Hey guys, I don't know if there's an existing topic like this, but if not, I'd just like to bring it up.

Well yesterday morning on my way to school, I was kinda rushing not to be late. Further on, there was a car in front of me that was driving kinda slow and I used my horn to remind him to speed up a little bit. Well would say that I was wrong that time because I realized there were humps there. After crossing the intersection in Belair-Jupiter on our way to the Vito Cruz area, there's this kinda long road just after sa likod ng Mapua going to the Toyota Makati dealer na maraming nakapark na taxi.

When we were cruising down that road I decided to finally overtake him because he's not going any faster despite of a few horns I did. I took a look at the incoming lane and noticed it was safe to do an overtake since the incomng armored truck I saw was far enough for me to be able to execute it, and the road was basically open. I took the left lane and started to try and overtake and I noticed he purposely speed up, probably so that I would not be able to overtake. I would say we weren't driving over 70kph when we were already beside each other. I was able to be ahead but I realized the armored truck was already approaching near me, so I took a desperate turn back to our lane knowing that I was already able to have enough distance so I won't collide with the car I overtook with.

I saw on my rear view mirror that other car had put on his brakes and I also heard some screeching noise. I immediately stopped realizing that I needed to give even a sign of apology to the person driving. Then the other car started to go ballistic with his horns and then nangigitgit even though I already stopped. He pulled down the rear passenger window and starting yelling the hell out, cursing, and nanghahamon ng suntukan. I really couldn't figure out what he kept on saying but you can probably guess what an angry driver says. :D I pulled down my window and just kept saying sorry's and I was freakishly sincere with it and kept on just gesturing my hands ng sorry, all in all, because I know almost everything were mostly my fault. He wasn't contented with his cursing and he decided to go down the car and headed my side. I had to think quick because I didn't want to get into a fight with someone a bit older and larger than me (he's a college student, I am too :D ). So I pulled up my window and he slammed it with his hand, then went back to his car and drove off.

Well I think we do study in the same school cause we both seemed to be going the same direction but I park somewhere else.

Anyway, analyzing the whole situation, how it went, and how it should have went to me is driving me crazy. I know that I was wrong in trying to overtake, but hell, there was basically nothing wrong with what I tried to do given the circumstances that was there. Alam naman nating lahat ang tamang tancha dito. I wouldn't have overtaken if it was alanganin or anything. Siguro naman lahat tayo ditong mga nagddrive nagoovertake given the right circumstances. Now I'm feeling that I should have at least confronted the guy back. I was very apologetic and all he kept doing was swearing and trying to start a fight. I just don't see how people would go to this extent just because of this, while there wasn't any accident even taking place in the first place. Probably the main reason why I didn't get arrogant that time was I knew that I was MOSTLY wrong, and he was basically bigger than me and getting into a fight with him would be just very stupid.

Well, please share your views, don't flame me though, if you will, please do it in a nicer way, hehe! How would you react to that event or anything similar with regards to "away trapiko"? How will you deal when you are confronted with such thing? What is the best thing to do when in a situation when you are dealing with a hot headed driver?

Thanks Tsikot Brothers!!
