Road rage is a pretty common emotion to feel when you're driving on the freeway. Contrarily, 'road vindication' is something seldom seen and for frequent road ragers, but it certainly would be nice to see some of the bad drivers and muppets you see behind the wheel get a little justice handed to them every now and then. Imagine if every tailgater, swerving, Fast & Furious wannabe got exactly what they deserved right in front of you eyes? Well, that's exactly what happened in this case, when OP was driving on a two lane road on his home turf.

OP had been attempting to make a pass on a lingering sports car at one of the passing lanes on a two lane highway. Since he knew the road like the back of his hand, OP was familiar with all the opportunities to pass and each time he attempted to make a move on the slow driver in front of him, the guy would floor it, going way over the speed limit, just to keep him from passing. Road rage ensued.

Knowing that there was an underpass coming up where highway patrolmen would sometimes lurk in the shadows, OP decided to get the best revenge on the childish driver. Scroll for the full story on how one lucky road rager finally felt a taste of what it's like to have 'road vindication'. Next, check out this story of how a pair of newlyweds were offended when they didn't what they asked for as a wedding gift, but got exactly what they deserved.

    Organism - the filter jumps back in the right lane to cut me off again and slows down to below the limit. Every time I tried to pass him he'd do the same thing.

    Font - VAShumpmaker. 1 day ago I drive a Yaris. A guy pulled up next to me at a light at like 9pm, yelled a bunch of slurs at me, and revved. We were right outside my work, and there's always a cop there, not even hidden.

    Font - Substantial_Rabbit35 +1. 1 day ago It's likely he might have lost his driving license on the spot. In Europe it's quite usual to lose the DL when going more that 20+ the speed limit (in the city and 30+ outside city), not even speaking about the other infractions like overtaking over the double line.

    Font - In which case he wouldn't be even allowed to drive his car home from the place he has been stopped and would have to let it tow home (and pay for it). Some countries (like Switzerland I believe) might even confiscate the car.
