Just got an awful experience not long ago.

I think I have cut into the a on coming

car lane ( I did signal in advance ).

The driver horned and high beam me.

 

I thought that perhaps I know

this driver so I immediately moved over to left lane

and turn on Hazard Lamps.

The Car passed me and I realise that

is someone whom I dont know but he's just venting his anger.

 

So I thought is just part and parcel of driving

and I follow behind his car

( never horn, tailgate and high beam of course )

This time the driver pull over after both of us make a right turn

and I Moved to his side this time.

I saw him wanted to alight his car

in a fit of anger and his wife is holding

his Shirt so bad that it nearly torn.

 

Then I told him wait wait through my passenger window

but he still insist of getting down.

I saw that things are bad and I drove off.

This time the driver trail me to my carpark and

I intentionally make a U-turn to exit.

He stopped his car and get off angryliy.

He gave chase on his foot all the way to the car

Park Exit And I didnt stopped my car at all

in fear that he may punched or do something

funny.

 

I drove to the nearby NPC and guess what, the MATA

says they cant do anything and suggest that

I should have spoke to the other party to clarify.

 

But in my mind I was thinking this driver

was in such a mood that even if I didnt

explain, he would still moved his fist.

 

Why I didnt stopped is because he is

in a angry mind so I didnt want to

provoke aguement and even worst a fight.

 

So what do all think of this senerio?

Should I stopped my car and clarify things

when the drive gave chase?

 

Venue : Wellington Circle

Time : 2110 hrs

My Car : Nissan Sunny

The other's party car : White Toyota Vios

Lic Plate : SGL ****

 

 

P/S : I have use this message to reply

to Lightbreaker on another Thread.

To Mod : if this thread is deem to be

repetive, please erase.

I did make a report but the MATA says

its not fit to be a report.

No injuries, no aguement and I didnt

even provide the lic plate number

( I didnt make a point to remember as

I keep telling myself to stay cool).

 

My only worry is will he vandalise my car??

Sorry, I dun understand the situation the following in red.

 

think I have cut into the a on coming

car lane ( I did signal in advance ).

The driver (same driver who was angry?) horned and high beam me.

 

I thought that perhaps I know

this driver so I immediately moved over to left lane

and turn on Hazard Lamps.

 

How did he end up on the same side as you at the traffic lights?

IIts the same driver. He was in lane #1

and I was moving in parallel with him

before I decided to sped up and switch to lane#1.

So that makes me wonder did I provoke him

by cutting into his lane?

So after I am in lane#1, he highbeamed and horned

me whn his at my back.

So That really provoke me alittle but

I thought its someone that I know.

I turned on my hazard lights and moved back to

lane#2 and he pass by me.

Just wondering,

 

It is a 2 lane road, not on expressway am I right?

 

What is your reason to overtake him on Lane 1? Because he driving very slow or you drive super fast just to overtake him? People won't be angry over overtaking unless it is super fast overtake or blind spot overtaking.

 

When you are behind him, you might never highbeam, horn or did anything stupid but did you drive close enough to be considered tailgating him?

 

Tailgating varies from people to people's opinion. What you feel may not be what he feels

 

 

 

If all of the above are not valid in your case...

 

Then perhaps you just encounter a drunk driver. That is more likely possible.

Bro,

 

maybe you caused him to jam brakes or something when you cut into his lane. You mentioned that you signalled but it doesn't mean that signalling gives you the right to cut straight into someone's lane.

 

Perhaps the situation would be better if you had waved as a gesture of apology for cutting his lane (and maybe causing him to brake) when you were travelling side by side with him.

 

I do agree that some drivers have really low tolerance level. They'll high beam and honk you on lane 2, taunting you to go faster when lane 1 is clear for overtaking.

 

If we were to be more forgiving and friendly, the roads would be a better place to drive on.

Its just conincidence that I needed to turn right

with him too.

 

I wanted to have a talk and understand the situation

when he pulled over but this driver is so mad

and in a fit of anger and somemore needs his wife

to hold him back.

 

So seeing such senerio, I drove off and didnt

expect him to gave chase on foot shortly.

 

Maybe he's pissed off but not to the extent

of giving chase on foot right..

 

I didnt create room for explanation because

he is so mad and I didnt want to end up

lying in the Hospital.
