So I came up to an intersection that, up until last week, had a no right turn on red. As soon as that sign popped up it disappeared when I drove through today.

Now I'm not sure if some prankster took it off to see the cops bust some poor schmuck so I stopped. Then some guy in the Civic behind me freaks the shit out. Leans on the horn even though there are a few odd cars coming through the intersection. After I'm sure he's going to shoot me I finally said f*ck it and decided to let any cops watching go and sort this out and just pull into the T-junction.

Guy then roars past and goes through the whole range of "freaking the shit out" emotions. Can't say I'd blame him - I'd be pissed too if I drove a 2012 Civic. With that said, I'd probably go make right turns on red if that sign isn't there by next week.

Any of you guys get pressured into doing something not so wise?

No, not really. They can honk and honk all the want and if there's space, they can go around. Let them get t-boned. If they want to start shit, I carry a folding knife in my pocket, a metal bat in my back seat, and an Xacto knife in my center console. Bring it on.

I bought a 1997 monte carlo when I was in high school because my parents (my mom, mostly) said they wouldn't pay for my insurance otherwise.

I've been sucker-punched way too many times. I'm tired of that shit!!

Plus I live in a neighborhood that's not too friendly, so "an amicable exchange of blows" is rarely ever that.

To be fair there are rarely "amicable exchanges of blows" if you're exchanging blows it's pretty likely it's not amicable, unless you're a. Tyler Durden or b. in a martial arts class.

There aint no honor in street fighting no matter what the video game tells you. Always go for the cheap shot and take them down quick. It is better to be over prepared than under prepared. I carry a 4 lb hammer that I use for brakes and other various jobs because all you need is a hammer to fix things. . . At least that is what I tell anyone who asks. You are better off having some innocuous looking object that can be turned into a weapon when needed.

You should keep a ball glove and a ball with that bat, cops can ding you for carrying it as a weapon. . .

Or Canada. Saw a video where two dudes fought over a road rage incident, then shook hands at the end and walked to their own cars.

EDIT: Found it!

Hahaha- I wish I could just say it's common knowledge that Canadians are the exception to the rule- but I'd rather just applaud your superior YouTube skills.

Russians have a lot to learn from Canadian dashcams!
