because some one else is blocking him from doing so in the other lane. After alittle bit he is able to make it around you, almost clipping your car. Your all pissed off at the dude but you go on . Later on down the road, you see the guy ahead of you. all of a sudden he looses control of his vehicle and slams into the wall.
What do you do?
Do you say " Thats what you get you Jerk @ff" and keep on driving, or do you say," If you wasnt driving that way, this wouldnt have happened", then proceed to pull over to the side and help him out.
Even though the guy clearly ticked me off, Im not a cold hearted person and i would stop and help.
What you you do?

Getting angry at him puts him in charge of my emotions. I won't be manipulated in that fashion. One would hope that, if his driving was the reason he had an accident, that he will have learned something, but there is no way to tell whether it was his driving or some other factor that drove him into the wall. A blown tire, broken tie rod, steering malfunction, or whatever. I would stop and help.

I've been in that situation many times, up to the point of seeing someone lose control of their vehicle and hit a wall. It's an intriguing scenario, however. In all honesty, I wouldn't stop because it's too dangerous, unless I was behind the vehicle and had enough time to safely pull off to the side and stop my car. Otherwise, I'd keep driving, call 911 and report the accident, and then say a quick prayer for the guy to be all right.

The first thing that I would do is to contact the local law inforcements and give them the information. Then I would stop and help the person. I wouldn't even think about the way he ticked me off, because life is more important. See I think like this; Jesus said, the greatest gift to give is the life of your own. If it comes down to it, I would risk my own life to save this person's life, yes he ticked me off; he didn't understand what he was doing. But I do, My life will be in jeopardy because I understand what I'm doing is for a reason, not a purpose.

I would stop and help I think if you kept going cause you thought the guy was an assH*#@ than you would just be stooping to his level plus I think that what comes around goes around so later on maybe you would be the one in need of help and who would come to your rescue also heres another thought you have no Idea what is going on inside his car maybe hes driving his wife to the hospital cause shes in labor or maybe hes a drunk bastard but has his inoccent kids in the car So YES I would stop

You could never know what was on the mind of the impatient driver to make him drive so recklessly.... could have been grief or an illness and not just stupidity. I would most definitely stop to help in any way I could. To leave an injured person in a wrecked car is just plain cold and inhuman. "Do unto others (as you would have them do unto you)", ya know?

I would stop and help out. I would have to even if the person was driving like a moron. We are all guilty of bad driving from one time to another, so it's only natural to assume that others will too. If I was in an accident, I would want some help.

It would be best to stop and help him (Some states have a law that if you don't stop you can be filed on for failing to stop and render aid) but I would let hin know that you expected this to happen if not today then someday and that you are thankful that his bad driving did not kill some innocent person or child and hope that he learned from this

OMG I know this will sound AWFUL but I honestly wish that upon people who I see driving like total jerks. I know, it's mean and awful, but that's how I feel. I don't get why morons don't get that driving like an idiot can get you killed. People never learn lessons until they face the consequnces it seems. Of course, I don't wish death upon them, but just some good car totalling lol. Maybe then, they'd think twice about driving like a moron again and make our roads safer. I would pull over to help them out and then I'd call the cops and make a formal complaint about their careless driving and try to get them arrested for road endangerment!

I'd stop and help, for sure. I have been guilty of road rage a time or two, and if I had ended up in an accident, I'd hope someone would stop and help me, and forgive me.
I couldn't live with myself knowing that my petty annoyance may have cost someone their life.

That guy was behind me and my bf's mom! The only difference, he was pulled over by a cop for speeding.
