Do I have to brake for someone coming into my lane?

[bwframe]

I will say that's it not wise to do so while carrying a gun.

I question anyone that carries a gun that gets road rage, and actualky considers getting into an accident with the other driver.

I taught my daughters from the time they could even think of driving that WE DON'T EVER flip any other driver off. No matter what they do, we cannot possibly know what they may be capable of if pissed off.

The other driver might have nothing to live for, just left the murder scene, off of their meds, a cop, etc. etc. etc.

Is it a smart move in today's day and age to antagonize other drivers?

Actually I try to live and let live. You never know how crazy the other driver is.

UPDATE: LMPD charges suspect after fatal 'road rage' incident on - WDRB 41 Louisville News

Happened just last night.

That is some solid advice. You never know the frame of mind other drivers are in and what it would take to get them to flip. The older I get the more I find my self taking it easy when others are getting irate and flipping me the bird... 20 years ago it wouldnt have been the case. Not worth dying over...

Sorta off topic, but I seen someone mention drive a crappy car. I did one better on my Jeep. I have a 99 Jeep with 200k miles. I am putting new bumpers on it. I went with a certain bumper because years ago I had someone pull out in front of me in my first car and I had to get a whole new front bumper for a little hole.

This is the rear bumper I have on it.

this is the front bumper I am having put on.

These bumpers are made of heavy duty steel that is internally braced. I already have some black spray paint if I ever have to use it.

There are more and more murderers out there running around looking for a place to stop and kill themselves. That'd be a bad place to put yourself in the middle of.

My daughter had this happen to her a few months ago. It was written up as 50/50. Even better was the other guy didn't have insurance.

I would rather hit my brakes and avoid the accident then dealing with all the BS of having an accident if I can help it.

Human nature today is to not admit fault, it's rare when a person steps up to take responsibility for their actions. Such a sad time indeed
