I was second vehicle in keep turning right lane, the driver in front stopped for no reason and my front fender went under her KIA. She jumped out of her car, started screaming and swinging her arms to attack. No damage to her car and only scraped top of front fender. Some dialog and she was more irate, then was threatening violence!

Last time I had someone do something like that, they literally tried to run me off the road at 70 mph. Removed my helmet and threw it at their windshield to stop them.

If you were to "kick a door" now it would most likely be classified as road rage and you would get arrested.

Unfortunately you are correct! In N.H. I lost my temper at a cage driver & was charged with "Aggravated Assault" ( a felony) so now I have a record & I had to close my motorcycle shop & pay $300 to get a record annulment! Moral: Don't let things build up inside you! Let it go! Irish
