      There are some insane drivers in Germany as well, although it probably seems harmless to you, since for example passing on the right is not allowed here. Having said that, the craziest thing that ever happened to me was a guy pulling a gun from his glove compartment and brandishing it in his car while cruising alongside me at 100 mph. Apparently, I didn't get out of the way fast enough and he didn't appreciate me flipping him the bird in response to him flashing his lights at me. Fun times on the Autobahn

        @Tago-Mago that would be a felony charge probably with other charges like menacing added to the brandishing in many if not most jurisdictions here. Absolutely crazy behavior and something I’m surprised to hear about outside the USA. I hope you got their plates and held this maniac accountable.

        Think it, be it.

          With the pistol laws in Germany being what they are, I don’t think that driver gives two shits about being compliant.

            @mclaincausey I took his tags but didn’t bother because it would end up as a he said he said situation. I do know that he is a frequent flyer with the police

              QFT - not the top of his concerns......

              And in his defence, he probably knew that Carsten has some English blood.....

                I would imagine a brandishing allegation would call his license to own a pistol into question in a country that actually has gun control laws, though I am surprised that someone with a rap sheet would be allowed one in the first place over there.

                He very clearly doesn't have what it takes to safely and responsibly own and carry a firearm. Hopefully this won't be exposed in a more dramatic situation.

                Think it, be it.

                  @mclaincausey I'm going to assume that a, he doesn't have much in the way of impulse control, and b, he didn't bother with a license in the first place.

                    Just got off the phone with insurance. After giving my statement they told me the other driver admitted fault and they officially said I’m not liable. Never a doubt, but still a relief to know I won’t have to pay my deductible.

                        On the Garden State Parkway in NJ the speed limit is 65MPH,so I’ll be in the middle lane doing 75-80,and,I’m not passing anybody,and someone will come flying by me,and I’ll be startled and then I’ll see someone who is seemingly chasing him,and they’re weaving in and out of lanes. Probably some sort of road rage situation. And of course no police to be found.
