goodnameyt6675]

I feel like watching Falling Down. lol

[@gabenemeth7012]

you are an inspirational man Jeff i have a lot of respect for you.

[@mikedifeo8344]

The best way to avoid road rage is to not allow the other individual to get to you. The moment you gave him the finger you allowed him to get to you. I drive a lot, I always pack when I drive, and I never give the other driver a reason for rage. It just isn't worth it, no matter who is at fault. The way I see it is not worth having to shoot someone over a road rage incident. And too many people are just on the edge and sometimes it just takes a look to make them explode. You, as well as the other driver, were very lucky. And I hope both, you and the other guy, learned something from it.

[@HumanN8ture]

As hard as it may be, it's simply luck of the draw that the guy wasn't a complete lunatic and ready to take things all the way. You never know who you're dealing with on the road. Defensive driving should always be at the forefront. I've fallen for it just as others may have, but you have to remind yourself that any slight in that moment, means nothing! Stay on defense and get to your destination safely!

[@christianokamura9419]

Hey Jeff you look really good, great job with the weight loss. Keep up the great work love the videos :)

[@ZGADOW]

Sounds like you handled the situation correctly. I've learned the road rage lesson the hard way , and I'm glad you don't have to. I had a pistol pointed in my face because I gave someone the finger. Be safe!

[@AbsolutelyPants]

Glad you shared friend. I love your storytime videos.

[@marlonmendez5176]

Bro logic: Guy flips you off in front of your family, you drive 45mph in a parking lot, curse a lot in front of them, and start a fight like a good role model. Great job Dad, your kids will be in jail in no time.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

+Marlon Mendez Wonder how many slaps his wife tanks per week.

[@glennfrazier4873]

Marlon Mendez Ho logic: Cut someone off, use vulgar gestures, then brandish multiple weapons when person.... not hitting me or my vehicle.... asks why I would do such a thing endangering his wife and children. I'd like to see how you'd act in that situation mrs. Mendez.

[@IratusJackalope]

As a young single man, damn if I had a dime for every instance of road rage beat-downs I'd have a pocket full of coins. After the kids came... Only twice and both times I deescalated... So I feel you.

[@bobbyb608]

"When people piss me off on the road, I fuck with them" aaaaaaaand that's EXACTLY why I have ranch hand bumpers on my truck.

[@bobbyb608]

If you REALLY want to fuck with someone, pull on the emergency brake. You'll start slowing down without the brake lights coming on.

[@bobbyb608]

When he slid in front of you, you should have pulled up so he couldn't open his driver door

[@andrewwilliams8187]

Sounds like an angry guy looking for a fight. Well handled J

[@MidwayShooter]

You are carrying a concealed firearm, why are you escalating a road range incident by flipping someone the finger?

[@meatstick6969]

Exactly. If you're carrying concealed you've got to think differently because firearms are involved however people don't think about that sometimes in the heat of the moment.

[@cutlerylover]

+MidwayShooter just because I carry a gun does not mean I plan to use it, as mentioned in the video and demonstrated by my actions, your comment is better suited for the guy who decide to pull his gun for intimidation...not me

[@MidwayShooter]

+cutlerylover no, because you are carrying a firearm you don't do ANYTHING to escalate a bad encounter that could go bad . Question, would you have flipped him the bird if your wife was in the car with you? And if so how would you feel if the other guy had a gun and harmed her? You would be responsible.

[@TheSleepy1326]

Jeff, I think the apology diffused the situation even more than the neck knife did.

[@TrevorLawrence666]

you should do some more storytime videos!

[@judofry]

I remember seeing just an awkward road rage incident, a man and woman started yelling at each other in heavy traffic (one cut the other off) and they were flipping each other the bird and cussing each other out while stuck in traffic and then they ended up pulling up to the same gas station...and awkwardly half heartedly kept arguing

[@luckybro315]

Jeff, I love you man and, as a fellow CCW permit holder, I’m concerned about your mindset. Those who carry must go out of their way to avoid conflict and confrontations. We must be more mellow and discreet with an easy-going attitude. We take the high road. We would never flip-off somebody no matter what they did. For example, in slow traffic, before pulling out in front of another vehicle, roll down your window, get eye contact with the other driver, wave in a friendly manner with a smile, use your body language to ask permission to pull out, and give a friendly wave afterwards. If you accidentally do something that sets someone off, quickly apologize, say that you made a mistake and you did a stupid thing. Do and say whatever it takes to deescalate the situation. Do your best to seem submissive (but only in your outward appearance, not internally, in case things escalate). Run/drive away if you must and can. There’s no shame in running away in order to prevent a potentially dangerous situation from getting out of hand. Just keep an eye on the other person in case they start to come after you and you are forced to turn and engage. Prevention and deescalation must be high priorities in the mindset of a CCW permit holder.

[@MaJieKeMan]

I love how so many people here have such a negative reaction to a story that was told by one of the more fair, moral, and honest youtubers here. Jeff shared a story to everyone, not sparing any of the details. Thank you Jeff, for your continued honesty and morality. Always a pleasure to watch your videos :)

[@reinvestorintally]

Whether one is right or wrong, one shouldn't provoke the idiots. Giving the finger is a sure way to provoke the idiots.

[@yuureihaiku]

I never had a case of road rage. Its too silly! Day after day i watch people running around doing stupid stuff in their car and for what? Where the fuck are they going that is do important they just gotta get there as quick as possible. 30 years of driving no tickets, no arguments with aholes, no wreaks. So l just smile when people cut me off cause i know they have no such record. 😃

[@TacticalTupperware]

Jeff, you got pepper spray? That's a good first level defense to have in your car.

[@cameron9322]

he has everything else if he doesn’t have that lol

[@MrHeavyMetalRocker1]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Carrying a weapon is never intended for absolutely every situation. It's o oh when your life is in serious danger. If someone wants to fight me legit I'll fight him.

[@VinnyS9143101982]

Dude being a Police Crossing Guard I know NEVER underestimate a car. Whether I'm walking, driving or on duty I NEVER give them a chance.

[@Rhodesian_Slav]

You did the best you could, we're all human & you did the best thing, funny thing is this exact situation actually happened with me in a parking lot too last month and he actually hit me when he tried swerving around.

[@mitchellgardner2193]

12:00 I pictured the scene from predator, when he takes off all his weaponry & mask to fight Arnold. 😂

[@y_te]

Probably just don't flip people off then.

[@chemoautotroph]

You did the right thing by defusing the situation. I personally, would have lock the door roll up my window, ignored him altogether, back up and find a way around him. I do carry a gun too but as long as I'm inside my car locked up, and I have an escape route there's no excuse for me to even flash it. I wouldn't even bother to give him the time of day.

[@chipdouglas3565]

I once experienced a road-rage situation very similar to yours. The guy chased me in the parking lot of a restaurant, parked in front of me, stepped out of his car and was fuming. I soon found out he was an old man that didn't seem like a threat, though I did watch his hands just in case. In the end, I didn't want to be responsible for causing him a heart attack, so I just apologize to him, even though I'd done nothing wrong. He was just a very anxious old man. The reason he got mad, was he was 20 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. At 20 km/h, you're just barely moving and he didn't like that I was tail gating him, which I wasn't, as I kept a two-car distance between my car and his. Personally, as long as someone doesn't lay a hand on me, I'm ok with verbal insults.
