Ok, no story where people stopped and GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE is going to have a happy ending.

Keeping driving if you can, if they stop in front of you, reverse is a thing. If you are trapped for some reason keep your doors locked and your windows up.

Why does it seem so hard for people to follow these simple rules?

Why do they seem to be compelled to stop their vehicle, get out and yell at the other person who has also stopped and gotten out?

Is there a factory somewhere that stamps out these idiots?

Unless your car is on fire, you should stay in it.

That moose estrogen drives men mad, I tell ya. MAD!

It happened to me once when I lived in a dry county in West Texas.

I was on the way to a liquor store on the county line. I exited the highway onto the access road, and there was a car in front of me going extremely slow.

I tailgated for a minute or so, then finally passed it & quickly moved back into the lane close to front of the car. It was very rude of me.

I stopped at a red light further down, and the car I had passed stopped behind me. I saw the driver’s door open in my mirror, and I thought “oh, crap...’.

This little old lady got out and walked up to my truck; I was expecting at the very minimum to be repremanded for my rude driving.

I rolled down my window, and she spoke in a shaky voice, “excuse me sir, can you tell me how to get to Crossed Keys?” I was very relieved and told her to follow me because that’s where I was going.

I learned some important lessons about courtesy while driving from that encounter.
