The premise of intention makes your argument null and void.

I've been in situations where other driver's inattention has been almost caused accidents so I can understand the frustration of that dude...

But (and that's a big but) the response is also very risky in itself - it could have very easily escalated... What if, as is common in some parts of the world, the driver was armed? Could have turned really nasty - over what? A minor accident?

Maybe instead of fining drivers $250 or whatever it is the police should confiscate their phone for a week or more - might have a greater impact

I believe these days people just have dyslexia issues with rules (some do help to improve safety like mob phone use while driving) and what they do on the road.

It must be the food they eat..

I see on daily basis in the brisbane cbd ppl using & holding phone (even texting) while their cars still moving.

It is only a matter of time for those ppl to have something bad happen.

I have a few projects on the go up around Caboolture area so I spend a bit of time back and forth on the M1 north. Every single trip I see at least one driver texting on their phone while driving on a busy 4 lane freeway. You can normally tell by the way they're driving, then when you pass them, yep sure enough they've got the head down texting away. From my observations it seems as though the worst offenders are females under about 35.

It makes me wish I was a cop, driving an unmarked car.

I agree that road rage is trivial at most situations. Being calm is the best thing, and those want to get the best out of the situation are the ones who are being calm. Too bad there are so many primitive people out there who don't want the best out of it.

It could be argued that the person texting while driving intends to hit another vehicle.

Well said.

I don't condone this guy's actions in the GIF. Do you know how much un-backed-up data could have been on her phone? A person's whole life is on their phone. He made himself judge, jury and executioner and that's wrong. I don't think he should have yelled at her, either, because words hurt. He should have smacked her. Bruises heal, mobile phones don't.
