I have had my troubles with road rage and even if the other person was being a dick head i always feel like a dick head myself for over reacting. Now days i just remind myself that i am sitting on my ass traveling around for K's with out taking a step. This reminds me of a story, recently i was cruising around with my mate and this truck starts tailgating him hard. So he changes lanes and the guy boosts off (the guy in the truck could have and should have changed lanes there was no other traffic) anyway my friend got pissed off and was like "i am going to tail gate him now" anyway i talked him out of it... 3 minutes later we see the guy pulled over by a cop car!
I cuss about other's people's driving constantly... but then again I live in IN It's never gotten extreme, for the most part.
I can usually keep my cool, but shitty drivers really push my buttons. Especially old people who drive really slow, or people who just suck at driving, or people who speed all the time and have no concern for anyone else on the road. Unfortunately the girl that drives me to school is a crazy driver. I kind of want to punch her in the face sometimes, for various reasons but that's one of them. I've been known to throw pennies at people I think suck at driving.
Haha... I like it. Pst... if you do punch her in the face, make sure to do it when the vehichal is not in motion.
i think you're about the only person in the great state of california who is. well, and me. the drivers here scare the shit out of me. pulling out into spaces where there isn't much space. barely stopping at stop signs before shooting out into traffic... i'm going to be gray by the time i'm 30 at this rate.
Yeah it was pretty funny because i knew it was going to happen, because the road is notorios for street racing there is always a cop car or two waiting to bust some one... hell they had to lower the speed limit by 20 K's to get people to stop racing.
I used to frequent a pub called road rage, they had a beer label of the same name. In that case I have none. It was pretty good, I miss it. Actual road rage, I'm not too bad on a normal day, though I have my days where I just ram into other cars going 50 over the limit. ...in my mind, of course
Many of the places I drive , u have no choice. Like where the main roads pass by "Chav Central". They're in no rush to get anywhere , cos theyre on the dole. But they've gotta overtake on the inside. Then they'ev got time to get out the car and try and kick off , when u use the horn to warn of a pending crash. People like that have to be put on their back /frightened - I just think its doing society a big favour...
I definitely struggle with road rage. It's not something that I'm proud of! I always drive the speed limit, I obey all the traffic laws, I'm a very non aggressive driver (if anything, my husband says I need to be more aggressive while driving!) The thing is, it's the other moron drivers that make me get all freaked out with their careless driving! I end up getting stressed, which then turns to me yelling out things like "you stupid moron watch it!" or "go you dumb idiot!" And I think, wow, I sound horrible, I feel so ridiculously tense, and sometimes my kids hear me doing it too and will chirp the same insults to drivers. Not a good example! I'm really trying to just calm down and not let other drivers make me so angry, but it's hard sometimes! I need to make a conscious effort to just go on my merry way and not let other's actions stress me out so much, that's all. It's hard though because I do all of my errands and shopping in a very busy city, where the traffic is simply insane and the careless drivers are crawling everywhere. I try to avoid that area during the times of day when I KNOW it's going to be a madhouse, but sometimes I have to get things done when I can get them done, you know?
I am pretty calm while driving, I just have one mission and thought on my mind, getting to where I am going... But if someone is driving like an asshole or talking on their cell phone and almost hit me, then we have a problem.. Well, no, not really I usually just give them a thumbs up and call them an idiot...I don't use the middle finger because I find giving them a thumbs up for some reason, people are more insulted by this... I had someone follow me once, it was pretty crazy, told me I cut him off and I know I didnt cause I stayed in one lane the whole time, while I was saying that I didn't, I thought to myself, do I really want to argue with someone who followed me just to tell me this, and realized that I didn't feel like getting killed that day so I just said okay guy sorry.. And then he left...
