What would you do is someone rudely cuts in front of you while driving?
Well....not much. If it's a dangerous act I would honk but if its just rude I would let it be. You have to think, maybe that person just got a call saying his brother was injured in a bad car crash or his wife is giving birth, etc. I'm sure if that was your case you would also be trying to get there fast. I'm not saying that's always the case but it could be.
This happends all the time in Japan, people are constantly rushing, especialy on the highway. Just let it be.
If it happens to me I usually think that maybe the person driving is in a hurry for some reason I sometimes blast my horn and give the two finger salute .... isnt it better to get where you are going safely than arrive in an ambulance !!?
I just take a deep breath and ignore it. I have learnt not to let road behaviour spoil my day. Of course, if it was negligent, dangerous or abnormal driving then I normally report it to the police.
Forget about the rude bit and ensure that I don't hit the cretin's car.
Breathe and assume that a bee just flew into their car and they're fighting it off while trying to navigate the roads.
I believe in Karma, if they cut in front of you. In time, they will get cut by another driver. I guess it's the driver's curse.
I believe in the power of prayer. God, give him a flat tire and while he's out fixing it, let his pants fall to his knees. Let it be caught on the evening news and then, bless the rest of his day. My vindication passes and then I wait with anticipation for the evening news!
I once heard a man tell a story of what happened to him while driving, a woman in a red sports car tried to cut in front of him as he was driving to work (he worked at a local hospital), he got mad, and he veered, heading her off and almost causing an accident, she got on the shoulder and maneuvered her way forcefully in front of him and got away. He fumed all the way to work. When he got there, he spotted the red car in the parking lot and went into the hospital looking for her to give her a piece of his mind, but stopped cold when he found out that on the back seat she had her little boy having a very dangerous asthma attack that couldn't be controlled at home. She was driving him to the ER.
Not everyone who cuts in front of you wants to take advantage or ruin your day, just ignore them, chill out!
There's a Colt 1911 with frangible rounds in the glove box for a reason, and if there isn't there should be. Aim for the rear tire as you pass, and time it so he's taking a wide turn so he goes off the shoulder.
