Road rage against TL.

SPS on the TSP
Also a dailt Taconic user. Have never sen so many Barney Fife's anywhere else I've lived. The speed up then slow down thing in the left lane is hysterical. NASCAR would be proud of these idiots...whom by the way are almost never driving a vehicle capable of getting out of the way of others... much less their own way. That being said - let this go bud. You will find many more like him thru the years. Save your energy for when you find safe times/roads to stretch that car to it's limits...much more fun than playing bumper cars with a Honda Pilot...

I might have let everything else go but once the bottle was thrown, that's ass whooping time.

I know, it seems like the beginning to this drama may have started before this incident whether on the road or somewhere else.

Wow, great story... what would you have done if he produced a gun and shot one of "your boys"?
You'll risk "your boys" getting shot, all bc some chumps looked at "your girl".... grow up, you too OP.
One day you're going to follow the wrong person... hopefully they dont kill you and you can post about it on AcuraZine.

In retrospect, I agree going to the guys house isn't a wise idea, and retract my suggestion to do so. I understand how the OP is pissed with the driver, and footage would make for good evidence when filing a police report.

Thats the issue I have with this "story". Installs camera so he can catch these kinds of things on camera but then has to ad-lib the first part of the incident because camera is not on? WTFBBQ. No reason turning it on at that point...because it only made you looks stupid in the end with absolutely no proof of what started this whole hub bub. Its useless if you dont catch the whole thing.
I would recommend the OP research the term clownshoe. The very fact he installed a camera as if he is a victim but then jumps out of the car at one point - I guess actions speak louder than words and his actions dont say he is any kind of victim whatsoever outside of a victim of his own actions.
Also keep in mind....driving on US roads isnt anything like driving like those Ice Road Truckers on the Indian mountain or whatever they were over the summer. lol Its kind of an 001 skillset in the US.

I don't see anything wrong with the camera situation. Assuming OP didn't have the space to record all his driving, it doesn't make sense to turn on the camera until you have a reason to do so.
"As The Orange Turns" That was priceless!

I had an incident similar to this where an old man freaked out and followed me to dunkin donuts and started screaming at me in the drive through. He was even screaming at me when he pulled up to the order station so when i pulled up to the window all the people in dunkin are like WTF is going on?!?!
When he got up behind me as i was waiting for my order he stopped for a second and i stuck my head out the window and asked who the hell he thought i was and what the hell i did to deserve this.... turns out he thought i was someone else who was driving really fast on his road and almost hit him as he got his mail. TL is a pretty common car near me
So, is it possible he thought you pissed in his chereos when you really didnt?

Sorry about the delay...."Orange Network" was having some problems. So this morning I left a little late and I missed the pilot driver and I missed him on the way home because I came home a little late. Maybe tomorrow I can get something?
I did get some idiot pull out in front of me when I was going 45. Almost rear ended her. Look at the video. Why are Honda SUV drivers so bad?

After seeing that video, I'm quite certain you are at fault in every single whiny rant thread you have ever made about road rage.
This thread is very close to being moved to Ramblings.....

Bro, let me tell you something & this is from a person driving for 30 years, you drive like SHIT. You make a right turn & mash the pedal to speed in a residential zone then someone pulls out in front of you at the last second? You have to expect it & be ready at anytime while driving, be defensive. Don't drive with the mentality nobody is going to pull out and cut you. You have road rage, I see it.

Wow there is no hope for you. You are likely going to end up dead if you keep driving the way you are sooner, than later. Its obvious you are looking for trouble each time you get behind the wheel.

She pulled out in front of me when I was going 45MPH. No one was behind me. I have sometimes pulled out in front of someone in a hurry but I speed up RIGHT away to avoid something like this happening....and clearly she did not.
Was the honk excessive? No I think it was just because of her poor action. If you think I am a bad driver, I am running my camera 24/7 now and you are welcome to see any of my videos when I am driving.
#179
Now that I've turned up the volume I can defintely say you have road rage & are a lunatic. Guess what? You're gonna get cut off EVERYDAY you drive, get used to it. Laying on your horn like that? Get rid of your TL & buy a moped & put a fat chick on the back, that way nobody will pay attention to you.

In that last video you had more then enough time to slow down prior to slamming on your brakes. I have been limiting myself from commenting on your driving adventures until now.
A. Stop driving aggressively with aggressive starts
B. You need to slow down
C. Only people that are looking for trouble need to install cameras in there cars
D. You have to expect other drivers to make mistakes
E. Stop honking so fucking much
I'm done now.

You guys don't know this road but all the locals do. Had I not sped up after making the right turn I would have had people right on my ass because almost everyone speeds up quick from the road.
From where she made a right turn is not even suggested. So many accidents happen because of people like her.
If anyone thinks I drive aggressive you should see the people driving in NY. You have to be aggressive. If you signal on a 2 lane road people don't let you merge you have to almost signal and cut them off. You get used to it after a while.
Maybe where some of you live its not as aggressive driving.

From where she made a right turn was perfectly legal. So many accidents happen because of people like me.
If anyone thinks I drive aggressive you should see the people driving in NY. You have to be aggressive. If you signal on a 2 lane road people just like me don't let you merge in so you just cut them off. You get used to driving with a death wish after a while.
Maybe some of you use common sense when driving.

NO, you don't have to drive aggressive, for what? When I drive anywhere I do the spped limit, maybe even 5 mph over, if some driver behind is in a rush I give 2 shits because I'm NOT IN A RUSH. Late for something? I don't care, you should have left earlier.

Maybe I do drive a bit aggressive but I am serious guys this how everyone drives here. After reading some of your responses I think I should slow down a bit and not care about who is behind me or in front of me. Just drive at my own safe speed doing my own thing. I will also restrict the use of my horn now. It sounds awful after watching to be honest. I was not expecting her to come out though.
Thanks guys. I kind of realize now that I am not the worlds best or perfect driver and others will make mistakes and rage and that I should learn to ignore that and just drive. Like I said from now on I am going to restrict the horn and be more forgiving to others. If someone cuts me off oh well...I will slow down and maybe flash my beams but thats it. If someone is driving slow or something I will keep a 4 car distance between my car and them and let them take there time because driving under the limit is not illegal.
I hope this thread is not locked and hopefully the original incident the "pilot" drive has calmed down. I will have the cam on just for another 5 days for the morning and afternoon and then I am taking it off. As Morrissey25 its just asking for trouble and is a bit of a distraction.

Then you basically start driving down the double yellow line and pass her as your car is partially in the oncoming traffic lane, and you honk at her again while potentially jeopardizing oncoming traffic’s live in addition to your own. Great video you just demonstrated the definition of road of rage and how one can endanger others lives when he cannot control his temper. Again, I strongly urge you to evaluate what is causing you to get in so many close calls and make changes to YOUR driving style to prolong your life and others.

B. I live in NY (not to mention that I live relatively close to you and the TSP)
C. That is aggressive driving no matter where you live
I understand having to punch it in order to merge on the Taconic but that is not where you were merging.

If you can explain on your point I would love to hear it.
She pulled out in front of me when I was going 45MPH. No one was behind me. I have sometimes pulled out in front of someone in a hurry but I speed up RIGHT away to avoid something like this happening....and clearly she did not.
Was the honk excessive? No I think it was just because of her poor action. If you think I am a bad driver, I am running my camera 24/7 now and you are welcome to see any of my videos when I am driving.

No worries my friend. If I lived in your town I would have friggin stopped right there in the middle of the road, got out - walked back and crammed that horn right up your back side - knocked you the F out....and went about my way - my guess is, to the applause of EVERYONE around you or in the area. You my friend, are a dick! You have no friggin idea how to really drive - I can see that from the videos - and at the same time have a reaction time to where you either are #1 - on friggin delodids driving around or are just plain SLOW....or - #2 - and I am guessing this is more likely....you just ran your nose up that Honda's ass just to give you a reason to flip out. I revert back to the start of my post....No worries my friend. (start from top of this post and repeat action until point has set in fully)
Oh...and I say you are a dick, in the most respectful way possible.

Thanks for the responses. I understand WHAT I DID WAS WRONG.
I removed the video. So for those of you that did not see it. CRV pulled out in front of me and I did not slow down until the last second and started honking for 10 seconds. And honked when the CRV made the exit. While the CRV was at fault I was also at fault for driving fast and excessive honking.
All types of people on the road. Some bad some good some slow some fast. I have to live with all of them. I just can't have my own way on the road and expect to be fine I have to adjust to others mistakes/errors.
So from now on I will drive a bit slower. If someone pulls out in front of me or something I will not honk at them or hound them I will let it go and take a deep breath....maybe turn my music up and forget what just happened. If someone is driving slow I will slow down and not have a aggressive manner and let them drive slow. I am now going to restrict the use of my horn to a very minimum.
All you guys can't be wrong can you? I am wrong. I am the one that was speeding in the video and it was partly my fault. What I should have done was took off slowly and when she came out in front of me....just take a deep breath and remain calm and no horn or anything.

Sounds like you are getting the picture. Because your right...there are all kinds out there and we have to live with em all. If I did that kind of thing all the time somebody did something idiotic around me in a car I think it would be easier to just tape the horn down. lol And on your same note as there is all kinds out there and we have to live with em....you must understand some of those people might be packing a gun? Think about it!
Sounds like your starting to realize that it may be YOU with the road rage issue - which is the first step to controlling it! Keep it up!
