Sounds like they are 100% in the wrong. Might as well give them a love tap... make them think twice about ever doing it again.

I give drivers a 4 second period when they're allowed to be a little slow in the brain. Any more than that and I'm on the horn. I do laugh at the ones that do stupid shit when I'm in my dad's crappy farm truck. It hasn't been washed in 3 years.

A. You won't damage my car.

B. Does it look like I'm going to do much to avoid it?

Texas has occasionally put up signs for construction that say "Merge Here" right at the merge points.

Try to hit a front wheel. Guaranteed to cause major damage, even at barely moving speeds. Wheels are not made to take that kind of impact, and will usually bend suspension/subframe. However, this will probably cause more damage to you. It's the reason I drive a 5-10 year old car; I never swerve for retards.


If someone is doing something illegal, and you collide, it's automatically their fault. Chances are, they will be ticketed as well.

Probably true, but also likely to tear the shit out of the front of my car in the process. Honestly, I'm not looking for max hitpoints here, just a nice compromise between not inconveniencing myself too much and causing a satisfactory amount of irritation / inconvenience to the other party.

I should probably start carrying a digital camera in the car at all times if I'm going to start doing this. Who knows- enough insurance claims for people hitting me and I might be able to get my car painted a uniform color.

I try never to make assumptions like these in re motor vehicle law.

I only honk at taxi cabs.

I like giving "student drivers" hell on the public roadways. Welcome to the road, bitch!

I confess I actually have no horn.

ha actually same here, my cavalier DD hasn't had a working horn for over 2 years now.

And yes, 70% of the drivers that piss me off and cause me to enact road rage are female (usually they're on the phone) and the other 30% are yuppies who fancy themselves street racers in their leased lexus.
