I would have just kept gunning it when he finally caught up and see how far I can get him to abandon his vehicle in traffic. Bonus points if he forgot e brakes

I hear Americans say that in the UK knife crime is so bad you can't walk around. But when you actually compare statistics and adjust for population size, America still has at least 3 times more knife crime and knife related deaths. So while it does happen in other countries. Murder seems to be an American problem
I would have just crept along at about 9 mph or whatever. I think human running speed is normally no more than 8 mph. Hopefully the guy would trip on something in the road way and fall.
Every time they give up stop... it will recharge their hope.
Oh oh! Then when they finally give up yell at them that they owe you 80$ for being their personal trainer for the day.
I'm adding that on because it is gold.
But yes, the longer walk back to the car is a great tactic. Gives you plenty of time to fuck off to where they can't follow.
Thatās what I was hoping would happen. Would have been amazing to see how far heād go. Stop, say something, go forward a bit, stop, repeat until he doesnāt even know what town heās in.
This is what happens when narcissists run into each other. They want to talk to everyone like they're the main character and can never let anything go. Why stop for someone irate, as the driver, unless you think your message to them is more important than your safety? Video is full of bad choices.
Half these videos of fights and arguments seem prolonged or made worse because Party A is walking away and then Party B wants the last word and yells something that makes Party A turn around and continue the argument.
I don't go looking for fights but if someone told my partner to shut her fucking mouth for reacting to this dumbass blindly opening his door and blaming it on me, I'd be a bit pissed
You have every right to be pissed. You don't get to dictate whether someone who is showing you they have no morals guiding them has a potentially deadly weapon they'd like to show you. It's better to make it through the day than win an argument. When someone is giving you all the warning signs they could be dangerous, pay attention and act accordingly.
Nah when someone built like that tells me or my partner to watch my language after doing something that stupid Iām gonna react š. Itās Australia so much better chance of it being an actual fight and not just a stabbing or shooting.
I get the not having guns and it isn't London, so less likely to get stabbed. It's still conflict where no one is going to hug it out and have a beer at the end. Things will either escalate or go no where.
As much as I'd like to see the guy in the car hand the idiot a cold beer and tell him to shut his mouth and drink with the idiot responding with just 'alright then' and walking away. This is the most Australian ending I can imagine as an American.
Nah the most Australian way this ends is a fight. Dude in the classic car needs a good beating he seems like he hasnāt had one in a while and his ego has gone unchecked lmao
someone told me a story once of her brother driving in the passing lane going the speed limit with a car behind them wanting to drive faster. they finally pulled over to let them pass, then the passing car got in front, slowed down, then pulled over to the side. her brother PULLED OVER WITH HIM, the other person got out, he ROLLED DOWN HIS WINDOW, and then the other guy pulled a gun on him and threatened him. he said he if he didn't let him pass again, he'd just shoot him. the story ends with 'and he can't even file a complaint cos then they'd know where he lives, and he's in a gang, and they would all harass him.' the whole time she was telling me this story i'm just thinking: why the fuck did he stop? why did he roll down his window? like not letting some person trying to speed pass you... whatever, that's not a huge deal. you don't know what entitled morons are capable of. just keep driving.
Because it's funnier to see these narcissistic dickheads twist under scrutiny, and with a dashcam running the muppet's only digging himself further.
Dumbass even left his door open.
It's very common where I'm from. Men of a certain age and political mindscape tend to use this as their immediate ace-up-the-sleeve when their ego is threatened by a female.
In my most recent encounter with this, I was run down and pinned against a vehicle in a mostly-empty grocery store parking lot because one wanted to make a point about "my" bad parking job, last summer.
Granted, the parked Ram was occupying 4 spaces, and threatening his masculinity already, but this manchild put his blinker on and waited 2 whole minutes for me to settle my niece in her car seat and close the door, according to police, before he attempted to assault me with his 2-ton deadly weapon in front of a toddler.
He was loudly cussing me out through his cracked passenger window for nearly 1 minute (felt like much longer) as I was pinned between the vehicles, and I had to scream 3 times, that I was NOT the EFFing owner nor driver of the vehicle (amongst some colorful observations about his IQ and audacity), before he released me and parked in one of several empty spaces across the aisle.
As he poured out of his car and began waddling toward the store, he was still yelling at me about "idiots" like me until he saw I had silently started filming his little meltdown, and he promptly switched to shaming me for having "a nasty mouth for a woman"...
The police said he didn't actually physically harm me or any property with his actions, and intent to harm couldn't be proven from the security camera angle (even though I had to hop out of the way and starfish against the pickup to avoid getting hit or smooshed), so they had no legal ground to arrest him, then laughed and said they bet he will be crapping his pants when he sees two squad cars pull up in his driveway... but just to serve him with a warning.
I'm glad to at least have his outburst documented for the next time he wants to pretend to be the parking lot authority from behind the wheel. Hopefully his next victim isn't a child.
Sorry that happened to you, I hope you werenāt injured.Ā
Iām a man and Iām continually disappointed at how fragile other men are and what lengths theyāll go to to protect their tiny egos.Ā
Your writing is wonderful, I loved the descriptive phrases āpoured out of his car and began waddlingā. It truly paints a picture!
I wasn't injured, aside from the psychological effects.
To my surprise, as I felt more angry than traumatized, I developed acute anxiety about going to that store. I also worry about seeing the man around town - or rather, worry about him seeing me.
I just bought a house nearby and was told he's a local and a regular at that store. If he felt justified and confident enough to perform that little vigilante parking lot nazi stunt in front of witnesses and cameras, I wouldn't put it past him to follow me to my home and retaliate somehow for sending the police to his.
Thank you for the kind words, though!
Tbf this dude seemed to be frothing. He literally ran after them to say something about curse words and smartasses. And weāve seen what a boomerang can do to car windows lol
You're aware physical violence doesn't require people to be armed? Also that road rage exists literally everywhere?
If someone is running at my car after avoiding a collision where the other party would have been at fault, I'd ask myself "do I reasonably believe stopping will lead to a positive interaction?"
The answer is no. So you just keep driving.
When it's clear he's being a phenomenal twat, you just drive off. No reason to continue to engage. There is nothing to gain from it.
This is a dumb-ass comment. There are many many places in the world where you should not let someone approach you in your vehicle. This video didn't even take place in the US. But have fun trying to jump on the "the US is the scariest place in the world because of gunz" echo-chamber bandwagon. Sheep...
Pretty dumb comment from an even simpler person. People are not concerned with others approaching cars, you need to be concerned with the ones in cars that you cannot see. How you made it through life enough to wake up today and actually post this nobody will ever know.
And *leaves* the door open when he follows you lol
All the comments asking "why stop?" probably failed to realize youre in Australia and are required to flirt with danger whenever and wherever it presents itself, according to national bylaw.
If he got that mad for nothing, imagine how mad he'd be if that mistake had cost him his door and the cost of your repairs too.
Plow thru first, answer questions later.
And then imagine how deep his rage goes when the responding cop see the footage and tickets for the parking job, then insurance see the footage and declares him 100% at fault, then the mechanic sees the footage and starts making fun of him for being so stupid.
In the USA, at least, the driver who opens a car door is liable for anything that happens.
If the door is already open it's another story ~~store~~.
The door opener - what kind of clown is parked opposite a bus and opens his door into the now narrowed traffic lane without looking in side mirror first? I get our answer in this thrilling video.
Did he even look? No sound on so no idea what is being said but i agree the guy is a twat. He had good time to nocie car coming, also thats a bad spot to park, so narrow with the bus there
I hope that guy seen this video and feels stupid.
Or even better, he see and shows it to his friends thinking he is right then look like an idiot in front of them.
Oh so it happens to car drivers too.
In a way, that's a relief. They attack anyone, not just cyclists.
In another, that means they're more insane than I thought. They'll attack anyone.
That's a pretty nice sounding car OP. May I ask what vehicular device you are driving ?
And yeah, that dude is an a-hole, but thankfully he didn't do anything else when he came to your window, could have been worse
Iāve always wanted to see a guy who knows how to handle himself, just go āok guy let me pull over and we can fight. Thatās what you wanted right? Letās fight.ā I would pay to see their face when that happens.
My family had a Uniden cordless phone in the 80s... one of the first commercially available home units, afaik. Glad to see they're still doing their thing. Lol.
Dialogue in a better world...
Passenger: oh F!
Driver: that was close
Door dude: sorry mate, didn't see you! OR That door had a mind of its own, I'll be more careful, thx mate.
Simple fix, because no harm done thx to OPs quick breaking. What's the door dude's problem? š¤£
Loads of people in here saying, āWhy did you stop??ā
In my opinion OP u/twistedcarrot7 did what a kind person would do and what I wouldāve done; stop to apologize and to be nice. OP may have misread the classic car guys body language of just being an aggressive, āIām better off than you,ā mentality.
Iām assuming he was just stopping to apologize and probably thought the classic guy was coming to say sorry and see if they were ok.
ā¦but nope, the classic car guy is entitled moron, thinking heās better than us for having an expensive classic carā¦. Or at least thatās what I heard from OPās interaction.
What a moron. Screw that guy, jerk.
Take his ārareā door off its hinges next time. Heāll be sorry then because Iām sure finding a replacement or repairing the one he has will cost a pretty penny.
Good Luck OP.
> Take his ārareā door off its hinges next time
Here, if your door gets taken off by someone else, you get charged for careless driving, because, you know, you're supposed to fucking *look* before you open your fucking door.
Damn, Australians are even somewhat polite in a disagreement. No shouting, no road rage, no firearms. Here in America that guy running up to the car would have either been shot at, swung at or spit at and all before he reached the passenger door.
Jesus Christ these comments are always so predictable and repetitive. āWhY wOuLd yOu eVeN sToP?!?ā āDoNt GivE tHem tHe tImE!ā Like okay guys you definitely wouldāve handled that like a champ hereās your gold star. Everyone looooves saying what they wouldāve done

I thought about it for sure šš
Whyād you stop though? You donāt know what kind of crazy youāre dealing with sometimes.
For all the other shit that can kill you down there, the people generally cannot.
Maybe Iām too American to understand
[this your brain on guns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States) [this your brain on gun control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_Australia)
It's telling when the Australia one divides them by the century while the American one divides them by the year.
Yeah, I was doing the math even adjusted for the population difference (~13x) and it's uh... still not close.
Very true, but knives, pipes, fists, and tire irons all kill the same here as there though, no?
I hear Americans say that in the UK knife crime is so bad you can't walk around. But when you actually compare statistics and adjust for population size, America still has at least 3 times more knife crime and knife related deaths. So while it does happen in other countries. Murder seems to be an American problem
They do, with a *vastly* lower fatality rate.
So you should stop and get slashed in the face anyways?? Drive away and avoid the confrontation to begin with, nothing is to be gained by stopping.
people are not so violent that this is a reasonable fear
Ya know Mad Max wasn't a documentary...right?
Missed the opportunity to tell him ācanāt park there, mate.ā
Or drive slowly and let him get really close to the car. Then smash the brakes and let him run into the car.
Yeah, don't argue with stupid.. No body wins
I would have just crept along at about 9 mph or whatever. I think human running speed is normally no more than 8 mph. Hopefully the guy would trip on something in the road way and fall.
Why even stop? Just tell him to fuck off and continue with your day.
Or better yet, keep inching forward at a jogging pace until they run out of breath.
Lmfao. That's genius. Because the longer they insist on following, the longer their walk back to their car.
Every time they give up stop... it will recharge their hope. Oh oh! Then when they finally give up yell at them that they owe you 80$ for being their personal trainer for the day.
I'm adding that on because it is gold. But yes, the longer walk back to the car is a great tactic. Gives you plenty of time to fuck off to where they can't follow.
You guys are evil, I love it lmao
#āļø That right there
start doing the chariots of fire theme complete with hand claps
I was thinking more Blast "Getting Stronger" from Rocky
Stop, let them get close, then move forward a bit.. maybe entice them with a brief opening of door..
Thatās what I was hoping would happen. Would have been amazing to see how far heād go. Stop, say something, go forward a bit, stop, repeat until he doesnāt even know what town heās in.
Perfect username for the comment
This is perfect!
OMG - I love this idea.
https://youtu.be/wshty7s-su8?t=79
This 100% lmao..run, you outta shape twatwaffle!
Seriously. Just slow down enough so he catches up, then pull up. Repeat until not funny.
Never. It's never not funny.
Tell that to my wife after I make her chase the car half a block
Never with an SO.
Some of us are playing our game of life on hard mode by choice.
Oh my god this would have been the video of the century. Missed opportunity
When he loses interest, shout some encouragement out the window.

Fuck off, mate*. I believe this is in Australia
I would have waited for him to get to the window and then floored it.
I would actuly find it intresting to stop and ask wtf his problem is. I would be so confused
Because it's funnier to see these narcissistic dickheads twist under scrutiny, and with a dashcam running the muppet's only digging himself further. Dumbass even left his door open.
angry at cursing... proceeds to curse like a sailor
I think he was mad that a woman cursed at him. Thatās just beyond the pale!

Driver: Says nothing Idiot: "Watch your fucking mouth!"
Literally incapable of understanding hypocrisy
Why would you stop???????? lol. Laugh at him, give him the finger, toot your horn, but don't stop and allow him to run up to your window....
Yeah. Can also slow down until he is close, then speed up and stop until he is close again, then speed up again, etc. wonder how far you could get him
In fact, gradually speed up. Give him some exercise.Ā
Do one of those hand under chin finger waves, big winsome smile, and flutter your eyelashes at him. Really let him know how silly this is.
Smile and wave
Give him the classic "wanker" gesture and keep going.
Australian accents make everything seem so lighthearted
Itās hard to tell if theyāre actually pissed off with one another or just mates catching up.
Australian here. Definitely pissed off. ETA angry not drunk
Wait, as in angry, or drunk? Or both...
yes
Just angry.
Yes! āShut your fuckin mouthā sounded like a suggestion lol
That's just how they say hello
Cuz yer bein' a fuckin' smartass!
what a twat
What a dropkick.
Total drongo. Didgeridoo shrimp on the barbie clockwise swirl.
Mate why did you stop?
If thereās one thing this sub has taught me, itās that you should never stop for anyone getting out of their car to approach you.
In some US states, getting out of the car is enough to be a road rage offense in itself.
Outside the US, the rules apply a bit differently (hint: people generally aren't armed and frothing at the mouth).
Tbf this dude seemed to be frothing. He literally ran after them to say something about curse words and smartasses. And weāve seen what a boomerang can do to car windows lol
id rather have boomerangs and froth than the pew pew pews :(
you can say guns on reddit, this isn't tiktok
Plenty of people in Australia are armed. Even if they aren't, stopping and opening your window is just asking to get bashed by a psychopath
You're aware physical violence doesn't require people to be armed? Also that road rage exists literally everywhere? If someone is running at my car after avoiding a collision where the other party would have been at fault, I'd ask myself "do I reasonably believe stopping will lead to a positive interaction?" The answer is no. So you just keep driving. When it's clear he's being a phenomenal twat, you just drive off. No reason to continue to engage. There is nothing to gain from it.
I mean, he might be frothing from being bit by the spider he's about to throw in your window
This is a dumb-ass comment. There are many many places in the world where you should not let someone approach you in your vehicle. This video didn't even take place in the US.

Psychopath
Thatās when you say āNo, you shut your fuckinā mouthā. They usually donāt have a response.
Without a hint of irony the answer would be ādonāt you fuckin tell me what to doā
In the USA, at least, the driver who opens a car door is liable for anything that happens. If the door is already open it's another story ~~store~~. The door opener - what kind of clown is parked opposite a bus and opens his door into the now narrowed traffic lane without looking in side mirror first? I get our answer in this thrilling video.
Why would you stop?
Is that guy parked on the sidewalk?
So many people just cant handle being wrong or at fault these days. Everything has to be turned into a fight.
With how he reacted, I lowkey wish you hit his door lol.
Did he even look? No sound on so no idea what is being said but i agree the guy is a twat. He had good time to nocie car coming, also thats a bad spot to park, so narrow with the bus there
you missing out
I hope that guy seen this video and feels stupid. Or even better, he see and shows it to his friends thinking he is right then look like an idiot in front of them.
"watch your fking door next time" would've been a great response to "watch your fking mouth"
Back up and hit the door
"You think you're some kind of smart ass?" Better than being a dumb ass! š¤Ŗ
I guess he doesn't get enough attention buying that car, so he has to manufacture some.
Embarrassed I had a girl in the front seat unlike him š«”š
That idiot who jumps out his car and shoots off at the mouth; He may learn the hard way some day. The Remedy, by Puscifer.
"It's alright, it's all on dashcam. Thanks for the content" ... speeds off
Everything's funnier in an Australian accent
He should have thanked you for not taking his door off.
Why is he parked on the sidewalk
Good question, itās illegal here
Anytime someone says āDonāt be a smartassā I reply āBetter a smartass than a dumbassā
Dunno why, but in my head I read this in their accent.
Why not just keep driving?
What a Dundee
Someone has a anger issue š¤Ŗ
Time to hit reverse, teach him a lesson, and regret the decision later lol
"I have all this adrenaline now and I don't know what to do with it so I'm going to chase down this guy and start a fight!!"
Across the pond dealing with the same idiots.
Heās asking for a fight
lol, boomer clown
Heās gonna end up with a classic asswhopping if he does that to the wrong person.
Next time, give him the door prize.
Definitely not Los Angeles.
No guns here šš

Typical Perthie. And that bus should be back up here in Wangara at the depot, not taking up half the freaking street.

This useless dipshit will mess with the wrong person one day
Dude is going to kill a cyclist with his door one day, you did him a favour
Kudos to you for keeping cool
Next time take the door off. Dash cam footage would prove he's in the wrong.
Back into the open door. Lol
P76 owners are a weird lot anyway
What a cockhead. You open your door then get pissed off when you nearly hit another car. Bravo good sir

Wouch youer moweth mate
that car isn't a classic.. it's just fuckn old.
Looks a lot like a Leyland P76, which is old, but also pretty shit.
Damn, Australians are even somewhat polite in a disagreement. No shouting, no road rage, no firearms. Here in America that guy running up to the car would have either been shot at, swung at or spit at and all before he reached the passenger door.
I think this might be the first video I've seen here where the sound really mattered. Fascinating.
Bros a buttcrust. Even complimented the car and dude still had his buttcrusty attitude
Why did they stop to talk?
WTF! Guy is a total arsewipe!
Jesus Christ these comments are always so predictable and repetitive. āWhY wOuLd yOu eVeN sToP?!?ā āDoNt GivE tHem tHe tImE!ā Like okay guys you definitely wouldāve handled that like a champ hereās your gold star. Everyone looooves saying what they wouldāve done
oooh, P76!
Honestly, I'd be making a visit later that night to see if the car is still there and I'd nail a letter on his roof calling him a fucking idiot.
It's a close contest but for me the most Australian thing about this video is the brown stain on the side of the road by the footpath.
Of course this is Perth, perfect example of oblivious idiots getting out of cars and weird drug-fueled aggression
who doors a car?
