How much road rage do you got?

I have driven with so many people that are chilled people..then they get behind the wheel and seem to have been taken over with hatred..honking, flippin' off, spitting on cars..speeding, following to close, flashing lights..like they have lost thier gourd. haha
As for me, I drive carefully and never have interactions with other drivers, just get where I need to go..my passenger Mary Jane probably helps out a little with the calmness.

 

I don't have alot of road rage at all but I am saying things about other drivers outloud alot. I don't normally get pissed but its more like " oh come on, what makes you feel you have the right."

my dad just calls them all crackheads. someone pullsin front of him. "crackhead"
someone follows too close "crackhead"
someone is singing loudly in their car "crackhead"
and on and on

My daughter wants to know why I am always talking to the other drivers.

 

if you ever see a guy driving a pickup truck with a beet-red face screaming obscenities at every other vehicle on the road, that's me.

 

i shake a mini bat at drivers who are morons. most people driving should not be, and they should be locked up for their own safety

 

Not a whole lot. I swear and cuss though when someone pisses me off or I see someone do something very dangerous and/or stupid. But that's it.

 

I cuss at everyone and I give several people the finger.

 

I'm a mellow driver for the most part.

 

I've been to New York. Driven up and down the city. But I do not drive like a New Yorker, oh man. They lay on the horn if the light doesn't change fast enough. I'm not kidding.

 

I drive agressively, but I am not impolite, I've never flipped anyone off, and only cut people off who do.

and I always signal.

 

I've been known to get pretty pissed off when people drive stupid. I am a very careful driver. I hate it when people cut me off or ride my ass (especially without pulling my hair)

 

If anybody does anything to piss me off I will do what I can to annoy them, for example I will show no regard for safety when someone speeds up to stop me changing lanes. I give the finger and beep at people, but I rarely get angry.

 

technically i'm the same. but with the amount of traffic on the roads here, someone is always doing something dangerous, stupid and/or rude.

also, as i've mentioned before, there are no traffic laws here unless you're black, which also instigates some truly horrid driving from all other races (and also blacks, who are desperately trying to maintain the speed limit while surrounded by people going on average 15 mph over)

 

I'm mellow, very mellow

 

I'm a reforming road rager.

There seems to be an impulsive side of me that I have difficulty holding in check when I'm behind the wheel but I'm working on it. My key is to avoid putting myself in a position to be inconvenienced by another driver's indecision. I can manage my own pace to limit how close I am to the driver in front of me... and minimize the number of people head of me when I hit one particular intersection (called five corners) en route to work but there ain't jack-shit I can do about people who insist on tailgating.

Some situations call for taking a deep breath and reminding myself that any gestures or other demonstrations of anger I make make toward the asshole who thinks I ought to be speeding or tailgating the car in front of me can only escalate a minor matter into something I will only grow to regret causing. I've said that people show their true colors when behind the wheel and that goes for me as well.

 

I rarely have any roadrage. I do get pretty peeved at elderly drivers though. Especially around my college.

I was driving in a 60km zone with no traffic once and this elderly guy (techincally he was in a granny scooter thing, I was in my car) just scoots straight across the road onto an Island and then right in front of me and just kept going. I must have been about 4-5 meters off hitting the stupid basterd.

I don't think I've screamed or cursed that much at an old person in my life. He never acnowledged it though, like he was deaf or something and kept going onto the footpath.

 

Oh slow drivers piss me off. Like the ones that 10 miles under the speed limit in the daytime or dry roads...arrrggg

 

I do not have road rage anymore.

Driving in Central America solved that.

The fact is there are many drivers that have machine guns because they are drug runners or other criminals. They would not think twice about spraying someone with bullets.

And as about 90% of murders go unsolved there, it is not a good idea to piss someone off.

 

It's why I don't live in the city, I couldn't do it and not kill...

 

usually i'm pretty good about not getting angry. my driving style has relaxed since i started and i don't ever drive in a rush, so i don't care about what other drivers do as long as they don't put anyone's life in danger.

i do the occasional "what the fuck" when someone does something questionable, but aside from that, i don't do anything but rock out!

except this one time, when a semi was illegally on a road (the road is highly residential, has a couple blind drives, and isn't built to heavy truck traffic) going 20mph so i laid the horn down and kept bitching like that.

 

when someone in front of me leaves his blinker on, i drive up in front of him and leave mine on. it never fails...
