Im venting here!

Today i was waiting out in the centre of the road, between the different directions of traffic. I was indicating, and waiting for my space. Then, as i pull out, this vehicle, who also edged out into the center of traffic decides to overtake me. This caused me to almost hit her car. I HATE IMPATIENT FUCKS. Learn the fucking roadrules. Rightly, i should have merged into traffic first, as i was the first car.
This bitch has the audacity to sound her horn at me, and give me the finger. My head almost exploded at the injustice! So instead of following her car all the way home, kicking her door down and eating her firstborn son- i decided to get on the internet and tell you guys. Any thoughts?

Should have eaten her baby.

Tis the day before Christmas Eve and everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere. And they expect you to get out of their way so they can get there faster.
I believe that it we could help to solve the problem if it were mandatory for all driver's to take a refresher course every 4 years. Maybe then they might remember the rules of the road.

When people try to fuck me over on the road I hold my horn down for five minutes while I'm behind them. Probably not the smartest thing to do but embarrasses the fuck out of them.

It was probably best that you decided to just vent here...personally, I would have had to use all my self control to not follow her ass home and give her the scare of her life.

Be glad your not married to her.

Sometimes I think it would be really neat to have a sawed-off to shoot out their tires with. Then, drive to a secluded area and then rip off the "paint" on your car to reveal a different color underneath (a la the movie Jackal). Oh and have a button that instantly changes your plates (a la James Bond).

Smile and wave. Pisses 'em off even more. You want courtesy, give it.

That's exactly what I do. Nothing pisses road-raged folks off more than courtesy. I was driving home yesterday and this jerk wouldn't let me merge, so I ended up having to speed up and go on the shoulder to pass him on the right. He didn't appreciate it, so he drove his car parallel to mine and tried to scream stuff at me, but I gave him no attention. Probably made him more mad. I hate discourteous drivers. For instance I don't mind getting cut off - it's just the way people drive here - but at least have the courtesy to signal. Surprisingly I have no road rage at all.

I love the people that say.."I would have rammed her car!!!.

Would you have really? In the only car that you have to get to work in? In the brand new vehicle that you just bragged about "screwing the dealer over", or the POS that you drive cause you can't afford anything else? I mean really...would you really screw your car up to "teach that asshole a lesson"? Do you think that they would actually learn from this? I don't think so!

That's the reason that this guy got cut off. The woman (asshat) knew that this guy wouldn't hit her, and took the chance. I'm married to someone who used to drive just like that. She stopped when I started bringing a couple of beers with us whenever she drove. She would not listen otherwise, but when the legal rammifications tilted away from her (she's a CPA and thinks like one) she started to calm down when driving...at least in town. I didn't have to open the beers but she knew that they were in the car and if an officer looked in the car it was going to skew the prejudice against her. On the highway she still drives like Jackie Stewart...smooth and fast...Janesville to Wausau wisconsin in 90 minutes!! the last time we went up north.

My advice is to carry a couple of Cd's that you enjoy in the car and allow a little extra time to get where you're going! Travel times aren't going to get any shorter anywhere anymore (unless it's in North Dakota or Wyoming).

Peace...Norm

As a courier driver, I deal with this sort of thing all day, every day. I am considering buying a piece of crap car and, on my days off becoming a professional victim.

Heh, you think people drive bad in the US/Canada?
Try moving to China, where a little bit of cash can get you your licsence, horns are used to notify everyone around you your a car, theres no such thing as low beams, traffic lights are invisible, theres no side of the road to drive on, and as long as theres no trees, the sidewalk counts as road as well.
I'm just thankful the average person can't drive or it would be pure chaos in this country for roads.
you ever see pictures of street markets? where theres about 5-6 feet of space between stalls? they drive down those, horns blaring the whole time.

Excellent response!

Seriously though, let it ride. By getting all bent out of shape about it, and getting angry, especially on the road, you are lowering yourself to her level. If you go into a spout of road rage, you are no better than the person that cut you off.

I always thought a paintball gun would come in handy in a roadrage situation.

Wait till after the festive season and then eat her and her baby.

Its great that you decided to vent here instead of doing something very wrong.

Violent thoughts and cars should never be in the same thought.

A car driven by a person with roadrage is a weapon. Weapons are tools used to kill.

Cars don't kill people - people kill people.

If you can't control your emotions. Maybe take a bus. People make mistakes, sometimes while driving. It happens. Learn to deal with it.

Nothing pisses people off more than a smile and a wave. It's like saying, "I know you're trying to piss me off and want to kill me, but I'm perfectly fine and I couldn't care less."

It is so irritating. Most of hte time I try not to let anyone else frazzle me for stupid stuff on the road.

I actually saw a 60 something year old woman the other day driving so much better than many of the people on the road at the time were.
It was Tuesday, last day before holidays for many people. At the time the factories and schools let out. I happened to end up following her almost from my place all the way to the edge of town - about 8 miles or so. She wasn't going slower than traffic or below the speed limit as you find many of the older hunched up older people. She was paying attention to what she was doing. Especially when some guy cut her off after speeding past - I was going a couple more than the speed limit and I was following her. He had to have been going at least 10 more at the rate he was going. We got up to a stop light and she went into the left turn lane that I was headed for too. She signaled when changing lanes, did not leave the light blinking until she were close to turning. We had to wait for the oncoming traffic to slow and she pulled out a tad to be ready when it did. She went right away when there was an opening and was paying attention to the other cars around. When we finally entered the parking lot that we both were headed to she was watching. There was another idiot who came flying out of one of the isles in front of her but she saw him and reacted but not so much that I was going to end up in her rear bumper.

I wish more people, especially older folk would drive like that woman.

I think I've heard that urban myth before too. It doesn't look like snopes has got around to it though.

Bad Idea.
Remember the old adage: "Dont take a knife to a gun fight"
I am sure this applies to paintball guns too.

I actually got cut in front of once by a guy slaloming through traffic. I was able to work my way in front of him, let him ride my bumper for a mile or so, waited until the congestion got slow, then slammed on my emergency brake (so tail lights wouldnt show), and smack, I got a new rear bumper. He got to go front end shopping. I was driving a full size Bronco, he couldnt see around me. He actually was pretty nice about it after he got out of the car, I never mentioned anything to him, either he learns or not.

See, this is the kind of situation where we need minibars in our glove compartments... a nice sip of scotch to soothe the nerves, or take the edge off...
Well, I know that's not really a good idea. Just being silly. But I remember, not so long ago (early eighties I think) where the rule of thumb for drinking & driving was (for avg. male): 2 drinks in the first hour; 1 drink per hour after that, and you were okay to drive. Under the legal limit, I guess.
But then, cars didn't used to have seatbelts for every seat either...
Sorry, I got a tad off topic.

Actually, I drive an old '77 Chevy pick-up. It has as many dents and dings as it does rust spots. A real P.O.S., but it runs great and is easy as hell to work on.

Point is...I notice that people maintain a healthy and respectable distance from me when I drive that truck, as opposed to...oh...say, my wife's Saturn. I suppose that people realize that I don't really give a rat's ass what the truck really looks like, and will "take the hit".

So, laugh at my old P.O.S. if you will...hell, I do, after all. But, my stress level, during my commute to and from work, has drasticaly been reduced since I started driving it.
