All of them were for ridiculous reasons. Best one was because I was in a lane at a light turning left and he was going right. The lane is a lane where you can make both a right and left turn. I was in front of him and he was so impatient that he drove on the shoulder, pulled up next to me, screaming and flipped me off then went ahead and turned right.

I just smile and wave when people do that.

I suppose another time was when a woman pulled up next to me at a light and was screaming at me and flipping me off. To this day I have no idea why she was mad at me. I honestly have no idea what I did. I think she mistook me for another driver because I did absolutely nothing notably aggressive.

DC area has some of the worst and most impatient drivers I have encountered in the country so far. I told my friends that those drivers are the perfect examples of the "self-important" attitude that I don't care much. Twice in the last two weeks when I was making a left turn on to Army Navy Drive from 27/395 exit ramp, the car behind me decided to squeeze through the space behind me to make the left turn ahead of me regardless of that there were oncoming traffic from the opposite side. They couldn't wait few more seconds to allow the oncoming traffic to pass first but had to go first before others because they feel their time is more important and is worth risking safety of other drivers.

Ok, first of all I have to say I HATE when people make vertical videos and post them. Normally I refuse to watch them at all. This one is just too good, skip to about half way through. Sweet, Sweet justice.

it's worth it to invest in a dashcam.

Driver was a moron for sticking to the left lane and blocking the truck when she could have moved over quite a few times. I'm glad the truck didn't hit any oncoming cars when he lost it. Had she moved, it wouldn't have happened.

Totally agree. I've seen that vid before and my very first thought was that the person shooting the video was purposely blocking the left lane. The truck driver was a moron and deserves a ticket, but the person shooting the video also deserves a ticket for obstructing traffic.

Truck driver handled this badly....left lane blocker was deliberately provocative and paying more attention to her handheld phone camera than to driving...I would BAN her for 12 months and ticket him for road rage......

CalCarNut · 05-10-2016, 12:27 PM

^ yes. She even showed her speed to show she was in the 'right' and was being tailgated. Doesn't matter...MOVE over and let them go. It's called the passing lane for a reason. She deserves a ticket for causing the accident.
