She flipped me off

She took both hands off the wheel of her Honda Pilot and held up both her middle fingers at me.

Then she took her right index finger and pointed it at me and acted like she was firing several shots at me with a gun.

Next she drove past me flipping me off with both fingers again.

Okay, now you're wondering what I did to provoke this, right?

Well, traffic was moving at about 25 miles per hour and I looked over my left shoulder saw that it was clear, turned on my left turn signal and changed lanes.

Then a few seconds later I heard a horn honk three times.

I was sure that it wasn't the car that was now behind me because it was still four or five car lengths back.

However it turned out that it was the car behind me.

That's when the driver started using creative hand signals.

Then I thought, ‘Good thing I’m not a gang member. Otherwise her pretend shots might have been met with real ones.’

Okay, let's unpack how this driver goofed up and how you should respond when you meet someone like her.

1) She honked her horn even though it wasn't necessary to avoid an accident.

Be careful when honking your horn. You should only do so to avoid an accident.

2) She should never have held up her middle fingers. She could have crashed or ignited road rage or both.

If someone holds up their middle finger to you, act as though you don't notice it so that you won't respond in a manner that will escalate the situation.

Just keep going on past them.

3) When she acted like she was shooting at me with her finger, I realized that she had anger issues, but others may have taken it as a threat or a challenge and responded with real bullets to her pretend shooting.

If someone starts pretend shooting at you, just realize that you're dealing with someone who has anger issues and that a fight could erupt very easily if you were to engage them.

Do everything you can to avoid them. This may require you to set aside your ego and pride but I’d rather be humbly safe at home than proudly laying dead in the streets.

Even if you thought you could win, you will certainly end up in court where the other person will show up dressed real nice and looking like a reasonable person.

Then it will be his word against yours. Don’t take the chance.

It’s always better if you can avoid the fight.

If however, you can’t avoid the fight, it’s a good idea to know how to protect yourself, especially if the guy is twice your size.

We have a program that will help you do just that, defeat someone twice your size.
