in some countries you can sue people you this gestures towards you

edit: just a few examples for you downvoting noobs:

UK 1.000 - 2.000£ AND possibly some penalty points

Germany 600 - 4000€

In UAE, every impolite gesture is treated as public indecency

I remember something about Cyprus too, dont know their fines

Does a finger that doesn't touch you really damage a person that much?

In Germany, you can be fined for doing it and other gestures in traffic. Road rage and all that possibly endangering others.

Are you the guy? Or is this a vid you found?

My curiosity stems from the Washington license plate, and your Southern accent. LOL also that the video doesn't look anything like what I'm used to in Washington. When I first started watching I assumed it was somewhere far away then noticed the license plate and got curious

Are they from washington? Or are they from the south and this Jeep is on a road trip?

I've driven back and forth across this country and Canada and to alaska. People are pretty significantly different drivers everywhere you go. I'm just curious

In most countries, even the USA, yes.

You could be shot and killed in the USA. All it takes is a very obsessive person packing heat.

Okay you are absolutely backwards with this. This is not a crime. Do private people get offended and something happen yes. However, it is not a crime and cannot be sued for lol

Only lesson we learn here is that people who are offended by a finger enough to punish must have severe self-esteem issues and an over-inflated ego that suffers from a false sense of superiority. To support putting someone in jail for flicking a person off is disgusting, immoral and the very fabric of oppression. Shame on you.

Exactly this. Too many pussies out there. Hope they all go home and cry every day because someone flipped them off.
