Okay, lemme say mine.

One evening I was heading home from Bayelsa, I was tired and stressed out already, time was 9:30pm and I was driving my Lexus then.
At the junction to my neighborhood, a Lexus ES350 without number plates with tinted windows suddenly swerved and blocked me. I flashed him twice and honked once reminding him not to engage in such nastiness.
The put on his hazard light, revved up and slammed his brakes and was blocking me from driving. Suddenly I wanted to over take him and go my way, he revved up and drive so close to me as if to run me to the open drainage but I was faster. I swerved and blocked him. Took out my taser went to his car, grabbed his door handle. He wanted to lock it from inside but was late as I opened it quickly and discovered a small boy of less than 23years old behind the wheels wearing dreadlocks and having some rather nasty tattoos wearing torn jeans, in his car was cigarette, drinks, he was listening to some rather loud rubbish music and looking like a typical yahoo yahoo miss road.

I jacked his collar and pulled him out grabbed his neck and lifted him of the ground. Then with a stern face and thick voice I earned him to observe my car very well and never to attempt any nonsense with me again or I'd put him in a body bag. Then I threw him back into his car, went to my car and drove off.

That was risky. Supposing he was armed and dangerous?

Sometimes, some people just piss you off.
Last year en-route to ebonyi, I overtook a Honda baby boy. The driver for some reason decided he was having none of it and decided to run me off the road. There was no pothole, there was no on coming traffic. It was just sheer wickedness. I was carrying my family. I was mad. If I had not anticipated his moves, I'd have ended up in the bush.
I recovered, gunned it and crossed him at a police check point.

I was deflated when I realised it was a middle aged man.
I rained curses on him.
The policemen settled the matter and we went on our merry way or so I thought.
This dude started tailing me.
I made a few calls and led him towards the police station. When I slowed down to spring the trap, he realised his folly, reversed and disappeared.

He got lucky. Lane violation makes me mad and Nigerians are so freaking fond of it. They just can't maintain lanes.

For blocking me, while I had my taser on and was ready to demolish his face?

uboma:
You are right, so many road users are guilty of lane violation.

Lane violation does not exist in Lagos. Here, it is anywhere belle face especially on Monday mornings. If I'm in a lane that is not moving and I see that yours is moving, I will muscle my way in into yours and stare you down while at it.

Some years ago my brother was driving and I was at the passenger side when one of these crazy Yoruba boys riding a bike slammed his fist on our roof for reasons that defied logic. When my brother shouted, the boy sealed his fate by doing us waka.

My brother was mad. He was driving popsie's rugged 1980's Merc and started pursuing the guy. As for me, I clung to the door and with my hair standing on end, begged my brother to ignore the fool. My brother ignored me and sped after the guy. We almost caught up with him and when the guy noticed we were chasing him, the fool became afraid and diverted to a road ridden with potholes. Naturally we had to slow down but still kept chasing him. My bro is 6'3 and big, and he promised to pummel the biker to an inch of his life, but unfortunately for us and fortunately for the guy, we soon lost him because his bike could navigate the potholes better than our big Merc.

That didn't stop my brother from driving around the hood in the hope of running into him again.

Not a very smart thing to do.

Three years ago, I was driving to work on a rainy morning. I was on the speed lane, listening to some country songs, about 50 meters ahead, a Golf 2 Taxi left the service lane and swerved to the speed lane. I couldn't divert to the service lane without hitting other cars. I had to swerve to the right, off the road, with my legs on the break pedal while trying to avoid my car from somersaulting. My car kept swerving to the right even with the breaks. She finally came to a halt very close to the road divider. First time this happened to me since 25 years of my driving record.

Other cars had stopped by, hoping to rescue me in the event of an accident. I got hold of myself, engaged my gear and drove fast to catch up with the careless driver. I got to block him on the road, he pulled out a screwdriver at me even when he was at fault. I opened my trunk, brought out the hose pipe (which came with the car when I purchased it, never had any use for it until that morning). I used it to whip the driver twice, I kept charging at him when other car owners who had followed the whole scene, pulled me back from harming the driver. Everyone scolded the driver. I got to his car and broke the wiper blades.

@ Ishilove,


The motorcycle rider was lucky to have escaped from your brother. It can be so annoying when one comes across careless road users.

He was very lucky because my brother would have pummeled him black and blue

2010 I arrived Abuja at 11pm by road, my inlaw picked me up at the station,he was driving a Nissan xterra. On our way along that highways outskirt of abuja( don't know the name of the road.) Suddenly a blue BMW 3 series 2000 model started swerving beside us and shouted "mahaifiyarka ta zagi" and speed off. My inlaw got so annoyed and chased after the car. Just at the edge of those overhead bridges my inlaw drove closer to the BMW and hitting at the bumper directing the car towards the edge. The bmw front leg nearly went over the bridge. My inlaw quickly reversed and speed off. Staring at the side mirror I could see the BMW moving through cars on high speed ( just like in the movies) chasing after us. My Inlaw parked his car and brought out a dagger, broke the front glass of the BMW. After raging at the occupants of the b.m. we got into our car and zoomed off. I was so terrified.

I was driving on an expressway with two big lories ahead of me. The lories were just going as if they owned the road. They were slowing me down as I was trying to beat time. I was trying my best to overtake the one directly in front of me but oga no gree o. He was just blocking me anyhow. Little opportunity I saw, I just put head. I overtook the one in front of me. He did not see it coming. Me def I was just feeling myself. Remaining one lorry. That one just took it upon himself not to let me pass. The more I tried, the more he blocked. As I was still trying the guy I had just passed came with full speed. It was as if he just realized himself. Jesus! He started blowing horn anyhow trying to overtake me. I no gree o. Me that just manage to overtake you. We started doing fast and furious on the road. I don't know how it happened but he bullied me with the size of the lorry and horns. He overtook me. Mehn I was not having it o. I started blowing my horn to overtake him. The oga was just speeding, me too I was speeding. Somebody noticing us may think we had an issue. The two lorries had luck that they diverted to another direction while I continued straight. That day I was so determined to overtake two of them....at least to take back my dignity

I shared this on nairaland sometimes ago.
Mine was around Oct 2015 along Lokoja-Abuja expressway. Was going to Kaduna with a tokunbo 2001 camry from Lagos. I drive very fast and safely.

I saw this lone flashy Prado with Niger state government house number plate and tried dusting the car as the driver seems not official..... Casually dressed....... The guy saw me from his high place in the Jeep and started matching my speed we were side-by-side when we got to a town along the road with rampant motorcyclists.

I was on the speed lane and he was on the other side when I saw that a motorcyclist was on his lane ahead and thought I will lose him when he brakes but to my horror, the guy started navigating into my lane while pushing me into the little side space before the road separator with my horn blazing and my brakes crunching on the road. I was so close to having an accident that day, my mirror even scratched the separator. I was scared shitless but this fear transformed into raw fury immediately and after escaping this ordeal, I gunned the engine and overtook the Jeep to get in front and sped forward with him in hot pursuit to meet another car on his lane(all this while I was watching my rear view mirror) and he switched to my lane. Not minding what will happen to my rear, I took this moment to have my sweet revenge by slamming real hard on my brakes with both legs(something I never did before).

I watched him swerve madly behind both cars and almost running off the road with his brakes screeching and navigating to the sidewalk. I really thought the Jeep would roll over and thankfully, we were clear of where the motorcyclists were plenty or else he would have killed people that day.

I resumed my drive while the guy fell behind and I never saw him again till I got home in kaduna. In all my years of driving, I've never been more scared of my any incident both the one done to me or the one I did. I satisfied my rage notwithstanding.

you almost died because of show off.... Smh

You must be a monk if you think you can’t be annoyed on the road.

been annoyed is different from been stupid... Road rages are dangerous and can lead to death and body harm

How many nairalanders don enter cars for their life

Make I dey go

I once chased a man for endangering my life while answering calls and driving. He was just looking at me, startled. I guess he was lost in thoughts. Problem wey dey this Nigeria plenty abeg. Some people dey drive reach house and they don’t even know how they got home safely.

I noticed guys are fond of unsolicited racing. Once I notice anyone trying to do that nonsense with me- I apply my brake and tell you to go.

One man was carelessly speeding next to us and horning. My mom was driving in front of him at some point and the man just vexed drove in front of us and stopped suddenly right in the middle of the expressway.

He then spent the next few minutes trying to stop us from moving with my mom swerving to avoid him like one action movie.

I never even get bicycle talk more of car cef ;DI never even get bicycle talk more of car cef

Incase you ram into road divider and your condenser got spoilt,I do sell new once ooo at cheap prices

I ain't a speed racer

If you have a future you won't engage in road rage. Many that involve in road rage are in the graveyard

Hm.
Well done James Bond! .

I'm enjoying this pls, more abeg...

Road rage is bad. I have almost died several times. Many have died. Anger works no righteousness.
