ok so last Friday I picked up my young kids for my weekend....driving to my house. and I basically drive for a living and get cut off, pulled in front of and yea I see a lot of stupid stuff on the road, if nothing gets bent or no one gets injured i really dont care, to me its not worth getting mad over, it just doesn't matter, Im pretty calm. perhaps im a puss becasue I wont fight over dumb driving i dont know.
So I am approaching an intersection going north 2 lanes each way to 2 lanes each way, my light was green made a right, another driver approaching from the opposite way south made a left at the same time i made my right. I like nascar so I may have gone a bit wide on my turn. In my mind I had the right of way(opinions?)So then the other driver pulls up along sideme ( he is driving a truck I have a car) comes into my lane trying to force me off the road pulls up and makes some angry hand gestures, I give him the sorry sign, im in the right lane, he then cuts in front of me and slams on his brakes, I stop, the traffic is heavy ( friday at 5 o clock) I cant get to the middle lane to drive away. He gets out of the truck and starts walking back to my car. im thinking what the whats up with this guy? II can see both hands and there is nothing in them....so now im thinking what to do.....traffic is now backed up and I suppose I could have driven on the grass to the right, my kids are in the car , do I pull out my gun? do I open the door get behind it draw my gun and start yelling get back in your truck po lice style? so he walked up to the car, I left it in drive and turned the wheel to the right just in case he reached in and stared punching me so i could go out in traffic and squish the puncher , i rolled down the window and said "whats up dude?' I said I had the right of way
I think he saw that i had my kids in the car and backed off no confrontation no yelling just ended
This was the fist time in a long time I thought about using the gun... I think in this case it would have definatley complicated things
and tinley park guy in the black truck if your are reading thisi am glad we didnt have to shoot each other
