Most of us most likely have seen the commercial where a road rage driver accused a innocent man of brandishing his weapon. I had a road rage incident about a year ago and it has really got me to thinking.
I had a incident a few years back when a Man in a Pickup truck on a Early Sunday morning came flying down the road. I looked to make a turn and saw his car coming way down the road. I pulled into his lane like I have thousands of time. I did not realize how fast he was going so he came up to my rear quickly. He had plenty of time to move over to the other lane. He did move over and got next to me and would swerve his truck close to the side of my car.
I would slow down and not engage him in any conversation. He keep this up, constantly yelling, constantly swerving his car into my lane next to me. And pulling in front and hitting the break.
I remained cool, again did not engage him in anyway. Finally I saw a turn in the road and quickly waited until the last second and did a quick U turn and then more turns. He could not find a turn to follow me as it was a divided median. and blocked off.
I had my cell phone at the ready, but did not want to take pictures of him and his reckless driving as I felt this my anger him more. He was already out of control.
One of my fears is also this guy saying I pointed a gun out and threatened him. Something I would never do, but this was the type of man that would say this. Since then I have thought about this and have been looking for a camera that will video tape myself in the car and simultaneously filming the car in front. One accusation can change your whole life. He does not have to be true.
Dash Cam.---My GPS has a dash cam, but did not have this at the time.
Dash cams for Uber drivers is something I am looking at now. Not for UBER but for CCW in a vehicle. Here is a link of why one may be needed.

I have often wondered what was going on this guy. Something in his life was going South. And the sad part, was he had a young boy in the car that I could see was very frightened. I really felt sorry for the kid.
