    The road rage incident followed up with some petty revenge.
  • 03
    So, there I was driving on the highway, right? An ambulance was coming from the other side with all its lights flashing. I slowed down a bit, just to see if it was gonna turn my way to go
  • 04
    down the road I was coming up on that was to my right. It didn't. No biggie, right? But then, I noticed in my rearview mirror this young dude and his girlfriend behind me, making
  • 05
    rude gestures and acting all tough. He started tailgating me while flipping me off and doing the pinch hand signal implying I have a small . Honestly, it was more funny than annoying
  • 06
    because I was just trying to do the right thing for the ambulance. We were coming up to a red light with two lanes, and I figured, why not have a little
  • 07
    fun? I slowed down to see which lane they'd pick, so they'd end up right next to me. When they did, I rolled down my window, ready for some kind of showdown, but suddenly, they
  • 08
    wouldn't even look at me. Just stared straight ahead like I wasn't there. Kinda reminded me of those dog videos where there's a gate between 2 dogs and they're barking like crazy at
  • 09
    each other like they're ready to attack, then the gate opens and the dogs stop. The guy was driving a nice BMW, and I remembered seeing a cop up the road earlier
  • 10
    because I was coming that way earlier on. So, I got this idea which was perfect as long as the cop was still there. I switched my car into sport mode, revved the engine a bit,

    making it look like I was up for a race. The light turned green, and we both went for it. I knew I couldn't beat a BMW but I knew by the kind of car his parents probably bought him,
  • 12
    he was going to try and show off to his gf and besides I don't condone racing at all, it's dangerous and dumb so that wasn't my intention. I only sped up to the speed limit and stayed
  • 13
    right at it, they ended up flipping me off as they went by. But then, they passed the cop at like 70 mph. I was so happy when I saw that cop was still in that same spot.
  • 14
    I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the cop lights turn on and the cop going after them. I pulled into a spot near where the cop had been to grab a coffee. A bit later, I drove
  • 15
    passed them pulled over by the cop. I made sure to slow down as much as I could so they would see me and raised my coffee up as I passed. They didn't notice me but the feeling I had of my petty revenge, I've never felt so alive.

    Wymas123 15 hr. ago Nice one and good on you for reading the road ahead by giving consideration to the ambulance in case it needed to turn. I bet your coffee tasted wonderful with that little bit of revenge stirred in.

    masterofjay OP. 15 hr. ago It was a very nice coffee, the funny part was I wasn't even going to talk when they pulled up along side me, I was just going to try and explain why I had to slow down because obviously

    they don't realize ambulances with their lights on always have the right of way and you have to slow down or pull over. Could be the difference between someone living or doing.

    Grouchy-Ad4338 · 16 hr. ago Good instant Karma Nice one. You kept your cool while they lost theirs. Good for you. And may be for the cop too, that is if he still needed to issue some more tickets in the month :(

    Complex_Performer604. 9 hr. ago I beeped at a speeder who'd been pulled over in NY State. The trooper pulled us over for 'improper use of horn'. Then a driver passed the cop and us, but failed to move to the left lane; he got pulled over.
