I'm quite sure that's China, not Japan.

Either way, it's just ruthless road rage. They both were in the wrong, quite honestly. IS350 cut him off a little close, other guy honked, anger in both parties pursue, other guy obviously speeds off well above the speed limit (and ends up getting on someone's butt), ect.

I don't really get angry when someone cuts me off (unless they almost merge INTO my car). It's when people get up on my rear end... that's a one way ticket to pissing me off.

That's in Japan. Japanese cars are right hand drive whereas Chinese cars are left hand drive. The date on the video is most likely wrong because I saw a Toyota Prius V in the video which is fairly a new model.

That was probably me, cuz I hate it when drivers honk at me when there's no reason. YES, the 2IS did leave little room...but he used his turn signal AND merged quite slowly into the lane. If the camera car had a problem with him merging he should have honked before the merge was completed...or like most everyone in SC does, he should have sped up to close the door. That's like an everyday occurrence here in SC. But all that BS afterwards was just beyond stupid though.

Hahaha that is funny, maybe the IS driver was a member of the Yakuza and wanted the guy to pull over so they could have a nice friendly talk.

Anyone who pulls stunts like that because someone honks at them, is an idiot.

What made you think it was China?

As funny as it may sound it is most likely the reason why camera car was hesitant and obviously in fear.



Two questions:

1. Can anyone who speaks Japanese translate what the camera car passengers were discussing?

2. What mini-van is that on 1:27-1:28 seconds, looked real sleek.

I think the driver had every right to honk.

The cam car and the car in front were both going much faster than the IS with probably enough room for 1.5 cars in between and the IS just cuts in at a much slower speed

The cam car driver was obviously trying hard to brake and didn't honk until he felt safe to do so which was after the IS was in the lane

Yet the IS still acts like a freaken childish brat tapping on his brakes and s***

Then IS driver pretends to exit and then tries to cut back in again? Causing more danger for EVERYONE

The cam car driver was pretty calm this whole time trying to keep away from the IS, speeding up to lose it and later slowing down to keep behind

Then IS pulls up again and tries to do the exact same thing that started it all, wtf?

The IS disappears....this bulls***should be done, but no

The cam car driver meets the IS again, and yet again the IS does more stupid f***ing s***

This jerkface does not deserve the car, go back to driving a BMW
