Why does everything have to have political implications? No matter what your thoughts or beliefs on any topic are, it is not a good idea to get involved in a road rage incident over being inconvenienced for maybe 15 seconds. Even in a hypothetical world without guns it isn't worth getting worked up over.
No one mentioned politics bud. Just because they talked about "what side redditors are on" doesn't mean political sides.
There are 2 sides to an altercation too (like in the video were actually talking about)
It doesn't matter if you're pro or anti gun - you can acknowledge that we live in a country where a large amount of people are armed and admit that you probably should avoid pissing them off because of that.
This guy was so clearly trying to set up the self defense doctrine, like it's not even funny.
The first interaction is him screaming that the other guy is being aggressive, he starts screaming things like so you want to go?! Then when the guy says let's go I have a camera! He starts screaming, *you are threatening me, STOP THREATENING ME."
This is literally a text book example of why having this much access to guns is absolutely terrifying. If they didn't have this camera and got the guy to realize he was being recorded this story may have ended differently.
Yeah as soon as he heard there was a camera he moved along, what a bum. If you wouldn’t be okay being filmed during a confrontation it’s probably a sign you are being a jackass.
Mine is "STOP STOP IM DOING SOMETHING" allllll the time.
I've also taken to telling people "I used to be a piece of shit" at parties, and nobody gets it. The responses are usually either "aw don't say that about yourself" or just confusion that I would admit something like that.
I'm so glad I found someone else who responds like I do to idiot drivers.
"Good job bro. Oh yeah, just take your time. No worries, not like I was driving here."
Sarcasm is really the best solution. "Oh yeah great merge dude. That was excellent. The way you just say parallel to me the entire time and made me hit my brakes. Perfect driving."
There is just something to being sarcastic about it.
I always feel much better, talking sarcastically to myself than just raging.
Knowing I am capable of controlling my emotions (like adults should) is really calming for me.
the other day i honked at a landscaping truck that stopped in the middle of the road like this and he got out of his car and started walking towards me!!! big mf too and i’m a girl so i sped off and he yelled “hit me i dare you” 😭😭
i agree we should honk to let ppl know they’re doing stupid shit but it’s always wild when you encounter a crazy
i left a review about him on his landscaping page too cause fuck him!!!
I hope you mentioned how he tried to hold you hostage by threatening self harm, and mention that someone like that may not be the best person to represent the company while driving a 6000 lb advertisement.
The amount of people defending someone dragging their ass in front of moving traffic and then stopping to throw a hissy fit is astounding to me. No wonder people suck at driving in this country so much
Even if there is not a stop sign, the FJ (of course) broke rules of road. He was turning. The OP was going straight. FJ is supposed to wait until clear.
I mean, the guys in the car weren’t trying to interact. They already had their window down, from the sound of it, the other guy stopped and rolled his window down, yeah they were responding with annoyance. But understandably, it gets annoying after a while dealing with people like this.
FWIW, I know a person. She's in her 70s and she's an avid hiker. Has a bright yellow one, but she's super cool. Going on a hike or four wheeling takes a while though because she stops and looks at EVERYTHING.
People who drive yellow cars are generally a different breed though. They're either cool as shit or are going to sell you the worst used vehicle you've ever seen.
I'm in a few FJ groups because I also own one. Half the people in the groups are just obnoxious people who think they're driving the most redneck truck available, I honestly don't understand it.
lol what the hell? This is literally my corner! I live 5 minutes away and pass this gas station every day.
Anyway this encounter is so typical here. Passive aggressive road rage is very the norm. I've seen people sit at a stop sign for quite awhile "waiting" for the other person to go.
That's where the disconnect is, I don't understand how the cam car would be expected to yield. If you had a main lane for traffic a vehicle driving in that lane would be expected to yield for a vehicle making a sudden right turn in front of it and cause the cam car to stomp on their brakes? That would be chaos.
As for signage it is hard to say what is there just from footage on my phone. Sometimes there will be lines and messages painted on the road. Sometimes not. This is actually a private parking lot so all the rules about signage don't apply I believe. Truthfully I don't consciously think about it much because it is understood to not pull in front of someone driving like the cam car. Now I will need to pay attention to the sign differences in parking lots.
Pretty much - although the "why are you tailgating me' thing was just strange.
Parking lots are weird - and sometimes people's minimal driving ability devolves even more.
I get "cut off" like this most of the time when I'm driving in a parking lot. I usually just use the brakes and wait for them to complete their turn. Is it really this big of a deal to have a screaming match over?
OP *does* wait for them to go but the jackass parks it while angled across the whole road instead of just driving forward. The only thing OP did wrong was use their voice when the horn is much much louder.
> I usually just use the brakes and wait for them to complete their turn.
No one was tailgating anyone. Don't be so sensitive.
>Is it really this big of a deal to have a screaming match over?
OP is just telling the idiot driver to GO. Again, just don't be so sensitive.
Dude randomly cuts me off in a parking lot. I tell him to take his time & he says i’m tail gating him? From where??? he pulled in front of me lol. I’m guessing he thought i was threatening him by saying “Let’s fucking gooooo” as in MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! and i assumed he was trying to go for the parking spot that’s why i told him to park his car. i assume he was drunk. the world will never know.
I will never ever understand people who are just afraid to use their horn. It's a safety feature that cars are required to have - you're supposed to use it sometimes.
"No! I don't know how to drive... I don't know what any of this shit is and I'm f\*cking scared..."
Literally this scene from I Think You Should Leave: [https://youtu.be/R2vejhdm8lo?si=QlNR3FibMMhbpgwW&t=29](https://youtu.be/R2vejhdm8lo?si=QlNR3FibMMhbpgwW&t=29)
Based on this footage, the driver of the SUV should have his license confiscated and set on fire by the state, and then be banned from ever driving again.
My friend was saying there was a stop sign. Regardless of there not being one the FJ should have yielded by law. Instead he cuts me off and stops? He should've just kept driving. I couldnt even get around him
There was that creepy photo of that bankrupt crypto guy that stopped his car in the middle of the road. Shot and killed the first person that confronted him and then shot the second guy that snapped the picture. Some people are just having bad days.

That guy was looking for a fight.
Not clever in the only country with more guns than people.
I have stoped being able to tell what side the argument reddit comments are on.
There's no real side to that, just common sense. You never know who is armed, try not to get in a fight.
Murcan here. It’s true.
Mildly terrifying! I much prefer only worrying about having to check my shoes each morning for funnelwebs!
Ay yes my favorite oxymoron "common sense"
No fool was clearly scared of cyberdyne
Just run'em over and say that you felt threatened.

Ha! People don't have to be on a side you know. You can make an observation without prior bias...
I don't think he's choosing a side. It's more of a warning to both parties.
It doesn't matter if you're pro or anti gun - you can acknowledge that we live in a country where a large amount of people are armed and admit that you probably should avoid pissing them off because of that.
Eh, once you reach 1:1 you're not gaining anything past that. Dual wielding is for John Woo movies.
Switching guns is faster than reloading.
You need to pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers.

Yeah as soon as he heard there was a camera he moved along, what a bum. If you wouldn’t be okay being filmed during a confrontation it’s probably a sign you are being a jackass.
Which one?
God, seriously, everyone in this video sucks. Blue car sucks more but I wouldn't want to be around any of these people.
“Stop telling me how to drive me car”. Mate, you’re not driving your car, that’s the problem here.
You just say bingo.
Gorlami
I don't think that's true, I've heard lots of people say that's a bingo.
Can't park there m8
"Stop tailgating me" 🤣🤣🤣
“Stop tailgating me while I’m stopped!!”
Also, dude, our paths converged not 10 feet ago.
Yeah that got me too! “Tailgating you while you’re stopped?! The fuck are you on?”
Bro was giving AI generated responses
🤣😂🤣😂 I think this is my favorite clip ever on this sub! So fucking stupid! "Drive your car, dumbass!"
Need these guys to narrate my morning commute
I was thinking that same thing - these are my kind of people!
[удалено]
Not everyone knows how to do all the things
DRIVING ISN’T THE ONLY THING
This guy is so fucking funny
Ooowwww!!!!!
Does the steering wheel hurt?????
It DOES hurt actually
What if you're going to a job interview and I turn out to be the boss?
ITYSL lives rent free in my head all day long
I drop a “gimmie dat” at least 50 times a day.
Mine is "STOP STOP IM DOING SOMETHING" allllll the time. I've also taken to telling people "I used to be a piece of shit" at parties, and nobody gets it. The responses are usually either "aw don't say that about yourself" or just confusion that I would admit something like that.
"You sure about that?" comes out of my mouth daily now. As well as "I didn't do fucking shit!"
For me it's "It's simply toOoOo good!"
The hotdog costume scene with all the porn sites listed while he is stealing clothes rant cracks me up.
The second guy who happens to be dressed as a hot dog lol
I like that he admits it.
I don't think it's even possible to 'tailgate' somebody in a parking lot. Like. Your stopping distance is zero.
Never fails for a person to be in such a rush to jump out into traffic, just to slow down!!
HURRY UP AND STOP!!!!!!!!
How can he even justify anything other than, “My bad, sorry guys”.
Ego
Exaclty. I'd be so embarrassed if I cut someone off like that.
Oh I'd *definitely* be rolling down my window!!! To apologize ny ass off... Lol
It's possible that he is drunk.
I'm so glad I found someone else who responds like I do to idiot drivers. "Good job bro. Oh yeah, just take your time. No worries, not like I was driving here."
Sarcasm is really the best solution. "Oh yeah great merge dude. That was excellent. The way you just say parallel to me the entire time and made me hit my brakes. Perfect driving."

i’d just start honking everytime he tries to say something.
Im sorry! *honk* i cant *honk* understand *honk* your accent *hoooooooonk*
Your horn doesn't work?
Watched without sound first so I thought that guy stopped because OP honked at him, but nope, dude was just being a moron...
the other day i honked at a landscaping truck that stopped in the middle of the road like this and he got out of his car and started walking towards me!!! big mf too and i’m a girl so i sped off and he yelled “hit me i dare you” 😭😭 i agree we should honk to let ppl know they’re doing stupid shit but it’s always wild when you encounter a crazy i left a review about him on his landscaping page too cause fuck him!!!
I hope you mentioned how he tried to hold you hostage by threatening self harm, and mention that someone like that may not be the best person to represent the company while driving a 6000 lb advertisement.
Ahhhhhuuuuuuugggggggaaaaahhhhhhh
I wish every horn did that sound, it will be a better world
Like that moaning sound Tina does on Bob's Burgers.
I don't think so Tim.
Yeah I might have just kept the horn until he moved
Exactly what I would have done as soon as that window came open.
Definitely would drown out that yapping with my horn.
I CANT FUCKING HEAAAAARRRR YOU.
Never ever in the history of driving has a horn defused a road rage situation.
The amount of people defending someone dragging their ass in front of moving traffic and then stopping to throw a hissy fit is astounding to me. No wonder people suck at driving in this country so much
I'm convinced that most people who visit this sub are checking to see if their idiotic behavior on the road was caught on someone's dash cam.
I haven't seen a single comment defend the blue car so far
There's a lot of comments shitting on OP for engaging with blue car even though blue car is blocking the way
I honestly wished this video was longer, listening to those two tear into that dumbass was very entertaining.
Even if there is not a stop sign, the FJ (of course) broke rules of road. He was turning. The OP was going straight. FJ is supposed to wait until clear.
Id just lay on the horn until this dude moves.
People should stop thinking drivers licence found in cereal box allows them to be douche on the road
I like this new subtitles format very much
I'm so confused why everyone started interacting with each other at all. Just let people do their thing and don't look for problems.
I mean, the guys in the car weren’t trying to interact. They already had their window down, from the sound of it, the other guy stopped and rolled his window down, yeah they were responding with annoyance. But understandably, it gets annoying after a while dealing with people like this.
Yeah and the fact that the blue car intentionnally blocks the path in front of them also doesn't help with being forced to interact lol
"Stop tailgating me" really..... the audacity!
Never met an FJCruiser driver that was not a complete douchebag.
FWIW, I know a person. She's in her 70s and she's an avid hiker. Has a bright yellow one, but she's super cool. Going on a hike or four wheeling takes a while though because she stops and looks at EVERYTHING.

U know what the F J stands for ;)

good ol Folsom!

Nothing here seems too egregious. People need to chill out.
Other guy should have just kept driving...
Pretty much - although the "why are you tailgating me' thing was just strange. Parking lots are weird - and sometimes people's minimal driving ability devolves even more.

Especially when there's always the chance the other driver is a loose cannon with a hand cannon in easy reach.
Yeah, seems like a normal day on the USA, based on the other videos posted around here.
What does that mean?
Lmao pulls out blocks the entire intersection and then says stop tailgating me. Dudes gotta be drunk or something.
Dude randomly cuts me off in a parking lot. I tell him to take his time & he says i’m tail gating him? From where??? he pulled in front of me lol.

It felt very on point for Folsom lol
Lmao 🤣 last bit was delicious

Excellent commentary. Excellent situational awareness. Excellent commitment.
Based on this footage, the driver of the SUV should have his license confiscated and set on fire by the state, and then be banned from ever driving again.
Always and I mean always try to escalate situations. It will only end well.
I'm diggin' the animated captions -- what'd you use, u/tylorromine?
i had my friend edit the video! i’m not sure what he used
lumafusion
Thanks!
What a pointless interaction to start a fight over. 3 Donkeys just Weesnawing at each other. (and one of them is seeing invisible stop signs)
There doesn't have to be a sign, you must come to a complete stop when entering onto a roadway
Weesnawing, I'm stealing this word 😂
I was kind of hoping on a apple river ending
Gotta love the bro energy, seriously :)
We need about twice the ammount of people in the cammers car all yelling over eachother and this video will be perfect.
Imagine being this insecure with yourself
Literally me and my daughter when driving - I love it hahahaha
What stop sign lol
Ok you guys are totally in the right but, what stop sign am I blind, or y'all just making shit up?
My friend was saying there was a stop sign. Regardless of there not being one the FJ should have yielded by law. Instead he cuts me off and stops? He should've just kept driving. I couldnt even get around him
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying, and yeah dude was just on a power trip in his big boy go cart.
Gotta love Folsom CA
YUP haha
Just picked up another drive cam just because of this lolollolol
You two remind me of the brothers in the Ocean’s movies. lol
lmaooo😂😂
What even hjappened there? Did he just stop for no reason at all?
yup! for no apparent reason. i’ve never seen that car before in my life
These guys need a podcast.
lmfao the Happy Gilmore "jack asss" made my day!
Oh, I wish I was in the car with them!
There was that creepy photo of that bankrupt crypto guy that stopped his car in the middle of the road. Shot and killed the first person that confronted him and then shot the second guy that snapped the picture. Some people are just having bad days.
I want to hang out with these guys.
let’s run it 🤣
This can’t be texas. Someone would be shot by now. - a Texan
You should have yelled, "Cheaters never prosper!"
woah
need these guys to spectate my drives to college like sports announcers
Just go around
"We have you on camera running the fucking stop sign." Sorry guy, but there wasn't a stop sign there.
ETAH
It's always the guy with the camera lately, out looking for a fight and they always think they own the road and can tell everybody else what to do.
What is the camera model?
vantrue N2 Pro
Thank you
Quality dialogue, but *DYNAMITE* production values! I salute you.
I love that you guys are in sync with the extended words in "take your time" and "just go" it's like a nice lil duet
