Default Why I don't street race...

This happened just by my house. Road rage/racing + public streets are never a good mix. Drive safe guys.

People need to relax when they're driving. Its just not worth it. Hell I've only honked once in the past few years, but that person was asleep on a green light

This is a categorically stupid idea, at every level. When and where did anyone ever get the notion that this was a smart thing to do?

Just slow down or pull over. Most tailgaters want nothing to do with someone going too slow, so they'll just go around. Making them panic and/or do something more stupid than following too closely is just patently irrational.

I have stopped honking, period. I will instead flash my lights or just find an opening to pass the person. I noticed it has reduced my road rage dramatically, and I'm not as reckless behind the wheel, as I used to be.

So you hit him, and then he left? Did you call the cops and report the hit and run?

Yes I hit him. So as far as that goes I fugured it was at my fault cause I rear ended him. But he lives in my community so if I find out otherwise I have an idea of where his house is.
