Raptor 1, Accord 0

I would have done the same thing. I deal with ****** bags like that on I-15 in Between Cedar City and Mesquite all the time. Usually, Toyota drivers though.... Normally it starts as them going slow in the left lane. Then I go to pass, and they speed up. I normally travel "5 over".

Pretty interesting video of a Honda driver that pissed off the wrong person.

Raptor vs. Honda Road Rage

Yah, I don't really know the full story on why the raptor driver was pissed, but no one should act like this.

Just move over, and let them be. Raptor driver is at the wrong here - doesn't really matter what the Honda driver did to **** him off. No one should be acting this way in the left lane. Doesn't matter if you drive a lambo.

Wrong. The moral of the story is: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Anybody who is truly in a hurry due to an actual emergency would have gone around by passing on the shoulder and continued on their "emergency". And ultimately, no one could blame them. Tailgating instead of going around is the act of a child. Tailgating, then passing on the shoulder, then trying to force your way into a lane with the vehicle you wanted to pass, (when you already passed them), that's when someone gets hurt. When you are in the 3 ton truck and the other guy isn't, he's the one that will lose. It's the same in sailing, where for centuries, around the world regardless of language or culture; the bigger ship has the right of way.

I do believe the accord got what was coming to him for doing what he did but I am in the belief just let those morons pass so no other innocent bystanders, or myself, are injured. This is not to disagree with anyone else who said the guy might have cut him off then slammed on his brakes, which I’ve seen, or maybe the accord had done previously. It’s a short video with limited context so I’m not going to judge the raptor driver. However, that d bag in the accord we can judge all day. There is enough context there for that.

The comments linked to that video are ridiculous. Everyone judges the incident based on the vehicle, and their assumption of the demographic of the driver. The idiotic statement about "F150 drivers cause more accidents" was immediately followed by another post stating "it's the bestselling vehicle here, duh". If the roles were reversed and the F150 was the aggressor (and knocked the Honda to the left instead) everyone would correctly blame the driver of the truck. But somehow an aggressive driver in a small car has the "right" to do stupid things? Would that driver have done that to a cement mixer or a tanker truck full of gas, an ambulance or a fire truck? Nope. If the traffic slows to 3mph was he going to fight everyone in front of him?
