A Florida woman in Putnam County who was going to an OB appointment was unexpectedly dragged into a road rage incident when a man began yelling at her. The woman said that she was 35 weeks pregnant and had a high-risk pregnancy, and she certainly didn’t need the stress caused by an angry man yelling at her to get off her phone and drive.
The video was posted on the woman’s side TikTok account under the username not_mymain_account. It got over three million views, with many viewers siding with the woman.
The woman said that she was recording and holding her phone because the man was acting overly aggressive. Allegedly, the man followed the woman all the way to her OB’s office, which was relatively close, as it was only a road away from where the video ended. When she arrived, she immediately called 911.
Thankfully, things didn’t escalate beyond that because the man backed away when he heard that the woman was talking with the police. The woman said that it was very ironic that the man was trying to tell her to focus on driving when he himself also had a phone in his hand and wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
Florida Woman’s Road Rage Encounter Raises Safety Concerns
The comment section was mostly supportive of the Florida woman, with many users criticizing the man for his actions. “This world is a dangerous place,” one user wrote. Others also remarked that road rage should be made a felony because of how dangerous such behavior could be.
However, there were also those who demanded more context, claiming that the woman could be in the wrong here. Yet others defended the woman, pointing out that regardless of what happened before, the man was acting very recklessly and could injure someone because of his road rage. Seeing how the man was more focused on yelling at and looking at the woman instead of paying attention to the road, it was easy to imagine him accidentally crashing or even hitting someone because of his distracted driving.
The incident also started some discussion about how pregnant women are more likely to die from homicide. Some commenters told the Florida woman to be more careful while she was pregnant and to watch out for other angry men like the one she had just encountered.
“This happened to me several times when I was pregnant, specifically on my way to doctor appointments… Why do men do this? It was always a man,” one commenter wrote.
Regardless of whether others were driving poorly, it was always better for people on the road to remain calm and not let their anger take control of them. It’s especially embarrassing if you end up targeting a pregnant woman on her way to the doctor.
