ROAD RAGE!

[geonagual]

Driving on So. Cal freeways can be quite a challenge sometimes..

Smetimes I catch myself yelling at other drivers..of course I am inside my car and they cant hear me anyway..sometimes people just do some of the dumbest things while driving.

Ever catch yourself doing this?

[Weedhound]

it's quite simple geo.....everyone on the road but me sucks. :wtf:

[ncnavguy]

Yes, for Thanksgiving I drove from FL to NC and back. An older feller towing a horse trailer was dead beside me and changed into my lane, I honked my horn but he kept changing, he would have either hit me or run me off the road, but I slammed on the gas and got ahead of him, I then promptly threw him a middle finger much to the chagrin of my lady.

[Cannabis-Sativa]

ya i yell at people sometimes, but of course like you said they can't hear me, so sometines the good middle finger is necessary.

[Old Stoner]

I drive for a living now. Man, you should see some of the crazy crap that is pulled - DAILY !

It would be easy to get road rage and shoot someone in my line of work, LOL...

But isn't that illegal?

Hehehehehe....

[Weedhound]

Daily? You meah HOURLY!! Every 10 minutes....!!! And cell phones have made it MUCH worse.

That is a fact...cause I am the worlds greatest driver..I know because i prove it to myself everyday:D

Edit: Cell phones seem to be the main culprit

[delusionsofNORMALity]

it's always best to vent. once behind the wheel, "bitch" is my favorite term. everyone i meet on the road is a bitch regardless of gender, age or social status. whether we're waiting impatiently at a red light or screaming down the highway at 110, they are all nothing but bitches and i'm just an asshole.

[Weedhound]

That could very well be DoN....but asshole comes before bitch (which comes before motherf**ker) so they should STILL let you by....:D

[beachguy in thongs]

Ever catch myself? What good is driving if you can't point out what every other driver is doing wrong to anyone who cares to listen?

What if you two were on the road together?

I ride those same freeways that you do and I do it on a motorcycle.
Do you know what it is like to have a bullseye on your body when you are traveling in Los Angeles? I do and have have been taken out by that idiot in the car/cage who does not see anything but the cel phone or the IPOD when they are supposed to be looking at the road.
Do I suffer from road rage? Yes but, I have an immediate relief by twisting my throttle and going faster than the idiot in the cage ever dreamed of going and feeling the sensation of speed makes me relax as it fills me with adreneline.
I hope you can understand that and if you rode a motorcycle on the roads here in L.A. you would understand.

[sd6515]

I loose it when you are merging onto a freeway and there are multiple lanes to left open but no one ever moves over. Or when you go to merge in and the idiot gos in front of you to get in instead of sliding in behind you allowing you to slide in in there place, where I live there is the highest concentration of Bosnian immigrants in the US and being that many are recent immigrants they can not drive for there lives and when half the road is covered by uninsured idiot drivers it sure makes for an interesting and rage filled commute.

But by far my peeve is people that aren't paying attention enough or smart enough to understand the concept of on/off ramp merging etiquette. lol :jointsmile:

[Hilder420]

LOL you have to deal with uninsured Bosnians, I have to deal with uninsured Mexicans in big trucks with a passel of children, on the phone, cant even see over the steering wheel or super slow mini vans from the 80's..
The thing that pisses me off the most is when people get on the freeway going 25 mph.. scares the shit out of me.

[LIP]

All the time with my window down. Give a V sign every now and again too. I swear there a bunch of drunks - i dont know how they passed fucking tests damnit.

[Nightcrewman]

Yes, all the time I find it is actually quite a good way to relieve stress whilst driving.

Some people are only alive because its illegal to kill them

<gasp> I didn't know that you are Kimi Räikkönen!!!

[Mississippi Steve]

My pet peeves are cell phones(mine is hands free), texting, people obstructing the flow of traffic(20mph slower than the posted limit), and morons that haven't figured out about the "international law of gross tonnage".

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of my way!!!

[Weedhound]

i agree with Steve .....the biggest problem with crappy drivers is the ones that THINK they are good drivers and therefor don't have the decency to let you by but are so bad that they are WAY too terrifed to drive anything up close to the actual speed limit because the car might go out of control on them or something. If you can't handle a car then for chrissakes take the bus or something.

And the others.....busy with the makeup, IPOD whatever....thanks for risking my life as well as yours.....believe me I WILL remember that later.

[happiestmferoutthere]

I yell, I flip off, I honk, I refuse to let people cut in (wait your turn, like everyone else did!) My husband says it will get me in big trouble some day, but I can't help myself.
Its a sickness.:jointsmile:

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

some people used to call me the road raging canadian

geo you haven't drove with me yet, that is probably a good thing :jointsmile:

[Nation_1ne]

What a great game that was.

[Gundari]

I don't do it as much as I used to but man I used to scream at people and such all the time. Fingers flyin everywhere horn blaring all the time. Now I just turn the music up louder, call them a dumb *insert favored explitative here* and move on.

[psychocat]

I have been riding bikes for over 30 years and every year I swear that there are more retarded drivers than there were in the year just gone. I tend to rely on the internationaly recognised hand signals such as rapid up and down movement of the left hand whilst curling the fingers as if holding a penis, then pointing at offending motorist. Which everyone knows translates as:
You're a fuckin' tosser / wanker !

[mattisnotonfire]

I am a fairly average driver but I normally stick to the speed limit and don't drive like a wanker. (don't intentionally anyway!)

I do tend to get pissed off in traffic queues or people being complete fucking idiots. I don't usually let people cut in, if they got in the right lane to begin with - they wouldn't be in that mess :thumbsup:

The thing that pisses me off is lane hoggers on motorways and people that 'rubber neck' when there is an accident or somebody has been pulled over! :mad:
