That is completely ridiculous. People like that should be neutered. Talk about dangerous and unnecissary. Did the mazda driver give him enough room? To me, it looked like he did, not to mention he was keeping pace. Coming to a stop the way he did, getting out, and screaming and cursing to the other driver is way over the top. He should have pulled over with his signal on and let him pass. I drive Calaveras road on occasion, wonder if I'll ever run into that a**

Apologize for the language in this photo, I found this circulating on Facebook

lol, I remember a bmw did the same thing to me @ tilden park in SF. The bmw saw my car and wanted to pace me, I went ahead and had a little fun. As soon as it's not safe, I just drive slow...then when I got tired, I just drove the normal speed. He did the same.

and... he was not able to keep his ultimate driving machine on par with the fatty I was driving (a modified fatty).

I really like the 3Series, I just think that the car gives the driver some sort of sense of supremacy (ie arrogance). In this guy's case I think it was a mix of that and him being a douche lol

The guy is a douchebag, the 3 series is just a car, I see plenty of 3 series that have normal drivers.

That picture of the guy is gonna ruin his life another reason to not be a badass and get out of your car, the new weapon is a camera a gun is scary but photos and vids will do so much more damage

haha i hope you mean that as a joke (when i said bmw drivers, it was a joke). otherwise it's unbelievable you draw that kind of conclusion from the brand/model.

i have seen plenty of lexus drivers without brains, umm...

You know what guys, I have been on the other side. It's really annoying when these guys in Civics, mazda 3, etc started tailing on your *** like they have something to prove to you. It's REALLY REALLY annoying.

But, i just pulled over to the side of the road and let them pass.

that's what i do too. being in the m3, it's just the target of a lot of chases, it almost comes with the car for free... they chase after you all the time. sometimes when i get bored or annoyed, i just pull to slow lanes and go slow and let them past. i am totally fine with that.

but sometimes they decide to slow down and tail me again, now that will get to me

stopping the car in the middle of the road and stepping out, that's stupidity

It was mostly a joke, but a vast number of Bimmer drivers that I have encountered think they own the road. I think only Hummer drivers are worse (not all of you), just the ones I've encountered. I was going for the Jeremy Clarkson type view.

That guy's lucky he doesn't live in Florida... You'll get three hot ones in the chest for acting like that. You NEVER approach someone's car in the middle of the street in an aggressive manner here... YOU WILL END UP DEAD. If you cause the driver of the chasing vehicle to fear for his life, you better be prepared to suffer the consequences...

I don't think he was riding his butt at all. He completely overreacted.

Heck the people Ive ran I try to TALK to them after in most cases. A few times the guy found me here or I found them on another forum an mutual respect is given (usually shock cause a Lexus is winning or keeping up lol)

Neither of them should have a license. The Mazda was purposely effin with him as you can see in the video he tried to tail him, the BMW can't handle every day situations involving person to person contact. They are both a menace. One just a lot more than the other.

We should make them both drive a Prius for one year.
