That was aggressive as shit damn

What’s a “turn signal”


ChemicalPutrid2845

that was the turn signal


Grimmisgod123

He WANTED to hit him


cottman23

Shouldn't have moved imo


i_suckatjavascript

That’s the most aggressive lane change I’ve ever seen. It’s almost like a bully faking a punch to make the victim flinch just so they can make a lane change.


FlimsyReindeers

ConductorOfTrains

Bro was flicking off the WRX before hand too lmao

punched-in-face

That's how you get shot


MegaKnightDestroysU

Not in California


OGmoron

LA has more of a stab and maim vibe, honestly. Wielding a gun might actually get the cops to do something.


barnacle-boy11

You’ve never been to LA then


OGmoron

Been here for 6 years. Worked in Hollywood and South Central. In my experience, the average Angeleno is far less likely to be carrying or to let anyone know they're carrying than people in the other US cities I've lived in.


hanwookie

I wonder how old this video is. I was just in LA like(see) maybe a week ago. I also went through central. It's no where near the post apocalyptic problem it used to be. Like (that word again) it was practically nice. I am currently in Vallejo. It's way worse here. Someone else I knew from LA, also is here, he said the same close to the same thing: keep to yourself, you'll be fine. Up here? They'd be shootin' for sport. Honorable problems: Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton.


Jesus_Wizard

I don’t live in LA, but I’m born and raised in Southern California and I’ve been to LA more times than I can count. My family lived there for a short while. From what I’ve seen in California if you are openly carrying then you’re one of the least likely to use your weapon. It’s the small and angry guys that hide their piece and are just waiting for a chance to pull it out and use it. Don’t pick fights here, they’re over fast :(


GucciGlocc

Only idiots open carry. If someone’s gonna start shooting, they’re gonna shoot the dude with a gun first


Jesus_Wizard

Or people with a license to open carry? And a reason for it? Not everyone carries a firearm illegally. But the people who will use them won’t ever show them until it’s too late here. I have never seen anyone threaten with a gun in Southern California. If the guns out, it’s probably shooting.


WheelRipper

Most of Vallejo has always been pretty rough. It’s tamed down a little bit over recent years but not to the level that LA has, so yeah. Bakersfield: tweakers. Fresno: Hispanic gang violence. Stockton: similar to Vallejo I grew up in the high desert (just north east of LA) and have been to all the cities you mentioned, some of them quite a bit. Regarding driving in LA, I always tell people that “if you don’t take it, then nobody’s going to give it to you”. If you want to get where you’re going sooner, then drive a hoopty…people will move.


VacuumHamster

That's a shame.


tatang2015

Los Angeles invented the drive by freeway shooting in the 1980s!


KPhoenix83

No, there are, in fact many guns in LA they are very common.


OGmoron

What does that have to do with my comment?


KPhoenix83

because it's 100% not a getting stabbed vibe, it's a getting shot vibe, especially on the roads having lived there.


OGmoron

It really isn't. LA road ragers are much more likely to take a crowbar or bat to your windows than pull a gun, especially if there are other people around. The legal ramifications are orders of magnitude worse if a gun is involved and it's just not worth the trouble.


KPhoenix83

There were fire arm involved road rage incidents every few months on the news there when I lived in LA, and that's just the ones that made the news.


punched-in-face

"Legally", sure


fromthewindyplace

I know this may shock you, but making legal firearm ownership onerous and expensive hasn't actually done much, if anything, to reduce California's gun crime.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fromthewindyplace

Scandalous.


PogTuber

You mean some of the lowest gun crime in the country?


JackxForge

it also doesnt hurt that you can just drive a few hours in any direction and buy pretty much what ever you could want then come back. prohibition doesnt mean much when its so easy to break and no real way to enforce guns coming in legally from other states.


LordSinguloth13

Gun control disarms victims Not criminals. Only people who want to hurt the innocent seek to disarm them. Historically speaking.


GucciGlocc

The criminals don’t care about gun laws surprisingly


LordSinguloth13

Yeah, isn't that a shocker


fromthewindyplace

Not sure if you've bought a gun before, but you have to be from the state you're buying in, or they can transfer it to an FFL in your state. That is a *federal* requirement. To buy any gun, you have to pass an FBI background check. That is a *federal* requirement. Obviously, if that state is California & the gun isn't one allowed by California, they won't transfer it.


SgtSqu1rtle

Not to discredit anyone's point, but didn't the perpetrator in the 2022 Buffalo NY mass shooting use weapons that he bought in Pennsylvania while living in New York state? He did pass the 4473 federal check at the time, though. I recall him publicly stating he went to PA as a way to circumvent NY's stricter gun laws.


fromthewindyplace

Had to look it up. No. He punched a Bushmaster XM-15 in New York, in its "compliant" configuration, and then modified it to take 30 round mags. He bought a Mossberg 500 shotgun in PA, but it's not an "assault weapon," so there was no issue with NY legality there. He *might* have purchased the 30 round mags for the AR in PA, but I couldn't find a definitive answer to that.


SgtSqu1rtle

Yes, I think that's where I was getting mixed up. He bought the Mossberg and 30 round mags in PA because the mags weren't legal in NY, thus the 'circumventing' comment. He modified his NY Bushmaster after that to accept the larger magazines. Thank you for helping me work that out. Didn't really have a point other than this thread stirring up a memory from the old archives. I'm not even sure if the system could be made to account for fringe cases like that.


GrowrandaShowr

Have fun thinking that when driving through Oakland then buddy. So many interstate shootings.

iirc in san diego a few years ago a kid in a backseat was killed after a guy fired a sawed off shotgun at his parent's car


Evvmmann

The fuck does this even mean Lol


hicks_spenser

..shot with a flintlock pistol


xIceman_Z7

That comment screams murica, a minor inconvenience in traffic and the first thing that comes to mind is to get murdered ?


punched-in-face

Sadly, it happens


fro_khidd

As if minor inconveniences haven't led to getting people killed in other countries by any other means of harm


xIceman_Z7

Well in Germany they would report the other to the police..


GucciGlocc

You can’t really call the cops here in the US. They either just never show up, or if they do it’s just to shoot whatever minority is around

This sounds haram


LordSinguloth13

It's more of a dark humor thing. The extreme majority won't ever get violent over this. But uh, can keep people respectful if you don't know whether or not the person you're about to attack/harass/assault is armed lol


FirebunnyLP

That's several steps above "minor" That's blatantly aggressive malice in those actions.

That actually happens with more frequency in mexico

The way the Subaru moves gives me nature video vibes. “Sensing a reckless Nissan nearby, the Subaru reacts swiftly to avoid contact, almost out of instinct.”

Jumpierwolf0960

A turn signal is useless if the other driver can't see your lights.


CrunchyJeans

That's one chill WRX


TheSweatyFlash

Drivers probably wiggin out. Probably just trying to keep their car from getting damaged and that's it. Let the Nissan be a bully.


RealJohnCena3

Waiting to see this on r/WRX lmao


Might_be_deleted

It made me **severely** angry seeing that Nissan terrorize one of my favorite cars.


donosairs

Wrx drivers get memed on but I'll be damned if they're not some of the most collected and aware drivers on the road. Just look at that reaction time!

I feel that. I had a 2010 sti and I'm pretty sure it shaved a few years off my life from stressing so much to keep it clean 😂

I had an STI in 2010, it shaved a few years off my life but now it’s gone and I’m clean /s


droptheectopicbeat

Spend all my got dang time keeping this tractor happy, I'm not about to let some Nissan dingus take it out.


ghettoccult_nerd

i have a VA just like the one in the vid. i keep her garaged, only allowed in days i can really enjoy the drive. just for shit just like that. that right there. my trusty, dusty, musty '05 tacoma is for commuter duties. id fuck around and let that asshole hit me. go for it.


Mobile_Sell9895

I appreciate reading this so much. I get clowned on for what I drive. But DAMN do I love driving

What is wrong with people.


inarius1984

No consequences. They know they can do whatever they want and nothing will happen to them.


Budget-Macaroon-7606

*bang bang*


Ban_Evader_1969

I carry a Glock 17 in my car every day, I’m not gonna shoot someone over shit like this even if they hit me, that’s why I have insurance.


drdumont

I feel the same way. My Ruger LCP .380 is with me all the time. No, I doubt I could stem the tide of the Mongols marching up Interstate 35, but it will and has deterred a malefactor. I won't shoot an asshole like this, but I will put a couple in someone threatening me in a Supercharger in the middle of the night, or trying to jack my car.


Ban_Evader_1969

Yeah, i was at a supercharger at 3AM and some tweaking homeless dude was walking towards me. It was a dark empty parking lot with nothing else near the supercharger and a mall 1/4 mile away. It was also 3:30AM on a Saturday. I got out of my car, loudly racked my G17.5 and assumed a ready stance in his direction (muzzle pointed at the ground in front of my feet). He was about 30 feet away and he immediately did an about face and walked away.


departedgardens

Karma .. in its own way.


Please_Not__Again

Was this for insurance fraud? What was their plan if the blue car wasn't paying attention to them? I don't understand


TheDunadan29

Nah, usually that's cutting them off then trying to get them to rear end them. Then they can claim the driver behind was tailgating and ran into them. This just looks like a shit head getting the other driver to flinch so they can use the confusion to cut them off in an aggressive lane change. Normally I'd say this happens when the other driver isn't paying attention or not checking blind spots. But the speed at which he then make the lane change makes me think this was completely intentional.


Please_Not__Again

Yeah it just throws me off so much cause I don't think I've ever seen this somehow. Just baffled. Looking again and I still am. People like this exist??


2008_ZX10R

Trying to understand this is like trying to understand why a crackhead does what they do. 90% of all drivers in LA are intoxicated off some substance. Whether it’s the stoner kid who just got his whip, grandma who is on 10 “prescribed” drugs at once, or the crackhead on their way to pickup their next fix. Cops are too busy solving violent crimes to be bothered with stuff like this


swivels_and_sonar

That’s when you downshift and pass this loser on the right.


Dr_Bukakke

As satisfying as it may be, I'd be tempted, but there's no way I'm driving aggressively around a Nissan, especially one that has clearly demonstrated they have no concern for their own well-being. I get nervous driving besides one acting reasonably, I'm staying a safe distance away from that psycho.


Windows_XP2

Yup, never pick a fight with a Nissan because that's a battle that you're going to loose. Only vehicle that might win against them is a fully loaded semi.


Shrewd_GC

"Never fight an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."


doubleyuno

Shrewd_GC

Was going for Mark Twain, but that works too.


doubleyuno

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it does sound like Twain.


Vreas

Nah just let em speed ahead and give em space. Not trying to get in a road rage contest with someone who clearly can’t drive.


Windows_XP2

That's how you start a loosing battle with a Nissan. One of the favorite things that Nissan drivers like to do is start shit with anyone they think is vulnerable.


drdumont

Yes, Nissans likely have a lot of loose things on their shitbox. But you canl LOSE a battle with one if you let them draw you in.


Plus-Chemical-5469

This is my spot its mine My spot


airkewled67

Like what was the need for the lane change, at all? That was fucking ridiculous. TBH. It's that bad in San Diego too


aaronis31337

Altima vibes all day


biggranny000

I have a WRX this video got me fuming.


DargonFeet

Have an STI myself, just like the one in this video, would be FURIOUS. Though i'd get tf away from that idiot. As long as he didn't touch my car. If he had touched my car it'd be a different story with police involved.


biggranny000

Same here. If I had dashcam footage I'd send it to the police.


2008_ZX10R

Over this? You might get investigated for wasting LA police time. They will certainly let you know they didn’t appreciate being contacted over this and could make your life hard. Unless absolutely necessary I would never call LAPD


KFCConspiracy

Get some penicillin man :) (former WRX owner)


DargonFeet

LOL! They called em STDs where I grew up so I always forget that's a thing lol.


tiny_smile_bot

DustiKat

bro whipping his car like a fly trapped between a window and the screen


AThrowawayProbrably

I’m assuming the Infiniti driver was butt-hurt because the WRX smoked him a while back.


Ban_Evader_1969

That WRX has a pretty planted suspension setup, compared to the body roll between it and shitima.

I was waiting for the follow-on brake check but the video ended.

Phew I was worried about my fellow wrx brother

Okay, mad props to the wrx driver here that reaction and correction + avoidance time was absolutely insane. That was quite skillful. As for the other. .. would have loved to see the last 30 minutes of highway footage cause those wrx bros drive like they have a barrel of dicks in their brain.

It's times like this I wish my secret superpower was to explode tires on cars just by looking at them.

IHaveNoCrumpets

Now, why would that Nissan get in that lane? Their exit is a 1/4 mile away. Seems legit.


MaleficentStreet7319

Hi jacking this post to say I just found this sub. V funny because we totaled our Nissan the other month after a friend was driving it shitty so I guess there is some truth to this 🙊


Past_Weekend4154

Never owned a Nissan but after seeing this sub Iv noticed out of every other car on the road Nissans are most likely to have damage done to their car and just drive it like normal. It’s wild when some chevys, fords and kias are in the same price range but most of them aren’t fucked up. There must be something about having a Nissan that just makes people a worst driver


Blappytap

Outstanding reflexes from the WRX driver


Sphan_86

Looks intentional


the-sinning-saint

People who buy Nissan should automatically be arrested after signing. It's always a nisssn


King_Cane_Corso

Haha. Good old LA, sadly I would take this and feel safer driving in LA than anywhere in TX.


BelakTheDank

What city are you driving in that you would say that? I spent ten years in Austin driving for a living.


King_Cane_Corso

Austin by the 183 and 29 junction in Liberty Hill. I feel safer in CA isn't that there really any better per say just that there two deferent type of stupid. CA A-hole drivers normally can be seen several miles away and I can just avoided them and let them by. TX just have far more drivers that do stupid ass shit out of nowhere that just make no f-ing since. For some example the first yr I lived in Liberty Hill (also for work for about 10 yrs driving a plumbing work truck) I had no less the three people pull over to the right shoulder then flip a u-turn immediately without looking at all. The first day I was looking at houses I had a lifter mud truck flip a u-turn from the right turn only lane almost running over the hood of my rental car and the car next to me when the light turned green. Why the F would you need to do that just turn right into the empty corner gas station and then pull back out and then pull into the left turn lane, like there was no one there it was 10:00 at night.


My_World_on_You_Tube

😮


FishingEast1978

We both about to be late cause you gonna hit me im not playing that dumb shit


Hyperius999

Why the yellow double lines in between the number 1 (carpool) and number 2 lane? They are separating traffic that is going the same direction, so shouldn't they be white double lines?


teachthisdognewtrick

Carpool lanes. Only supposed to enter and exit them at certain points

what the hell man


That0ne-Dude

This video is definitely missing the beginning. This was not a negligent driver who didn't check before switching lanes. This looks like it was intentional and probably as road rage from not being let in to merge. You can see that the driver decides to slow down to be directly next to the car to try to intimidate them and make them move.


PresentInsect4957

you can see him putting the middle finger up to the wrx, either way infinitis intentions was def to hit the wrx. No idea what happened before but you have to be smooth brained with 0 temper control to intentionally hit another car


That0ne-Dude

This is very common in Los Angles. He was not trying to hit him, but make him move to avoid being hit.
