224039» <KP9000> an escalated episode of road rage ended strangely well today
224054» <KP9000> and has left me with a sliver of faith in humanity
224103» <KP9000> (as opposed to none)
224128» <KP9000> guy was stopped at the red light, which turned green as I approached
224154» <KP9000> I was in the lane to the right of him, which was open and about to end just past the stop light
224214» <KP9000> I had more than enough room to drive past him without speeding up
224220» <KP9000> in time to merge over
224227» <KP9000> he sped up, on purpose
224252» <KP9000> then, in an effort to make the merge, I sped up too. I made it, but he got irritated for some reason
224303» <KP9000> blared his brights at me
224310» <KP9000> so I slowed down to 10 MPH
224333» <KP9000> he shut his brights off, and we both proceeded to accelerate to 45 MPH again
224426» <KP9000> I merge over into the right lane, and slow down
224439» <KP9000> I get behind him and turn my KC overhead lights on
224443» <KP9000> those things are fucking BRIGHT
224510» <KP9000> so he tried to mimic me and clow down like I did to him
224535» <KP9000> knowing he would do it, I merged back over.
224605» <KP9000> we both ended up at the Circle K, to get gas
224619» <KP9000> he walked up to me all pissed off
224633» <KP9000> I stayed calm, and decided to try something new
224651» <KP9000> since I felt confident, with the machete on the dash and all
224659» <KP9000> (long story there too)
224714» <KP9000> I said "Let's try something new"
224730» <KP9000> "let's sort this out like civilized people"
224737» <KP9000> he lookes at me, confused
224753» <KP9000> "Let's be adults and use our words" I said.
224820» <KP9000> we sat there talking for about 30 minures
224823» <KP9000> minutes*
224849» <KP9000> told him how stupid his reaction was, and he told me how stupid mine was to his
224857» <KP9000> all in a calm civilized manner
225026» <KP9000> I got back in my truck and say out loud to myself
225028» <KP9000> what the fuck
225031» <KP9000> and drive away
225108» <KP9000> need I remind you this happened in the county where the insurance rates are the highest
225124» <KP9000> so you know that the drivers were complete shit
Still wondering what the fuck happened here.

Sounds like one of those episodes you would tell your grandchildren one day.

So why do you have a truck, anyway?

You all shall be my grandchildren today.

I have a truck because I have to commute 20 miles to and from work every day, 40 miles total. As for the utility aspect of the truck itself, I move shit all the time. I also like to drive on 4 wheel drive trails, and off-road altogether. I actually have two trucks... one of them is broken, but i still have it because it's a parts vehicle. The truck I replaced the old one with is the same year, make, and model. Makes things slightly simpler.

Sounds like the request for a civil discussion managed to snap him out of his rage, out of shock.

So car accidents are that common where you live? Any reason why? :/

No easily discernable reason.... But the drivers here are absolutely horrible. It's like the majority of the whole of the US Motorists just decided to live in this Phoenix/Mesa valley of AZ for some reason. I've been other places, even in AZ, that aren't /nearly/ as bad.

I keep a machete on the dash because it's big and intimidating. Yeah, it sounds a little pretentious, but it actually saved my life once. When an accident almost happens, and when people get out of their vehicles, I bust that mofugga out and they're gone.
