>give glowering looks and make them feel guilty

Brother this does not work. They don’t give a shit. They can kill you while watching tiktok on their phones and they won’t even be charged with manslaughter. And they know that.

so what’s the solution besides carrying or fighting, both of which are risky at best? i feel like re-education wouldn’t work with most of these drivers and reasoning with people who can’t understand counterfactuals is pointless. and obviously the cops won’t do anything to enforce traffic rules, they’re car drivers as well.

I'd be less worried about someone coming to fight me, and more worried about a bullet coming my way. Many of these aggressive, no fucks given, drivers are also armed, usually illegally. Unless you're faster than bullets.

Last I checked, DC had a little under 10k active concealed carry permits as of this year. Really not that many in a city of 700,000. Virginia has something like 638k or 7.4% of the states population.

Aren’t all guns banned in dc? Wouldn’t any type of carrying be illegal in the city? I could be wrong I don’t actually know

If you meet the legal requirements for concealed carry, which most citizens do, DC is required to issue a concealed carry permit. It'll cost you $300-$400 and take 1-3 months but you'll get it

Throwing a rock at one car isn’t going to educate the next 100 Evel Knievals coming next. Risk/benefit seems a little off.

Ceramic is better than rocks. Smash a spark plug and save all the little pieces. They shatter glass just by touching it.
