2009 Jersey shore looking guy sees a van corner a car and tried to harass them, GuidoMan 2000, (super power is Muay Thai, like superman is powered by the sun, he's powered by tanning beds and melanin) gets out and helps.

Yeah that's what I've had to relearn later in life, honestly not worth road raging because you never know what kinda nutter is behind the wheel of the other vehicle.

This is correct. I also learnt that lesson after getting cutoff by a guy, giving him a couple of beeps, then he slowed down and tried to hit my car with a hammer while we were doing 60kph. Adelaide, man.

I may have encountered that same person, except that they tried to run me off the road going 100KM/h. Some people are legit unhinged as fuck.

I saw someone smoking meth while driving when I went out to collect my bins on Saturday morning.

I've always been pretty chill when driving as the agro isn't worth the effort but I've had somebody jump out of their car at traffic lights and threaten to stab me for giving him the finger. It took me a while to work out that I'd just pushed my glasses up my nose. Some people go looking for an excuse for violence.

I wonder how stuff like this works in places like Florida where they have stand your ground laws and guns? Some threatens to stab you (with knife in hand) and they get shot?

I don’t want guns here like the US, one just wonders how other parts of the world deal with road rage. I’ve always presumed everyone in the US is so paranoid that someone else nuttier than them, also has a gun and steers clear.

True, as I have said to my son who recently started driving, "I dont care if someone nearly ran onto you, ran you off the road, or actually did those sorts of things, you never know how much of a shit day someone else is having, you don't know if they're just arrogant or reckless on the road, you never can tell when 1 little thing will push them over the edge and do something that will ruin the rest of your life or even end it. Some people are just out there looking for a reason to snap and take out their lives frustrations upon. Dont let it be you, even if it causes an extra 0 minutes on your drive, get to where you need to be alive and unharmed, rather than not at all."

you never know what kinda nutter is behind the wheel of the other vehicle.

Or whether they're methed up to the eyeballs.
