Any of you ever get road rage but then decide to squash the habit? It happens to me sometimes and I wonder what works for you.
Besides picking up a guy to give you head while you drive, of course.
-
I just let it go. My brother is the complete opposite of me and speeds up, tailgates, and acts like an overall jerk. He\'s known as the douchebag of our crew. The way a person drives can really show their personality. :moped:
All I have to say is what goes around comes around. The guy who cut you off will get his sooner or later.

The interstate near my house has two lanes going onto the highway but they merge halfway up the ramp. A lot of people pull asshole moves here just to gain a car length. When someone cuts me off there I just ride their ass for a second just to let them know they\'re a dick.
-
I tend not to get road rage. The only time I\'ll act like an ass when I drive is when someone tries to pass on the right when the other cars on the right are clearly going slower than I am. I speed up so they can\'t cut in front of me.
This is not to say that I\'m one of those people who drive slow in the passing lane. I let people pass me if they want, but I won\'t drive superfast just to get out of their way, and there certainly is no way for me to make the cars in front of me to go faster.
Another thing I really hate is when people yield their right of way for no reason. Yes, if there\'s a big line of cars and I need to get out or merge I appreciate being let in. But 4-way stops - I hate getting waved through or everyone just sitting there waiting for someone else to tell them what to do (women mostly seem to do this I notice). It\'s very easy - if you got there first, you go. If you got there at the same time, the person on the right goes. In all the time it took to read each other\'s frikkin mind we all could have been on our merry frikkin way.

WOW. I can\'t believe someone else on this planet knows the right of way rule for 4-way stops. The way people drive around here, I thought I was the only one. I\'m very impressed.
When someone does that to me, I sometimes clasp my hands behind my head to indicate that I\'m not going anywhere until they go first.

Here in Australia, when the kangaroos start getting aggressive, we just bump them of the road. That and black fellas.
-
I usually don\'t get road rage but if I\'m in a bad mood or really bored I\'ll get close to someone, not so much tailgate or if in good fun try to pass them. This is only on the interstate of coarse. I never tailgate or anything in the area where I live. I live in the woods and deer suddenly jump out.

:laughing: I wasn\'t expecting that.

I don\'t get road rage that often. I only get aggressive with others if they are clearly driving like an ass. On a two lane road I hate it when people \'drive\' (the speed limit) in the left lane... it\'s called the passing lane for a reason dumbass.
-
Meh... Life is too short to have road rage. "Defensive driving" sure, but being pissed off on the road while driving huge chunks of metal down the freeway at 70 miles an hour just isn\'t smart. I took driving school online when I got a ticket (for quite a lame reason, never come to Arizona). There was a statement in the program that I\'ll never forget, "Sit back with nonchalant humor as other drivers try to kill themselves." Sounds like a plan.

What\'s worse is when they drive 60 in a 65 in the left lane and so are the other assholes in the other lanes. I almost got in an accident on I-295 one night coming home from school because of some dipshit that was driving 60 in a 65 in the passing lane. I went to pass them in the right lane since there was someone in the middle lane keeping pace with the other person and as I\'m slowly heading back in the left lane, some asshole driving atleast 90 (since I was doing 85) tries to speed past me, even though my blinker was on and I was already moving in. If I didn\'t see their headlights in my tiny side mirror, he would have hit me and I would have been killed. My car defintely would have flipped over in the median.

"Sit back with nonchalant humor as other drivers try to kill themselves."
I like that, heh.
My problem is mostly caused by my body kit. Some roads are at such awkward inclines, often in parking garages and stuff, that even at a really slow speed I\'ll just start grinding into the pavement.
It was so bad the other day I had to throw it in reverse and back up out of the garage. Any further forward I would have ripped the front bumper off. I was pissed.
I never should\'ve made my car more frustrating to drive, but I wanted to beef up my credit score and thought to make the car flashier with the loan money.
Basically I try to tell myself now that worst case, I end up going back to a normal, decent bumper. So who cares even if it does break off. I dunno.

What car do you drive Eik?

Those cars are absolute embarrassments. And they still go 0-60 in 12 seconds ;)

BWHAAAAAAHAAAHAAA!
wow that\'s gay.

JBean, it feels like that sometimes, heh.
Here\'s the photo I have of the car. I edited the background to be blurry to make the car stand out more.

Lose the orange stripes. Makes it look like a Hot Wheels car.

Some people like it, other people don\'t. Guess whose opinion I don\'t pay attention to? ;]

Just because you can\'t take the truth ;)

i think i voiced my opinion about the stripes as well...me personally i would get rid of them, and just smoke out the windows, white cars look really good when they\'re ultra white and clean,...some nice wheels couldn\'t hurt either, but eh you really don\'t need those. as long as the thongs levitate when you\'re takin\' that shorty to that sleazy motel in seaside, that\'s all that matters!...:fro:
-
Seaside is a disgusting place......and I love it :cool: Gotta get a trip planned there this summer.
-
^^^Seaside and Wildwood....i used to love goin\' down there over the summer...when i used to live in piscataway, seaside was about 45 min away....good times..:p
-
Heres one i caught on the way to work the other day..
-
^^^that truck actually doesn\'t look that bad...just lose the wing...*yes i know that\'s what you\'re probably talkin\' bout* just sayin....and you guys drive on the wrong side of the road...;)

Meh. I don\'t get road rage at all. I let people in and I\'m not usually a douche. Unless somebody decides that driving on my ass is going to make me go faster. Then I slow down. I\'m talking about maybe 20 under the limit until they realize that they are douches and when they try to pass me before they even reach the side of my car I speed up and they end up right behind me again!
The ones I really hate is when you are stuck in heavy traffic and they honk at you for not moving the ENTIRE THREE CAR LENGTHS in front of you. I\'m sorry I drive a stick shift and unless I see the need to move then I won\'t.

Heh, I\'ve done that. It really helps if you have a V8 under the hood like me ;)

If I had a gun with me I would have shot a dude last friday. The parking lot was full at a local movie theater and I saw someone was about to pull out of a spot. I pulled up and put my turn signal on as they were starting to pull out. A car then reversed in front of me from an aisle next to me and put their turn signal. Doing so they almost blocked the car from pulling out and jumped in front of me.
Some prick with dealer plates on a BMW. Instead, I just calmly put my brights on and didn\'t reverse any when he tried to make space for the car to pull out.

Should have keyed his brand new BMW.

Was this cat rollin with some people\'s? cause clearly i would\'ve kicked his teeth in! he clearly cut in front of you to get that spot, total dissrespect...ultimately i guess you did the right thing, nowadays you never know if people in those particular situations are strapped, and it really isn\'t that serious....i would\'ve been highly pissed tho! you should\'ve went to the dollar store and sprinkle some thumb tacks or nails around all four tires....or pay some drug fiends to take the wheels offa that brand new beemer and have him come out to his whip sitting on four cinterblocks!...

I find it funny when people get so pissed about a parking spot. But then again, I\'m hypocritical because I\'ve been pissed in a situation like that :p

I saw 2 brothas pull a movie-style bumper cars trying to run each other off the road on thursday. 2 SUV\'s smashin into each other as they pulled away from a stop light, I was right behind them. I just backed up and waited for the bullets to start flying. one forced the other into a pharmacy lot, and they got out and started throwing fists...
