The road is an extremely frustrating place. In addition to terrible pavement, uncoordinated stop lights, and restricting speed limits, stupid drivers are sure to be abundant on every trip you take. Whether it's a six-hour drive back to college or a two-minute quickie to the post office, idiots always find a way to make your experience less efficient and more irritating. When you run across these type of people, the situation can go a few ways: You, like we do, can curse at the driver and flip him the finger within the comfort of your vehicle, you can wreak havoc by using your car as a weapon, or you can get out of the car and personally confront the one messing up your day. This list is about those last two. 

Road rage is real, it's daily, and it's either utterly hilarious or kind of scary. We've collected 50 of the best the Internet has to offer and the videos are chock full of fistfights, profanity, baseball-bat wielding nutjobs, and bumper-kicking mad men. And for some reason, many are set in Russia. See for yourself and click through The 50 Craziest Road Rage Videos.

This guy was clearly looking to start a confrontation at the earliest opportunity, so we can't call bitch-assness on the cameraman for not getting out to face him. But we at least hope he got that plate number so as to collect that damage money later.

Allegedly the couple in the silver car cut the guy in the red pick-up off, but he wins the scumbag award for angrily ramming them with his young daughter in the car with him – and then tops it by brandishing her almost like a shield when the guy confronts him. You took it too far son.

Apparently this guy snapped and decided to treat a Melbourne street like a monster truck rally, and repeatedly crash into every vehicle in sight before the cops finally subdued him. It's pretty dumb, but at least no one was hurt.

A light fender bender quickly escalates then dissipates in a matter of minutes as the drivers all but skip over the exchange of heated words portion and go straight to duking it out in the middle of the highway and then automatically get back in their cars and continue driving. Just the Russian way of handling these things apparently.

We're not sure what incited this fracas but the words exchanged must've been serious to make the owner of the Benz go off on the other driver like that. We don't ever get to see said driver (and he must've been a sight after withstanding all of those kicks) but a bat-wielding third party randomly comes to his defense, giving the Benz driver three strikes and engaging in some bat practice on his windshield.

From the looks of it the Sedan driver is the wronged party, apparently rear-ended by the truck. If that's the case then we sure hope that he's the guy who wins the fight, even though the winner fits the build for a truck driver, because there's nothing worse than getting your ass beat (in public) when you were in the right.

If a guy is crazy enough to nudge you forward a few feet with his car just to make a statement, it's probably not a good idea to kick his car in retaliation. The only thing that saves this clown from getting jumped by the driver and his equally nuts passengers is that they appear to notice that the whole thing is being filmed from across the street. Note to all candid cameramen out there: stay stealthy.

16. Driver loses his temper and attacks cyclist

The not so peaceful co-existence on the road between driver and cyclist is long and storied, and here a man acts on his fury based off of whatever slight he thinks the cyclist caused and strikes him in front of an audience before peeling off. Sounds like they offered the cyclist his license plate number, we hope he's got a good lawyer.

15. Crazy Woman Road Rage

In most road rage incidents people that threaten or attempt violence usually hop out with a tire iron, maybe a baseball bat. This woman had neither of those, so instead she resourcefully uses her fellow passenger's crutches to try and beat the brakes off of an offending car in front of them during a traffic jam crawl.

Here's another third party view of the action that gives the whole thing a farcical feel but the violence is all too real. We're not quite sure why two guys in the next lane have beef with a guy one lane over and one car behind them, but they proceed to kick the shit out of his car until he's scared enough to completely abandon it and exit stage-right. Props to the people willing to beep at the guys that they just witnessed doing this when the light changes.

Who says an angry exchange of words or violence is the only way to express your road rage? There's another physical way to relieve the road rage and take the other driver's honor: hump the car. This man is an innovator.

We don't wanna make assumptions about anyone's craft, but we're pretty sure that carjackers don't plan heists by blatantly tailgating their marks on the road. Nevertheless, this foreigner appears to have just learned the word because he accuses the cameraman of being one about 11 times in the span of two minutes. Lucky for him the cameraman was chill, as we've seen on other videos on this list another driver might not have been so civil.

Call up the homies, it's about to go down. It appears that an older guy (accidentally?) rear-ended the guy in front of him, who proceeded to terrorize the guy outside of his car when they pulled over to the shoulder. The old man in the van hangs tight though and soon enough two cars worth of his goons show up to teach the attacker and his passenger a lesson in respecting elders.

This is one of the most creative ways to get back at somebody on the road that we've seen. The driver didn't even have to get out of his car! After some jackass refused to merge properly, the guy in the SUV angrily speeds ahead of the pack. It seems like he's going to drive on and we'd never see him again, but that assumption couldn't be more wrong. He slows down, waits for the car to drive next to him and splashes through some massive puddles, drenching the car with the open window. The SUV drove through some pretty huge hidden potholes, so it's possible his rims and/or suspension got screwed up, but he definitely got the car good. Worth it?

No laughs here, just straight-up road-rage fueled homicidal recklessness. At the 1:05 mark, the red pickup truck blatantly tries to sideswipe a motorcycle that passes him. The action lulls for another five minutes until the cyclist and his friend (recording the ordeal) confront the bike-hating driver at a stop sign and call the cops. Scary stuff.

8. Hilarious Road Rage Fight - Russia

The farcical show tunes that the uploader chose to score this road fight are what really make this golden, but there's a lot of comedy here that helps the video live up to its title. The setup: a (disgustingly dusty) station wagon cuts off a biker at a turn, the biker angrily shoves the car, prompting the driver to get out on his tough guy swag -- only to promptly get the fade with one-hitter-quitter. It looks like the cyclist had a chance at making short work of the passenger, too, until reinforcements arrive stage left out of thin air. Was this a planned jump on this particular guy, or do all middle-aged Russians share the same passionate hate for motorcyclists? The sight of the driver writhing on the ground and the cyclist doing his best Bruce Lee dance at the :58 second mark is the highlight.

Now this is road justice at its finest. After many verbal taunts, more than one loogie, and a promise to "get a cap in his ass," the harassed driver finally gives his pest what he wants and sends him staggering to the other side of the road with one punch. The cherry on top: a cop rushes over immediately after, and having seen it all, let's dude get away with the assault. We're just amazed he was able to endure for 90 seconds before finally going off.

This is utterly hilarious, with incidental action/filming that almost suggests a staged choreography. Will bikes and cars ever peacefully co-exist? Not sure what made the biker set things off by kicking the car, but the woman behind the wheel of the Fiat is having none of it. They disappear for a second, and when we see them next, he's on the hood like Batman. They veer to the left shoulder of the road, and we see it all to the wonderful score of Jim Jones & Ron Browz's "Pop Champagne."

We don't get to see the inciting incident, but apparently the white guy brought a tire iron to a fistfight and got more than he bargained for. Beat up on the hood of your own car, and with your weapon confiscated by your bare-handed opponent? Doesn't matter who started it, this is pure fail.

The man who is doing the yelling is a Marine sergeant from Camp Pendleton, as well as a recipient of the Purple Heart. According to 10 News, the Marine was repeatedly brake-checking the two people in the truck, one of which is a wounded Marine, the other her brother and caretaker. After the third brake check, the truck rear-ended the car, throwing this man into a terrorizing string of violent threats and curse words. The information that 10News has is reportedly from a friend of the two in the truck, but tens of comments on a variety of sites are explaining varying circumstances from the accident. For now, all we know for sure is what we see in the video.

Most of these videos are entertaining in their own right, but this highway beating recorded just over a month ago is all too real. What started out as two dudes rumbling turned into a vicious two-on-attack, leaving one guy on his back and barely conscious. Los Angeles residents David Mendez , 21, and Edras Ramirez, 27, were arrested for assault and remain in custody while the victim has been identified as Jerry Patterson, who says he unintentionally cut the other men off. He suffered a concussion and says he remembers very little from the fight.

Now this is karmic comedy gold. A couple of jealous self-described hicks taunt a "pretty city slicker" that's minding his business in his drop BMW with his chick. They think they're gonna tune the rich boy up when he mistakenly drives down a dead end. But, twist! "Johnny BMW" led the Clampetts right into a trap, where they get out with a bat only to see he was riding around with that Nina. A hilarious table-turn ensues when the hicks' tough talk quickly dies down and it's all stutters and "Hey man, chill out" while Johnny BMW victoriously rides off with a proud chick, their keys and - second twist! - the camera. Turns out he uploaded the video. City Slicker – 1 Hicks - -2.
