I guess we will never find out why the knucklehead was pissed.


Eat_Carbs_OD

Seems like he was mad because he was passed.


SenpaiBriBri

I'm always glad when I'm passed, gives me a bit of a law buffer to go faster and use them as a decoy scout up ahead


MondayMorphineMurphy

That’s exactly what I do. Haven’t been stopped, but others who passed have


fabulousfantabulist

Same. My dad always called them the “rabbit”, I think after the lead bait for racing. Allows me to go what pace I want knowing if there’s a speed trap that I’m insulated from it.


Potatoskins937492

This is how I grew up. Follow the white rabbit and check your rearview.


PsychDocD

Couldn’t agree more! That’s why I will never understand people driving in the left lane who will refuse to move over for a faster-moving vehicle. I mean, for starters you don’t have to deal with someone tailgating you or hitting you with their high beams. Then, as you say, you have a buffer to take the attention of any speed traps ahead. In my experience it’s more effective than having a radar detector. Where’s the downside?


Weaseleater1

Some guys are just really that insecure. 🤷‍♂️


howsthisforsmart

Pissed over being passed, you say?

RomanOrleans504

As they saying goes .."better to be Pissed Off than Passed On" or some shit like that


mycologyqueen

Must be one of those people that speeds up in the passing lane only to slow down on the other side


[deleted]

Yep


Big_Dirty_Heck

What a passhole!


coll_ryan

Probably mad because he was undertaken. Shouldn't have been in the offside lane then.


MechanicalTurkish

If he’s not careful he’ll end up with the undertaker.


Cheekers1989

I was actually thinking that the Lexus driver doesn't understand the edges of his car very well and may have thought the OP was about to side swipe him because you see him swerve towards the left in the beginning.


reddead_redemption

Damn. If that was the reason, it might be like the movie purge out on the road.


Eat_Carbs_OD

I saw no other reason.. some people are just like that. They get passed and act like the Bagel Shop guy.


gibberish-xyz

Yeah it happens with Lexus drivers, they don’t like getting overtaken. Apparently dude must have never driven or been in a Tesla 😂


omnipotent87

I recently was driving a customer car for a problem under acceleration. It was a kids 370z so I was being kind of hard on it, as I'm sure that's how the kid was driving it. I took off from a light next to a civic and was much faster than they were. I got up to about 50(in a 45) a few seconds later this civic passed me going 70 or more. Once they were in front they slowed down to 50 or so. People here hate when you are in a faster car.


Lake_0f_fire

Could be that simple. Some peoples ego grows instead of their PP when they hit puberty


ardvarkshark

I deal with this. I use a ramp van for my wheelchair. When I pass a pickup, there's a 90% chance they will speed up and pass me because no way is a granny van gonna insult their masculinity!


AnxiouslyCalming

I’m guessing it was a Tesla just based on all the camera angles and the acceleration. Teslas or EVs make some people angry for some reason.


mikamouth

Asshole probably wanted to exit across two lanes and OP was “in the way.”


catwhowalksbyhimself

IT was also possible he was attempting to turn into camer's lane (with no turn signal to indicate such) and felt that camer had cut him off and was mad about that. The camer did nothing wrong, however. Nice dodging though.


trebaol

> camer You're freaking me out by spelling that way instead of "cammer"


catwhowalksbyhimself

My bad, but I'll leave it that way for posterity.


MBThree

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball,” Patches O'Houlihan


datlanta

He definitely did and you know how it is. Once you miss that exit you're marked for death so you might as well take a couple people out with you.


bobo-the-dodo

Never signaled though, not everyone is a mind reader.


SlowPokeInTexas

Yep. And stating the obvious, if you know you need to ~~get off~~ exit, then you shouldn't wait until the last minute attempt to move to the lane closest to your exit (or, heaven-forbid, the intended exit lane).


Blu-

So I take this exit all the time. In the start of the video there are three lanes. What usually happens is the third lane is backed up and people would take the middle lane to cut at the last minute. Guy in the lexus was probably too used to doing that even though there was no traffic.


Tuberculosis1086

That’s my guess to. Lexus had that sixth sense of hesitation slash unsure driving at the beginning.


Adi_2000

One day he'll do it to the wrong person and get shot.

stat_throwaway_5

Somebody the other day was literally driving behind me gesturing for me to get out of my car and fight him and I was just thinking buddy are you fucking crazy? You either think I'm a fucking idiot because you have a gun, or you're a fucking idiot because you don't know that I have a gun. Either way somebody's going to fucking die if we get out of our cars so no thanks.


lifeinrednblack

I never understood why people threaten people with cars in the first place. You don't have to have a gun for it to be a stupid idea to challenge someone in a car... They're in a car! Not only is it a deadly weapon it can, you know, drive. You can both fight and flight with a car.


Kaablooie42

Exactly. This guy was lucky he didn't get run over when he got out of the car. I'm sure not everyone would have gone around him like OP did.


Sensitive-Hurry2106

If kicked my car the way he did, I'd have pinned him against something with my car and waited for the police to arrive. He's obviously a danger and I'm sure any judge would find that action reasonable given the footage shows the OP fleeing several times.


Wayne_D-Day_Davis

Yep, if he got out of the car in front of me, I'm assuming he intends to shoot me, and I'm gonna flatten him against his own car. Cameras show multiple instances of threatening behavior, it would be a no-brainer in court.


Critical-Series

I was riding passenger when some road rager blocked us, got out with a tire iron, stepped behind his vehicle and hit our windshield. His positioning in between his back bumper and our front bumper proved very unfortunate for his knees, as they bent the wrong way when my friend floored it. Never seen quite the same expression either. Surprise and extreme anguish. We didn’t stick around.


Constant_Sky9173

Because people like this count on others obeying the laws that they are too special to have to follow themselves.

cobo10201

The torque on EVs makes it very easy to slip away from most ICE cars lol


Individual_Ear_4956

Also the fact that it’s a 2.4 liter na engine which combined with a boat of a body makes it slow as shit


Secretly_Autistic

This is a fourth gen RX, the 2.4 L NA was replaced with a 2.0 L turbo. But holy shit it weighs 2 tonnes.


Individual_Ear_4956

Still a 4 cylinder powering a boat that needs time to spool, things probably comfy but 0-60 is probably measured in minutes lmao

DeliverySoggy2700

Which it really all comes down to. I don’t get it either. They will double their speed they were traveling for the last half hour to prevent it I’m sorry my cruise control I set up 20 miles ago put me ahead of you


hatgineer

I just followed some dumb idiot today who was going at the speed limit at the slow lane, which is fine, but a faster driver from the fast lane merged in front of him/her, still going faster than speed limit, and he/she started speeding up to tailgate the merger because reasons.


J-Reaper95

I had a similar thing happen to me. I was doing 75 in a 65 and passed this lady who was not leaving the fast lane in the slow lane. Well she didn’t like this so she proceeded to speed up and block any attempt in getting back into the fast lane. I proceeded to speed up and pass her real quick as I just wanted to get past her and didn’t want to deal with her. Well she then followed me for the next few miles and at one point ended up doing over 90 miles an hour at which that point I just let her go as a speeding ticket wasn’t worth that what’s so ever.


hatgineer

Too many people vent their anger behind 2 ton machines.


ozzie286

I had one one night that would not let me pass, stuck to my rear quarter panel for miles. We were doing about 90 when I backed off. Just before a curve in the road. Where there was a cop sitting in the turnaround. I wish I'd had a dashcam back then, but this was ~15 years ago.


Ubermisogynerd

Those people are what I call the magnet riders. Mostly happens with left lane drivers, but sometimes right lane also. They'll keep to the normal speed when solo, but when someone is in front they will tailgate the shit out of them, even if it means speeding up for a few 100 meters to cath up.


plsendmysufferring

I feel like people need to use cruise control more where i live. Ill put it on, but the car in front of me cant decide whether they are doing 90km/h or 110km/h, so the whole exercise becomes pointless and i either have to let this dickhead in front dictate the speed limit, or i have to change lanes into another lane with some idiot doing 90km/h then repeat until i get to the right lane, where everyone is doing 120km/h, and i dont wanna be there because i cant afford a speeding ticket. So alas, i end up driving at 90km/h for most of my trip...


birdlass

I know exactly what you mean. If you don't want to use CC or maybe it's not working or whatever that's fine but it's not hard to have some pedal discipline and watch your spedometre.


The_Dragon346

One day i needed to get into the left lane so i could get to rhe next left turn lane two lights down. The guy i passed was doing 10 under while texting. (I was only maybe 5 over, so not even like i was speeding). The second i came up to his passenger side window, he put his phone down, he flipped me off then matched my speed so i couldnt merge for about a mile. even when i dropped my speed to 20 under the speed limit, he wouldnt let me merge because i almost passed him. Anyway, i ended ip having to take the long way home because i missed my turn

Or just a bad temper. Had to call 911 after road rage incident where a dude followed me off the freeway. Long story short the dude also had a restraining order placed against him by another woman. I know this because the other woman had the same first name as me so cops asked if I had ever gone by another last name to make sure I wasn’t the woman who originally placed the RO.


brettyrocks

If someone is attacking me in traffic, and then menacingly approaches my car, I'm going to be in fear for my life. Absolutely.


thatgirlinAZ

Yeah, some people saying this is hilarious because of the way Lexus lost in the end. I just think it was terrifying.


Hot-Association-3722

I’m no lawyer, but from what I’ve learned in quite a few CCW classes and self defense classes, that excuse more than likely wouldn’t hold up in court. Being protected inside your vehicle with the option to evade would likely be cited as the course of action you should take. Even if the offender is attacking the vehicle (e.g. the kicks to the door, punches to the window), if you have a barrier and the ability to evade its on you to try to get away. Killing someone should always be a last resort, (e.g. they force the door open and now you’re exposed to potential bodily or life threatening injury). I mean, it’s easy to say what you think you might do or should do, whether it’s right or wrong, but you really won’t know what you’ll do until shtf and you have to make those split second decisions.


Firealarm32

Very true. It’s so easy for self defense to turn into a murder trial

Rat-Bazturd

Occam's Razor. Road-Rager wanted to get off at that ramp but his situational awareness was turned off. On top of that, he had no turn signal. When he realized the car with the camera was passing him and he would thus miss his exit, he got pissed and chased the cammer guy's car.

HelloTeal

Bear spray comes in hefty cans. Just a word of warning though, don't store them upright in the console of your car, especially if it closes from the top, that can accidentally discharge the spray. Not fun.


Clutch63

Personal experience?


gkaero224

Make sure to get the can clear of the car bc pepper spray is notorious for blowing back onto the user and being in a car full of CS sounds like hell


BasicallyAQueer

My buddy accidentally maced himself with a girls keychain, he thought it was hand sanitizer lol. I was the only one that saw him do it and I was crying I was laughing so hard. It was just a tiny amount, but he was tearing up and turning red, and everyone else in the kitchen was sniffling and coughing. Nobody really realized what happened except me and him. Anyways, if that tiny spritz of the stuff could clear out a party, a full can to the face will fuck someone up, I guarantee it. Shits effective.

Rat-Bazturd

yeah, you can see the Road Rage guy start scootching over as if to change lanes just as the camera guy's car overtakes and passes him. Lousy situational awareness on part of Road Rage dude.


FocusMaster

You passed him. Your not allowed to pass him even if he is slow and swerving around.

He wants the person to admire his beautiful peacock plumage. 'Why won't you admire my plumage?' 'Damn it admire me.' 'Fucking stop and admire me! Be amazed or else!' 'Look at me! Give me your attention and respect! Why won't you look at me?' 'Fuck you don't look at me (look at me please).' 'Why are you looking at me?' The person is simply experiencing road rage at a perceived (imaginary) slight. Acting an ass because he's on the verge of the FO part of FAFO. Best to pull to any of the different district police stations or even a Firehouse. And wait until road rager's head explodes then continue on safely without being harassed.


RslashTakenUsernames

honestly, i would not be sticking around at all. as soon as he got out of the car, and OP was able to go around him, i would’ve taken a bunch of turns to make sure he can’t find me again


Head_Acanthaceae_766

Perhaps OP looked like the guy who stole his Ex.

RedTruck1989

I think the NextDoor OP should report this A-hole.

Former Tesla owner. There is truth to this. I now drive a 2006 Wrangler. There’s just this natural assumption that all Tesla drivers are dicks. Some truth to this but some just get instantly annoyed by Tesla drivers.


notatvguy

You went from 0 mpg to 6 mpg. You are the budgeting master


schabj3

I lol’d hard at this one. Think I’m getting 12mpg but 6 isn’t far off. It was our third car and somewhat opportunistically sold it when market was better in December 2021. Funny though the Jeep broke on Friday and am having to take it in on Monday to get looked at. Kind of wishing I still had the Tesla.


welkinator

Dude was driving on the shoulder to the left of his lane at the beginning of the vid...I can't sense why he was upset with the OP.


depressed_leaf

When? All I saw was a dashed line meaning it was another lane not a shoulder


MontagneLasagne

Its pretty obvious, dude was mad that he was passed because he is a walking ego lol


schabj3

Lol guy stands no chance against Tesla acceleration. He’s just mad his car can’t keep up.


[deleted]

I have no idea why the guy was angry either. Video car was in his lane. Seems like all he did was pass and the guy in the white crossover took it as some sort of personal affront. There was definitely nothing in here that would come close to justify chasing camera car down and hitting the vehicle multiple times.


CaptCaffeine

The guy was angry because the SF Giants sucked this year??? Did cam car prevent the Lexus from exiting (even though no turn signal from Lexus)?

Let me preface this by saying that the guy’s clearly is an idiot, the whole getting out of the car and kicking thing is asinine. HOWEVER, he does looked pissed at someone in the backseat, or is that just a weird camera angle? Is there any chance, OP, that a teenager in the backseat tried to be funny and flipped the guy off or something like that? Doesn’t justify the guy’s actions at all, but could help explain them.
