"My ex bf best friend did it out of road rage. The slightest inconvenience would set him off. Like really badly. At first I kind of thought it was more of joke since they used to pick on each other and joke around. Until I got into the car while he was driving. I was seriously worried. My dumb ass did it again but I swear that second time was so bad I absolutely refused to get in his car ever again. Sometimes it became a real hassle when we all three hung out and went places, but i didn’t give a shit. There was even a few times when I asked my bf to come pick me up or give me a ride and he would show up in his friends car with his friend driving. So I absolutely refused to get in. I would rather spend money in an Uber than ride a mile with this idiot behind the wheel.
In that one year I knew him, he went through 3 cars. By the time I broke up with my boyfriend, his friend had 8 car accidents. Well, they were not accidents. They were all on purpose. 8 of them, he was only 23 yrs old. All of them were because he would break check people and they would crash into the back of his car. None of them had cameras, which were really not as popular as they are today. And all 8 he got big payouts for them. The weirdest part was this guy was extremely nice, really sweet and funny, always super chill even in tense or serious situations, kept a level calm head and even really shy at times. But the moment he got in the drivers seat, it was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
What can we say about that? For sure some people lost control of their mind when issues occurs in traffic. We cannot know prevent in what spirit state a driver is in the moment. I beleive that if something occur, the best way to get out of it is to let it go and accept that everything is possible on streets. On another side, people do think that they can say anithing respect a situation because is an one on one confrontation and who has the right story, each driver will have his own explanation.
This is the big problem. Most of these people feel invincible because unless you have a video of exactly what happened, you're screwed if you hit them. Many people go off the road and wreck their own car trying to avoid the collision. Personally I think dashcams (front and back) should be mandatory on all vehicles. Or at least standard equipment. If you want to turn it off so there's no incriminating evidence if a cop pulls you over that's on you, but the majority of people would leave it on and I think that would really change the way people behave on the road.
No hundred percent solution is available to that kind of situation. Maybe the best way is to do some prevention by thinking of what could be our reaction over certain situations, and then have a reflexion on what could be the better option regarding Pros and Cons of possible consequences.
