How do you react when someone cuts you off in traffic?

Question

It usually doesn't bother me, but sometimes I get upset when someone is disrespectful. I see a lot of road rage in my town. How do you react? Be honest.

Answer 1

I don't react. I continue driving defensively, only I become more defensive with the offending driver, putting as much distance between him or her and me as possible, just as I would if I found myself on the same stretch of road as a drunk driver.

Answer 2

wow that's an interesting question that I think EVERYONE can relate to...road rage in some way. I try to consider myself a good driver-follow signs and all but one thing that really annoys me-when somebody pulls out from a stop sign on to a highway and cuts you off while your going like 45-50 mph...you have to break hard and honk the horn...it;s just a pain in the .. butt. It's all about patience, try not to be in a hurry cause if you are it makes everyone around you seem like a horrible driver and gets you all frustrated...But there really isn't any thing much you can do about it, you get pissed honk your horn, flip them the bird...lol sometimes when ppl cut me off I'll follow extremely close and then try to pass them haha it really isn't that healthy or anything and it'll just show how idiotic you yourself can get, just try to be the better person and yell at them in your car even tho they can't here you to get it out of your system then turn on a good song! If you really want to do something about it, you could call the cops and tell them there's an aggressive, possible drunk driver on the road-just give them the license tag number and where they look like there headed to...then they'd have someone in that area keep a look out. Bottom line, there's nothing really you can do about it, crap like this happens all the time and it really is disrespectful, but that's how some people are, they only think about themselves, unfortunately...just don't be one of those crazy aggressive road ragers who follow them and all, you could get hurt.....and continue ur safe good ol' driving knowing ur not like that :-)

Answer 3

To be angry, to look down at the person, to wish a bad result for that bad driving...all seems honest or normal! How would we be regretful if we knew that his wife needs his urgent presence on her deadbed,
But, the better way is perhaps to tell oneself be more careful in the traffic and remember to wear always a sympathetic smile.
Yes, in this case, our nerves may be more burning than in other cases that need understanding and forgiveness.

Answer 4

Depends, I have had people cut me off that endangered me, that really angers me. If they signal, I'll let them in or by, but some people are so impatient. They are usually the ones that go roaring by and then I pull up next to them at a stop light. Then I gloat.

Peace.

Answer 5

I ride a motorbike so no one dare cuts me off.

The few times they are stupid to try, they try to make a quick getaway because they never know what the guy in the helmet and leather jacket will do to em.

Answer 6

One of our fruits is self control,
So I control my cut offs by, YELLING AT THE CAR,,,,
"TELL JESUS HELLO FOR ME WHEN YOU SEE HIM, CAUSE THE WAY YOUR DRIVING YOUR GOING TO BE THERE BEFORE ME." HEAVEN AN HELL ARE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, LORD DON'T LET THIS BE HIS TIME, MAY HE FIND YOU BEFORE THE ROAD RAGED PEOPLE DO.

Answer 7

I don't do anything but thank God that I wasn't involved in an accident.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 8

I call them names, especially if it is someone on a cell phone not paying attention, but they can't hear me because I am inside my car. Then it is done and I move on with my day.

Answer 9

Depends on my mood and how stupidly they cut me off. Sometimes I get angry.
