Okay so leaving class tonight, heavy traffic, come to a double left hand turn lane at a redlight. There is a newer model dodge 4x4 at the redlight. Mud tires, etc. im not even up to his window where i can see him (because of the way the turning lane was made) light turns green, i take off in a perfectly normal relaxed sriving pace, no extra throttle whatsoever, the dodge proceeds to give it a couple whomps of the throttle with no response from me ( i am not racing anybody on the street, it kills people and gas is way to expensive.) there is cars up ahead stopped, he then proceeds to smash the gas and cut me off at the last second nearly missing bumpers, and immediately stops and i have to slam on my brakes, tires skid and i am sideways halfway in the turning lane between the two traffic lanes (4 lane road with turning lane in the middle) the cars take off, i straighten out, and continue to drive in a normal fashion, curbing my rage. Im a good 4 car lengths behid him and he keeps slamming his brakes, i take the other lane when he does this for the last time and he completely smashes it. Only to get into a turning lane and turn 100 yards later. Thats the last i saw of him. So glad i didnt have an accident. This happens to me about 5-6 times a month. I dont know why. I just want to drive peacefully and get home safely. I have never shown any type of driving aggression or tried to race any of these people.

Share your similar stories NOT STREET RACING STORIES if you got some.

So this one time I was fixing to race this guy in a dodge... Just kidding I don't race either, but really. Me and my dad were on the end of the bypass(goes around the town where i live) one night with a horse trailer on and when the light turned green we started to turn left onto 62(the main 4 lane) and luckily we were going into the inside lane because some idiot in a Lexus crossover blew the red light and flew by in the outside lane going at least 60 and its a 40 through there. If we had been going to the outside he would have nailed us

people are just such shmucks these days it aint funny. mostly these kids with there "daddys" diesel trucks that think there hot ****. I get ****** like you guys have had I dont race either or try to speed (being a volunteer firefighter ive seen to much messed up stuff lol) but i also dont have the patience for idiotic drivers and they find that out very quick haha. They ride my *** having a 5 speed i just start down shifting so i dont have to use my brakes(nothing bad enough to cause an accident just to get the message clear). Or if they really **** me off then ill give them that one big brake check and they back off. I had one guy pissed me in a 3rd gen dodge(seems to be a dodge thing haha) being a complete dick so i did all that i just described so he went to pass me on a state rt by me was a passing lane but im doing 60mph in a 55 not to much over the speed limit. So he goes to pass me so i let him gets along side me flipping me off so i say alright buddy lets just see what your turd box has slammed it into 3rd and took off continued to ride my *** the whole time so when i turned for my road he almost rear ended me and yelled at me im like ohh boy we have a tough guy haha. figured i had to share that. people just are so ignorant these days. Like i said Being a firefighter ive seen way to many bad wrecks from stupid/drunk driving.

Funny story here,

This chevy 2500 crew cab fender flares mud tires etc was sitting at a red light. I pulles up next to him at about 10 at night on my way to work. He revs his engine up to race me, im like hell no ive got 35s and 3.55s ill get murdered. So he stomps on it and takes off. Come up to the next light and he does it again. Im like whatever man keep being stupid. He takes off again and we go under an overpass (loud as heck with his and my exhaust) all of a sudden, woop woop sirens come on and the idiot gets pulled over.

That made my whole month right there lol I laughed all the way to work with a big grin on my face.

I'll throw a story out there too. Last winter we had 1 decent freeze around here and I was heading home from work. I'm doing probably 5 under and this kid in a jeep starts riding my ***, so I pull onto the shoulder and let him pass. (I'm never in a huge hurry lol). Well he passes me and probably 500 feet in front of me I see brake lights then headlights then spin right into a ditch. Rolled up and activated my strobes. (yellow and white) he outside already looking confused. He asked if I could help pull him. I grinned and said yeah for $75. He stood there for a second and said I've only got $50 on me. I laughed and said deal. Easiest money I've ever made haha

Lol I drive fast but I don't bother other drivers. UNLESS, they are driving slow in the fast lane. I'll get within two feet of someones bumper and ride it for ten miles before I'll pass on the right. If they don't know they should get over, I figure it's my job to educate them.

Haha great stories guys! One time me and my freind were taking an interstate trip in his civic hatchback automatic (not a ricer, its completely stock he bought to save gas going to work) but it has a ricer mix match paint job and a fart can (he bought it like that) but its a total turd. Anyways were on the interstate doing 70 and some dude in a brand new f250 fx4 (only thing done is blacked tail lights lmao, the rest bone stock) and he is going like 60 mph. Well we were pretty close behind him then his freind looks out the window at us like were pissing them off or something. He thn continues to stomp it, both of them holding the peace sign out the window obnoxiously, beer cans and trash flying out the bed. To us it looked like he got up to atleast 100 mph, we got up to 80 and leveled out and he was still rolling flying by cars that were doing 70. We chill out and see a sheriff in the southbound lanes across the grass median and say "that would be so funny if he pulled those guys over" literally like 2 mins later the sheriff flys by us from behind, then we see they pulled over the f250. When we passed the cop was still in his car, so i stuck my head and arms out the window and gave them that same obnoxious "peace" they gave us. We laughed for a long time haha
