| No, I'm ok I think. I almost never honk at people, but i do swear at them and call them bad names from within the safety of my car. |

IMO, we should be allowed to flick lights at slow s in the fast lane. I'd rather flick my lights at someone than tailing them. Nothing more annoying than having to weave to the rightmost lane to pass people. Left lane == 130-135km/hr, slower.... off (400 level highways).
Another thing that drives me up the wall is when the traffic is at a stand still, and pple will switch lanes constantly every time they have a chance...the traffic wont unclog in the next lane...ur just making it worse. Because I drive standard, i rather drive very slowly and leave some space in front of me instead of gearing, stop, gearin, stop, gearin, stop.... at least im driving somewhat steady... |

Yes it will.
Or rather, it might. It depends on the traffic patterns. If a slow driver causes you to miss a light, particularly during busy periods, it can easily cost you 5 minutes.
Aggressive and dangerous aren't the same thing though. I've seen dangerous too - pointless tailgating, inside passes in the middle of an intersection, that sort of thing. That's just stupid. |

I used to drive very little like 2-3 times per week because i never had my own car.. now that i drive every day .. i did get a little mad and had one incident were the RAGE came out :(
this happend because some dude cut me off when the speed limit on the left lane was 60,, i was doing about 65-70 and he came from the right lane doing 80 easily and came inches away from my car. To my amazement he hops right back into traffic in the middle lane and so i slow down and almost come to a complete halt with my hand on the horn the entire time (about 10 secs) obviously given him the finger ...
i have never got a ticket and obey the speed limit .. i just got to realize it ain't worth it to get frustrated with some maniacs.. i keep to the slow lane and burn a J .. makes me calm and relaxed.
...oh and if ppl on the highways kept a speed of 90 or 55mph it would save on gas. |

you theory only works on a highway or in the early morning/night time where a slow driver would definitely cost you time
during the day in traffic even if you go through a yellow chances are you will hit a red light at the next intersection 90% of the time because of other drivers up the street. Might as well go with the flow, it's the same . |

1 day ago
MILTON, Ont. — The family of a man killed in an alleged road rage incident made a tearful plea Wednesday for aggressive drivers to stop acting irrationally behind the wheel.
Tony Greco, a 55-year-old married father of three from Milton, Ont., was killed instantly when he was ejected from his SUV just after 5 a.m. Tuesday on a stretch of Canada's busiest highway.
Wayne Winsor, 39, also of Milton, is alleged to have slammed on the brakes after pulling in front of Greco on Highway 401, causing him to lose control of his vehicle and crash just west of Toronto.
Greco's family, grief stricken as they arrived in court for Winsor's bail hearing, were further anguished when he was released.
Greco's sister-in-law, Gina Mancini, said the family "wants this rage stopped."
"Please, it has to stop. We have children on the roads everyday, there is absolutely no need for this," she said through tears.
"If justice is (done) the law will do the right thing for Tony Greco."
The family has had to deal with five deaths in the past 13 months and can't believe they've lost Tony in such a senseless way, said brother-in-law Gerry Mancini.
"The worst part of this all taking place is it could have been avoided," he said.
Inside the court, Winsor looked sullen and slouched in his seat as he was granted bail.
A publication ban prevents the media from reporting on any evidence in the case.
Winsor left the courthouse through a side door.
Although the Crown called it a tragic case with high stakes they agreed to grant Winsor bail, noting he didn't have a criminal record.
But Crown attorney Brian O'Mara emphasized that Winsor faces serious charges; criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing death.
"The charges laid are among the most serious offences you can commit while driving a motor vehicle," O'Mara said outside court.
"These are driving offences that involve a fatality so obviously the stakes are very high in terms of sentence."
Someone convicted of criminal negligence causing death faces a possible life sentence.
Under his bail conditions, Winsor must live with his mother and he cannot drive or even sit in the driver's seat of a car.
Winsor, who turned himself in to police several hours after the incident, is scheduled to appear in court July 30.
Police were still canvassing for witnesses early Wednesday at the scene of the crash and said they collected more evidence from drivers who saw the incident.

| I used to have some serious road rage, but then I realized its not worth it. So instead I drive weaving in and out of traffic. Cops should seriously start giving out tickets to people who go speed limit or under it in the passing lane. |

| He was ejected from his SUV? Shouldn't he have been wearing his seatbelt? |
