Is it commonplace for people who are mad at you for flipping them the bird while driving to follow you?

Question

This guy did and he went out of his way to follow where I was. He provoked hit because he mocked me staring him down for looking at me the wrong way which he was already in the wrong for doing.

Then he followed me around and I apologized but he wasn't mad or anything. He just sat in his car and looked like "what the heck man".

Wasn't him following me crossing the line? Or am I making more out of this than what it is. Does this happen?

Answer 1

Its called ROAD RAGE...in many states it is now against the law. In Wichita (Kansas) a few years back these people were following women alone either to their homes or to an isolated area if she became lost or scared...then they raped them.

I have stopped doing it...even when I lived in New York (flipping people off). PS...did not take the fish off the back of my car either, lololol.

Answer 2

Flipping someone the bird while driving is crossing the line already.

There's only one situation where flipping someone the bird is appropriate. That's in the express lane at the grocery store when the person behind you asks, "Can you count?" because you were one item over the express lane limit (or two or three - why do they have to put candy at the checkout lane when they know many customers have small kids?) .

The expected response is, "Yes, can you?"

Answer 3

no longer in many cases on a similar time as driving too risky yet for a million/2 a year we've the little blind blue haired females that come down and attempt to run us over interior the bypass walks on the mall, the food market, etc- heck yeah- like they might see it- they thoroughly omit seeing you interior the bypass walk. there is one exception and that's teenage ladies on telephones- they already stress like crap the telephone doesnt help.

Answer 4

I once flipped a guy off and he just laughed (I used the wrong finger). But it is kind of psycho if they start following you. There's too many armed nuts out there.

Answer 5

I have followed people before - in fact in utter rage I threw a handful of coins at a car that cut me off!!

Answer 6

YOU crossed the line when you flipped him to start with.That was extremely rude.

I hope you were frightened when he started following you. He could have killed you. Road rage is rampant, these days.

Answer 7

yea it happens. sometomes when I am bored I will follow random cars places. I once followed a news van for almost 3 hours... they called me two days later...

People get ticked off for all kinds of reasons, real or imagined
