The last few day's I have been trying my best to avoid road rager's getting out of their way moving over slowing up so they could move on or speeding up to give them room, but they keep messing with me and won't leave me alone no matter how much space I give so they can get on down the road, at 3 or 4 am there's plenty of free space why don't they just leave me be if I get out of their way why do they insist on trying to get me to react to them, what can I do to be left alone, I don't look at them, flash high beams, push brakes, nothing I give them free run to get on down the road.

It is really getting worse all the time. I see this day in, day out, merely traveling to work and back. You are doing the right thing by not responding to the ragers disrespect. Unfortunately, to them it makes no difference. The vehicle gives them "power" so they think. This whole thing with road rage is a sign of the state of human affairs today. These very same people on the road are in the stores, at the office, the restaurants. Just continue to drive properly and ignore these lunatics. I would suggest traveling on roads you know to be road-rage free to the most part. (you may still get occasional jerks but not as overwhelming). It may be out of your way, but at least you will feel at ease while driving. Try to pick these alternate roads with more than one lane - so the crazies can drive past in their raging glory. I discovered that the more rural two laners are good for travel in peace. Try the scenic routes if you have them nearby to where you want to travel. Not only is this a pleasant ride, but the Mario Andretti's aren't into scenery, only speed. Good luck in your travels.

it sounds like they are drunk or immature or have nothing to do... keep away from them as best you can. keep a cell phone handy and dont give them the attention they want - drive a different way and stop at a fire station (there's always someone there) or a police station -they wont follow you there. maybe you could put a fake person in the passenger seat so it doesnt look like you are alone. (when i had to drive at night, my dad made me put my hair up into a baseball cap -lol! but i understand the theory behind that.

Ya recognize my well-known? ok, so like driving sixty 5 in a fifty 5 in the rustic isn't quick adequate for some idiots that they might want to tailgate me...Why might want to they no longer merely bypass in the adventure that they are in a hurry you ask? because their heads are too some distance up theirass! I right now get their interest by technique of swerving over to the shoulder and throwing a twig of rocks throughout the front of their vehicle. do not fvck with me, on the line...I allow you to recognize!

Usually happens this time of the year. Colleges are getting ready to start and kids are moving in. I have been seeing it too.

try to ignore them and pay attention to your driving because if you start paying too much attention to them you will have a wreck...
I know you aren't looking at them but I'm saying don't start.
if they are being too bad slow down a lot and get the license plate number and turn them in.

i wouldnt give them carte blanche. dont let them intimidate you. you deserve to be on the road just like anyone else. someone try to dog me. i stay in front of them and slow down more. dont let people run over you just because they think they can. stand uo for your rights to be on public highways.
