I used to always get people doing crazy things in response to things I'd do on the road... Mostly accidental things like cutting someone off on accident, and things of that nature. I try to be a curteous driver and try to not **** people off but we all make mistakes sometimes and the result is someone with terrible road rage trying to do something in response to your action... People have done all sorts of stupid things, anywhere from tailgating me and turning on their high beams, to trying to run me off the road/physically fight me... They see a guy in a tiny little japanese car and think they are holier than thou because they have a big car/truck/SUV...

Recently however, this has stopped completely... People wont even so much as LOOK at me anymore when before they would totally flip out from road rage... How is this so, you ask? The solution was simple... I got a personalized lic plate that says "GUNATIC" as well as a huge sticker on my back windshield that says "GUNATICS.COM" and below the text it says "Your source for guns, inside and out". In the 40k+ miles I have driven, I haven't even had a single person do ANYTHING that would even remotely resemble road rage... I can tell that people will get mad, speed up like they are going to do something, then suddenly they back off and totally ignore me (right as soon as they see the lic plate).

My friend has a pretty big GLOCK sticker on his back window as well as some other gun stickers like HK, etc... He also says that since he put the stickers on his car that he hasn't been a victim of road rage at all... It's been a few years for him and he drives A LOT, not only that but he's a super aggro driver! I've had my lic plate and sticker for a little over 2 years...

Just thought I'd share.

 

I wonder if that helps cure car jackings as well

 

I saw a car with a bumper sticker that stated, "I am H.I.V. Positive". That would keep me away!

 

Hahhaha! and below it the sticker should say "I keep my blood in a spray bottle".

 

this works too

I had a feeling your "cure" would have something to do with firearms....

 

For someone with their location as "Location: Kommunist Kalifornia", why are you rolling your eyes at the 2nd ammendment right to own firearms? Shouldn't you be the opposite?

 

hateroo you communist

 

I'm not opposed to firearms, I'm not opposed to the 2nd amendment, and I am the opposite of most Californians. I'm just rolling my eyes/laughing because of your method of dealing with the issue lol.

 

What??

A ****ing sticker!??

 

Naw, not over the sticker. Just about every solution that he comes up with has to do with firearms
I love guns just as much as the next guy, but c'mon think outside the box! lol

 

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do.......if someone is intimidated they are less likely to *** with you..........me personally If you pissed me off id let you know it either way.......but i'd also be sure to duck if you pulled out a gun, and i'd also think.....hmmm maybe this guy has a gun and is a psycho.......................everyone I know who is into firearms is insanely responsible though, kinda funny.

 

Yeah, totally... Almost all firearms owners are VERY responsible, so personally if I saw someone with a "GLOCK" sticker on their car, I would assume that this person would be less likely to pull out a gun than someone who doesn't have the sticker because once you have a felony you lose your rights and can never own a gun again.

This method for dealing with road rage wasn't intentional, it was just a byproduct of plugging my website and just sort of happened. I didn't intentionally put the lic plate and sticker on my car to intimidate people, I did it to plug the website that I'm very proud of, just like Alex should have had a lic plate that said "i-club" or something...

 

i thought the post was pretty funny.......and really its not a bad idea.

 

you never know these days...someone may be strapped in their car...tailgate them and they drive up next to you and blow you away, or those dumbasses that want you to pull over and start crap with you...what if you were to pull over and pull out a gun on him, wonder what he would do then?
