Dustch bag? Are you calling me German?? Dutch?? look at it from the civic's point of view. he pulled up behind a suv going slower than he wanted, maybe he thought he was far enough back, maybe he was trying to tailgate, who knows? But we do know You brake checked him, from his point of view you in a big suv, just tried to make his little compact wreck, in an suv vs. hatch the suv would win hands down. So to him you were being a jackass trying to make him wreck when all he did was tailgate you. I'd be pissed too. Then you allow him to run you out of your lane???? he's behind you, wtf? I'd have brake checked you too, and if you flipped, not only would I have not stopped to help, why should I your in a big strong suv you'll survive, I would laugh my ass off that I in my little hatch was able to make some pussy in a big suv back down when he thought he was big enough to play games on the road. Your lucky no one got hurt, you don't play games on the road, had an innocent bystander been hurt you'd feel like shit for being a partial cause to the injury.

Bottom line the driver of the explorer is the DOUCHE bag, the civic may have been a jackass for tailgating, but the explorer took the first swing, the explorer got what it deserved. If you were just an innocent passenger in the explorer, then I am sorry you were forced into the incident, I would go kick the driver in the nuts for driving irresponsibly while he has passengers. If your the driver then learn to drive properly and you won't have this problem.

Maybe it's the years I have spent on a motorcycle, but you have to drive defensively and anticipate the other driver. Know your limits, and know if you push them you can get hurt. it's not about getting back at the other driver for what stupid thing you think he did, it's about going home at the end of the day.
