'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

What? I didn't say I would duel him at high noon with a Colt revolver.. Did I word my post that poorly? Perhaps I should have just said "I would shoot him"? I don't know. What I do know it that it shouldn't be hard to decide which is worse between self defense and road rage.
Or, much more likely, he'd have just shot you instead.
That aside, the very fact that you are agressively driving your "I'm a tough motherfucker with a gun"-point with the same attitude shows you likely are all but that. You are simply acting too much like a negative gunowner stereotype for anyone to take you seriously. Either you're acting with the express intention to come across as the said stereotype with the intention to rile people up, or you simply really are one of those rare stereotype cases.
That stereotypical attitude includes, by default, overblown ego and lacking sense of realism, both which ooze from your comments that border on rage as soon as someone dares to cross your oppinion. You do not exactly give the calm observer any other choice than not take you seriously or not take you seriously.
I swear to fucking God if what the guy in the video did try to do that to me, I would pull over, drag him out of his car, take my fucking phone or something and break all the fucking teeth in his mouth. What he did is RIDICULOUS and dangerous. Hell, if I saw him do that to someone else (and it wasn't busy New York traffic/roads) I might do that.
I don't get roadrage for no reason, although I do like to drive fast, but I really hate it when people drive stupidly. That really isn't cool. I think the police should revoke more and more licenses from bad/crazy drivers.

Oh and I'd have called the cops immediately.
He probably would have the right to press charges against me but I mean, look how crazy he is. You can't just drive around like a turtle and do nothing while trying to avoid him until one of you run out of gas.
I'd only "assault" him if he continued to pursue me. If he followed me once, even twice I'd just ignore it. But omg at the number of times he followed that guy.
I never fully understood road rage when I grew up in a rural area, then moved to Buffalo, NY. Now, as someone that lives in the Washington, DC area, I finally fully get it. The self important fuckers in this general vicinity regularly endanger the lives of others for no apparent reason other than a desire to assert some sort of artificial dominance. Throw in the way many people endanger cyclists here and I can fully see why someone would desire to beat the ever living fuck out of another driver.

Ive wanted to get out of my car and beat the shit out of people a few times. One time recently there was a car going steady with me in the left lane, there was a car coming up in the right lane so i had to use my breaks to get behind the car in the left lane. When i got behind that car he randomly starts going 10 miles slower than he was just because i was right behind him. I was tempted to follow him home and beat the living shit out of him. But then i found out it was a woman driver (big surprise lol) so i just called her a cunt 20 times in my brain and went on with my way.

He doesnt have to see you and slow down if your backing out of your house. Hes in the roadway and your not so you yield.
Mostly the few roadrage moments I had when cyclists without lights and typical ''badboy'' attire ride themselves right infront of my car, badly enough, I can't serve that dish back to them as, in any way im the one who was wrong, eventhough they are wrong... pretty annoying.
oh: And Belgian drivers, they're *brrrrrrrrrrr* ... and polish drivers, both are quite dangerous.
Except I never said or implied "I'm a tough motherfucker" I find the the use of a gun to be the exact opposite actually. It's not like I said "I would get out and beat the shit out of him", because I wouldn't.
I never got mad nor did I "rage" at anyone who crossed my opinion. I defended myself from personal attacks, that is all. If someone said "I don't think a gun would be the proper answer in this situation" I would respect their opinion, but that is not what people were saying. People instantly jumped on the "internet tough guy" crap and then started trolling me. Sure my original comment may have been poorly written but that is just part of who I am, "I would have shot him if he bull rushed my car like that" seemed like a boring comment to me, so I rewrote it. This is a forum after all, not a serious political discussion.

Every time I walked home from school for 4 freaking years. A crosswalk that the light says people can turn to cut across, pedestrians or no pedestrians. Clearly they just forgot "always yield to pedestrians" and replaced it with "HE SHOULD HAVE MOVED FASTER! It's not my fault I ran over that cripple!"
Thats crazy, not sure what I would have done tbh, probably the same as him and drive to the nearest police station. Lucky he had a camera going too, I never understand why people film their driving though, or is it to catch people out like this?
Damn, dude went crazy.
Years ago, a semi tried to run me off the interstate, passenger side had to get in the grass. I swear I didn't do anything intentional. I don't even remember what transpired. But I'm a pretty defensive driver. If someone wants to pass me, I make it easy for them. I rarely go over the speed limit, stay in the slow lane unless I have to pass too. People get angry sometimes.
If dude did that to me alone, I'd try to get away. If my family was with me and he kept trying to run me off the road..yeah, I'd pull over and beat his ass.
Not a tough guy, just a father.
This Amsden guy is one crazy kid. Probaly one of those guys who starts all the road rage.
crazy driving.....wow.
