Working as a Police Radio Dispatcher I dispatch on calls all the time of road rage. That guy in the car may be armed and he doesnt know if you have a gun or not, so if someone approaches him he doesnt know if that person is going to be getting ready to shoot him, so he may just be reaching for his gun as he is in fear of his safety.
Because I hear of this all the time, I now try my hardest to be kind and let people in. I tell myself my only goal is to get home safely to my babies today. If that takes me 10 more minutes to do this because rude people didnt want to let me in or I tried to be a courteous driver and let people in and it took longer then thats ok.. at least I made it home to my babies and didnt end up in the hospital or dead because I got upset over what? Someone taking the space in the road in front of me? Someone refused to allow me to change lanes? Someone was to close to my back bumper and was making me nervous..(DONT EVER HIT YOUR BRAKES IN THIS SITUATION - YOU COULD CAUSE A PANIC STOP BECAUSE THE PERSON BEHIND YOU MIGHT NOT BE PAYING ATTENTION AND THEY COULD CAUSE A WRECK AND KILL SOMEONE AND YOU WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.) I just maintain my speed and continue on, or move to another lane.
You all have loved ones who depend on you and love you more then anything else in this world! Please dont be a statistic, do whatever you have to to avoid confrontations on the road
