It is illegal to stop in the middle of the road and confront another driver. It is obstructing traffic at minimum but can be classified as road rage or harassment.

OP has no authority to enforce the speed limit with her honk. And the other driver is not obligated to obey the impatient honk. So, just stop honking at people bossing them around.

Stop holding up traffic by driving so slowly.

May the driver in front of you drive even slower just to make your blood boil. Leave earlier if you can't get to places on time.

I've got no problem being on time. Just have no desire to let some boomer slow down traffic for no reason.

Ok control freak. Get some meds to calm down the urge to control others.

By driving 10 under the speed limit you are in fact controlling others. Lot of projection there.

If driving safely through a neighborhood is controlling, so be it. Better than raging out in my car and honking at others. Then coming to a message board to cry about my bad behavior.

If you have to drive 10 under the posted speed limit to be safe, you shouldn’t be driving.

It’s fine on a neighborhood street. On a highway I agree with you.

OP is the type of obnoxious women I can't stand and that discredits us. It's the "I'm a little female and he's a big scary man!" Complaint. It's ridiculous and this type of attitude is exactly why people don't take women seriously with their complaints.

And worse than that she played the thank god my kids weren’t in the car card. All because she’s feeling entitled to dictate, with a “friendly” honk, that the this guy speed up in a residential street. I’m team Porsche.

But we’re talking about North Arlington here.

The man stopped - close enough to my car that I couldn’t escape - got out, walked towards me, and asked me what the problem was. I am a woman in my early 40s. He was probably 55. I just said the speed limit is 30 and he said he’s going below the speed limit because it’s for safety not for my entitlement. Which doesn’t make sense and was also quite rich coming from a guy in a Porsche. I was so scared and didn’t know what to do - I think he realized that there were lots of people around us so got back in his car and drove off.

All I was thinking was thank god my kids aren’t in the car and also this is someone’s husband and probably someone’s dad. So if your husband drives this car around Arlington - it has some big beads hanging from the mirror - and has a ruddy complexion with a lot of silver hair, he is psychotic and scary but I suspect you already know that.

In Virginia? My teen drivers have had it repeated many times that many Virginia drivers have a gun in the car and itching for a chance to use it.
If someone is driving fast / slow / erratically / distracted, just leave them be.
They might be lost or having a seizure or angry about their job or having a bad day.
It is NOT your job to fix or correct them. You do not know.
Just get the freak out of their way or wait patiently.

I would be team Porsche because you can't honk at people going too slow. But I have a feeling he was distracted on his phone which is all too common. people put your phones AWAY

The confrontation was wrong, but OP, please be aware that there is a crosswalk at Military and 38th, so he may have been slowing for a pedestrian. I live in this neighborhood and have seen people try to pass on the right in the shoulder and bike lane when drivers stop or slow down for a pedestrian that the trailing car cannot see.

I just don’t understand anyone being upset about someone going slower on that section of military. This is our neighborhood, even though some people use it as a cut through to DC. As has been stated multiple times it’s also a long steep hill so harder to stop if someone starts entering the crosswalk.

OP is just another Karen who got called out.

There are like 600 Arlington county police jobs open - if you are so into traffic enforcement become a cop. Otherwise stop honking at people for no reason.

And yes, it’s psychotic to get out of your car if someone honks at you. Grow up, fragile feelings.

Speaking of morons - ^^^ here’s one ^^^ who thinks “boomers” are in their 50’s

Thank you for pointing out that his reaction to her honk (whether other posters view it as aggressive or appropriate) was some serious escalation. He was overreacting in a scary way.
