Default Angry merging motorist gets clever revenge
Angry merging motorist gets clever revenge



And in today's episode of Road Ragin' Russians we have this, one big Toyota and one little Toyota trying to occupy the same space in line. Since we know that isn't possible without the word "quantum" being involved, one of them has to give, and surprisingly, it's the big Toyota.

Yet when the Prado SUV pulls out to take another spot up the road, in most countries, that would be the end of it. Not in Russia, where this SUV driver took revenge on the little guy with a literal dirty trick.

While we don't condone road rage of any kind, it's hard not to be at least mildly impressed with the creativity employed by the SUV driver in the dashcam video below. After all, he was observant enough to notice that the sedan had its windows open...

yeah, reminds me of road rage of some of our members :-).

I want to know what happened latter on, since Avensis sped up after LC120.

although both of them just needed to "get over it" I find it quite funny to watch and would also be interested to see what else happened.

pretty obvious to me who the bigger a-hole was....driving like that?....

SUV thought for some reason he had the "right" to get in front of the car? I hope the car caught up to him and beat his azz....

What did he accomplish? Got four other cars dirty that were probably already dirty, got his car dirty, and risked crashing head-on into several telephone poles. This is genius?

Too funny, hope the Prado's suspension didn't get damaged. But what he did is just mean!

I get mad at other divers like anyone else, but this takes nads for sure. You never know how people react. Things escalated quickly. A pursuit seemed to follow
