Usually the road rage shows up when 15 or 20 cars are stacked up behind this slow car and someone in the back of the line gets upset and starts weaving in and out of traffic.

Yeah, I see a lot of that as well. I also think you might see more or less road rage depending on what you drive. Like I said before, people don't mess with me in my suburban.

I take exception to this statement. As a professional driver,

I've driven across the country, lived in California, and Florida, and I have seen some very ignorant driving. But the drivers in the DFW area, are a special breed. The best I can say is they're angry. When you say a "professional driver" does that mean a semi? I have no problems when I drive my square body suburban. but I can tell you on a weekly basis I can find at least 10 people that drive angry. and this is a 30 mile commute.

In fact the litany of people on this post, and the high number of views would lead me to believe they agree with my statement.

Dashcam.

I got mine for $70,

Where does one get a $70 dashcam? is it forward and rearward?

And how have you used it? Can I produce it as evidence?

I was in a new area. I made a right on red when I did not see any cars. I did not realize it was a 55 Mph area, and a mustang came right up my rear. there was a semi next to me so I accelerated as quickly as I could and moved over.

Not saying I was not at fault, just concerned for my life right after that.

Hi all,

I guess living in Texas road rage is a common sight.

Recently I was involved in a situation where a driver was upset at my driving for whatever reason, and attempted to use their vehicle to run me off the road, and then proceeded to run in front of my vehicle only to slam on the brakes. At what point is the use of a 6000 lbs truck aggravated assault?

Do we need to be under the differential before the law is on our side?

If someone is trying to run you off the road, and then slams the brakes in front of you, what would you do?

thanks!~
