Road Rage Stories Where Everybody Blew A Fuse
Rage on.
Published 1 week ago in Funny
There’s something about a steering wheel that turns normal people into honking, shouting, gesturing maniacs. One second you're humming along to the radio, the next you’re inventing new curse words at 65 miles an hour. Road rage isn't just anger, it’s performance art. A symphony of slamming brakes, heavy sighs, and muttered insults only your dashboard can hear.
This isn’t just a slideshow, it’s a deep dive into the moments where patience goes to die. The horn-happy, lane-hogging, finger-flashing theater of pure, unfiltered human frustration. If your blood pressure rises just thinking about someone not waving “thank you”, you're in the right place.
These are the stories that crank the Angermeter all the way to are-you-kidding-me. Hilarious, heated, and horrifyingly relatable; every single one is a reminder that behind the wheel, we’re all just one dumb move away from losing it completely.

Tailgated by a Speed Demon, Ticketed by Karma
“On my Ls with an instructor, a car started tailgating me in a school zone while I was going 35-40 km/h. The driver sped through the bus bay, cut in front, flipped me off, and took off. We kept driving and then saw him getting pulled over and ticketed for speeding in the school zone.”

One Coke, One Milkshake, and a Drive-Thru Meltdown.
“At McD’s drive-thru years ago, the guy in front of me crawled at maybe 15 in a 30 and was all over the line, an oncoming driver slammed his brakes and screamed at him. Drive-thru guy chucks a Coke at the other bloke and bolts, so I follow and repay him with a milkshake to the head.”

Tailgater Hit 120 with Two Kids in the Back
“Guy in a Cavalier tailgates and swerves behind me. When 2 lanes open, I let him think he can pass, then dust him. He starts hitting about 120 mph. At the next red light, I spot two kids in car seats in his car. As soon as it turns green, he peels off like a maniac, swerving through traffic.”

Angry Mom Chases Teen Cyclist, Yells Like It’s Her Hobby
“As a teen cyclist, I slipped through a gap between cars at a light. The car I passed followed me onto a side street, pulled in front, and the driver (a woman old enough to be my mum) started yelling loudly, accusing me of nearly causing a crash.”

Lady in a Porsche Tried to Side-Swipe Me, Hit a Wall Instead
“A lady in a Porsche Cayenne kept trying to pass me on the shoulder while I drove my beat-up ‘93 Camry. I kept speeding up. She stayed on the shoulder, screaming and flipping me off, trying to sideswipe me. Then, she hit a dead-end wall on the shoulder and had to stop.”

He Road-Raged Me… Then Realized I Was His Neighbor
“Got road-raged by a neighbor who didn’t know I lived on the street, until I pulled up outside his place. Told him to pull his head in or I’d start complaining to his landlord weekly. Mentioned the owner’s name, and his attitude changed real quick.”

Big Truck, Small Brain, Rear-Ended Anyway
“Merging onto a busy road with no gaps, I waited 20-30 seconds. Some guy in a giant F150 behind me got mad, pulled out to yell through my mirror; blinding me to traffic. We ended up waiting longer, he gunned it, then got rear-ended right after. Weird, since he was the only one who could actually see traffic.”

I Swerved the Pothole, They Found It the Hard Way
“Car flies up behind me, tailgates hard, but just sits a meter off my bumper for ages. I tap the brakes a few times, no reaction. Eventually, I approach a deep pothole I know well, aim straight for it, then swerve at the last second. They hit it dead-on. Backed off fast and vanished.”

Van Tailgated for 5 Minutes, Then I Coasted to Victory.
“Driving late at night on an empty road, I was doing about 75 in the middle lane when a van came up and started tailgating hard. Gave it 5 minutes, then coasted with cruise off; got down to 40 before he finally snapped and swerved around me. Re-engaged cruise and kept going.”

Flipped Off a Psycho, He Did a U-Turn Into Oncoming Traffic.
“A guy cut me off at a sketchy Tucson corner. I flipped him off and honked. He then did a U-turn, jumped the concrete divider, and came at me the wrong way in traffic, screaming and flipping me off. Told my ex to duck, thought he might have a gun.”

Blew Past Me in Rage. Got Schooled by a School Bus.
“Middle-aged woman blows a double-yellow past me for accelerating “too slow.” About three-quarters of a mile up the road she gets stuck behind a stopped school bus letting off kids. Me and my dad cheering: ‘Come on, look behind you. You know you want to’.”
