1. One time getting on the highway some BMW cut me off right before we were turning on to the on ramp. So we raced and I got him blocked him in for about 30 seconds in the right lane with a car in front of him.
2. On a two highway some bitch had to do that weave out of lane BS so for whatever it took I was in front of her and if a car was in the right lane I would slow down so she could not pass. I did this for about 30 miles.
I typcial drive fast to avoid everyone(65mph-100mph)Depends on how I feel. Right lane, left lane, middle lane don't matter. Only if I see a cop then I will slow down. If you can keep up with me then I don't care if you pass me or not. I don't tailgate, I just wait for them to give me room to pass unless they give me a reason to tailgate by maintaining the same speed to annoy me.
never got out of the car yet or someone on me:nervous: |

At that point, I did what I always do when people are obviously angry at me on the road. I put on my silliest smile and gave him a very emphatic wave to show that I was extremely pleased with how angry I'd made him. This caused him to put his car into park and motion to open the door. However, with the lights changing he thought the better of it and drove off.
Does anyone else feel that road rage perpetrators are often incensed because they've driven like an arsehole and forced you to wrong them? That's usually my experience, but then again if I see someone tailgating me or otherwise driving in an intimidating way, I'll usually go out of my way to drive slowly in front of them, cut them off and generally prevent them from doing what they want. If I lived in America I'd probably be too scared of getting shot to bother with this. |

I'm the same, actually. I can't understand why the hell some people get so riled up when they're behind a wheel but, is it entertaining to watch them go nuts for the stupidest of all reasons! There are some things I could never really understand, though, and here are my top 3:
- The Schumacher effect: Some people just can't let others pass in front of them. It's as if they were in a race and their life depends on their victory. If you show any sign that you're going to overtake them, they speed up. Nothing - absolutely nothing - can be faster than they are.
- Claustrophobic driving: It's analogous to the Schumacher effect. Sometimes, you like it or not, some people will be in front of you, specially during traffic jams. But, the claustrophobic driver cannot be stuck in traffic. The spice must flow! Even if you're in the right lane, the person behind you will probably use both light and sound to express in Morse Code the idea that you should get out of their way, even if you're just as stuck as they are.
- I like to move it: This is really a special kind of claustrophobic driving, but less intense. As soon as the traffic light turns green, these people are already honking their horns because you're not moving. In their minds, I believe, the movement of the cars in front of them is activated by the sound of their horns, rather than by the colour of the traffic light. They must honk even if the traffic light's been green for just a split second.

I get angry, but I don't usually react. Unless someone cuts me off and goes incredibly slowly for no reason, I'll give them the "angry tailgate" for a while.
My favorite thing to do is to come up behind someone who has had their turn signal on for miles. I like to get in front of them and turn my signal on. I get subtle satisfaction out of knowing that they think I'm an idiot, and then hit that moment of realization that I'm making fun of them because theirs is on. |

I therefore had three options: crash into the roadworks barrier, slam on my brakes or speed up and cut in front of him. Of course, I chose to cut in front, seeing as my nose was already in front and I had indicated correctly. Besides, the law specifies that in these situations 'the zipper effect' should be used, making my action justified.

Actually, the correct way to merge into another lane is to slow down and move in behind the other vehicle. The other vehicle is to maintain the speed they are going.
The other driver had every right to be upset at you...you should have your licence taken away since you obviously don't know how to drive. |

I had a random guy come to my window and smack my face once. I didn't even know what I had done to provoke it! Douche.
I don't even react to idiotic behaviour on the road. This one guy tried to turn across my lane into his driveway once, causing me to slam on the brakes, and I guess the sound of the screeching tyres alerted him to the fact that I was there. We had about 5 seconds where I just stared at him in bewilderment and he gave me this sheepish look before he went into his driveway and I started moving again.
My ex used to yell and scream every time she went into a roundabout and someone left it without indicating. I found it really funny that she had no patience. |
