Speaking of road rage:
two summers ago I cut in fron tof this one guy, probably doing that same thing everyone in this thread was complaining about- but it was an honest thing, not like I was being a ######. Anyway, at the next nights the guy gets out of his car and comes to my car, my window is rolled down. He yells a little bit, which doesn't bug me. Then, I tell him to f-off, and he punches me in the face, through my car's open window.
I wrote down his licence plate, called the cops, and when they came they told me that if I wanted the guy to be investigated for hitting me, they'd also have to investigate me for reckless driving and whatnot to see if I provoked him. I wondered why that mattered, because he hit me and that is against the law. Anyway to make a long story short the cop told me touch #####. Kinda annoyed me.
But there is one thing I learnt from the cop: if someone gets out of their car, and then you get out of your car, it is considered a consentual fight and no charges can be pressed no matter how badly one person is hurt. This is good knowledge next time so guy gets out of his car trying to yell at me, I'll just get out and kick the out of him first. Especially if I ever see the same guy who hit me two summers back.
