Interesting way of sharing your encounter from a 3rd person POV, and as if the vehicles were driving themselves.akide wrote: ↑ ...

I drive this stretch of highway every day for work, and I swear that it has some of the most aggressive drivers I have seen (I drive all over the GTA for work). For whatever reason dudes in pickups seem to take every other vehicle on the road personally, as if they are out to get them and need to prove themselves on the highway. Probably didn't help that OP was driving an EV, which tends to upset certain pickup drivers even more...akide wrote: ↑ Road rage

Pick Up Truck Road Rage - Highway 404 Northbound and Hwy 7 - Feb 02 2022
During the rain/snow storm, a Tesla Model 3 is driving in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane heading northbound on Highway 404 and Hwy 7.
Pick up truck is a single occupant vehicle, tries passing the Tesla however encounters traffic on the right lane. Stays on the HOV lane, and tailgates the Tesla, driving along along the shoulder lane markers.
Vehicles approaching a safety salt truck, when traffic slows down, and the Tesla accelerates again. The pick up truck is still upset and continues the tailgating and aggressive driving on the shoulder lane markers.
An opening comes up, and the pick up truck overtakes the Tesla on the right lane, proceeds back on the left lane in front of the Tesla and brakes. Tesla vehicle changes lane and overtakes the pick up truck and then proceeds to the very far right lane. The pick up truck is not happy and leaves his lane and proceeds to follow the Tesla again. The pick up truck unsatisfied with being boxed in then passes both the CINTAS vehicle and Tesla on the very far lane.
Moral of the story DUMB.

There's a certain breed that feels EVs threaten the oil field jobs and that EVs are only driven by hipster doofuses or foreigners. Die hard blue collar/conservatives tend to blame their problems on Elon and his followers, they also feel that the ICE way of life is time-limited...

I was really hoping the F150 would spin out, flip over and kill the driver. Darwin doesn't always win.akide wrote: ↑ Road rage

At the same time though, according to OP, that pickup should never have been in the HOV lane anyways since there was only one occupant. This is a case of an aggressive testosterone filled douche.Marx0r wrote: ↑ The moral of the story is to be more defensive. If you see someone impatient come flying up behind you, even if you are in the right, just be the bigger person and move over. His following distance (or lack there of) created a hazard to you and everyone else on that highway. Your ultimate reaction to speed and pass on the right was also unsafe, especially given the road conditions.

Because no one was hurt, we need to see that one on replay.KorruptioN wrote: ↑ Winter-time construction + huge snow piles still left on the road = not a good time. Large orange construction bollards were used to close off this SB left lane before the intersection, and they were knocked over (probably by snowplows), so there wasn't any indicator that the lane would suddenly close, in the intersection. Elantra slowed down to change lanes mid-intersection, and the MDX driver clearly wasn't paying attention, and was going too fast.

Set your hand free call for 911 and next time call the police. Agressive behaviour is agressive behaviour, 4 wheeled armor or not.joshmxpx wrote: ↑ I drive this stretch of highway every day for work, and I swear that it has some of the most aggressive drivers I have seen (I drive all over the GTA for work).

No, the other guy threw a bottle at his car. Of course he premeditated getting his gun ready after he brake check the other guy, then closed his eyes and blindly fired his weapon. Fortunately he didn't his any bystanders.

Really? Dramatic, much. If that post is in-line with how you go about life, you might want to relax a little. Would you wish upon your family member to also die if they make a poor judgement on the road, in the heat of the moment? Counseling services are easy to come by to those with mental health issues. Otherwise, maybe try Twitter to air your radical frustrations.engineered wrote: ↑ I was really hoping the F150 would spin out, flip over and kill the driver. Darwin doesn't always win.

This is what you are calling for, minus the death.
The amount of entitlement and aggression on our roads is next-level these days.

I was not defending the F150 driver. My point is that as soon as the HOV lane ended, or approx. 10%/30s into the video, OP's best move was to diffuse the situation by moving over and letting the aggressive driver go, rather than staying put and maintaining the dangerous circumstances.engineered wrote: ↑ Wow, I didn't expect to see anyone defending the lunatic on the road.
