This exact reason is why I do not honk at anyone while driving in Baltimore city. Distracted at the green light and haven’t moved? Well partner we’re gonna ride this next light cycle out together. Leisurely walking in the middle of the street? Do you my friend, the sidewalk is for decoration anyway

You're lucky! I drive to NoVA twice a week. I've seen some really aggressive drivers (weaving, speeding, tailgating). No guns fortunately, but I still breath a sigh of relief when I get to the office in one piece. I go in really early and with less cars on the road, it's speed racer central some days. edit: And not lucky about seeing guns waved around, yikes!

They had zero idea where I was or who was handling it. I called and said I was in front of the stadium from 395 getting onto 95 south towards dc and they said oh that’s golden ring barracks because I passed the exit for Towson .I said I am literally nowhere near golden ring. Then the state troopers called me and said they’d put out bolo but they don’t handle it , it’s the Baltimore city something or another and I have to call another number 🤯

Sorry that happened to you. Me and my buddies were the targets of someone’s road rage while returning from a camping trip in moab. We were almost back to Vegas with a rented ford eco sport. The car is small and might as well been made out of paper. A dude in a lifted Ram whipped up the shoulder and brake checked us at ~80 mph all the way to a sliding halt on the freeway. Life flashed before my eyes I thought I was gonna get crushed by his bumper. No idea what we did to draw his ire - we were just cruising down the highway. Definitely shook us up for several hours so I know the feeling. Those people are a menace to society
