How do you react when someone talking on a cell-phone cuts you off in traffic?

Question

It doesn't bother me much when I'm driving my car, but when I'm on my motorcycle, there's hell to pay.

Answer 1

It pisses me off. They are so engaged in their conversation that they forget they're operating a powerful machine of a few thousand pounds.

Answer 2

Oh how I would love to hear your wife's side of this story. I bet it is a WHOLE lot different than yours. So to answer your question, yes disconnect her phone and she will get her own service. Then you will not be controlling her with this. Will this change her, of course not, because she is missing something from the relationship she is in and is seeking the attention she needs from someone else. Is it right NO, but that is how it is. What should you invest your money in? Counseling to find out what the underlying problems really are. Then maybe this could get resolved. What I don't understand is, if she is so cold hearted, evil, disloyal, disrespectful, dishonorable, unappreciative, and conniving WHY would you still want her????

Well if their was no harm done, the most is to honk your horn. I saw a movie on Lifetime the movie was Last Exit. It was about road rage and what could happen. It taught me that you have to cut people slack. Because I am sure that she did not mean too. You see in the movie I saw, it showed that we all have things going on in our life. Think of it like this, she may have a sick child in the hospital or she just found out that her husband was in a work related accident. We just do know. I am not condoning her cutting you off. But we have all done things in traffic to other people and well did we really mean to? Please look at it from this side.

Unfortunately the people that cut others off while talking on their cell phones are crappy drivers even when they have 2 hands on the wheel. I am a good driver and I have NEVER cut someone off while talking on my phone. I do try to use the hands-free option though when driving. Have you ever seen those bumper stickers that say "Hang up and drive"? I had an idiot cut me off that had this on their car and THEY were talking on their phone. I usually just honk my horn to alert them. I don't flip people off anymore since I have a 2 year-old that mimics everything.

Answer 5

First I start to get angry and ram my car, then I notice a little star pop up on the corner. I then take out an Uzi and spray his car with bullets, while another star pops up. Sirens begin flashing. I then corner him into a alley and kill them, while a third star comes up. I then see helicopters and must defend myself from law enforcements increasing more stars. I then see tanks come by and I run for my life. I passed out and I remember the word WASTED, and here I am, all because someone on a cell phone cut me off in traffic. UGHH I hate that.

Answer 6

GRRRRR! I hate it when I see people driving when they are talking on the phone. I think that all states should make it illeagal no matter what age you are. Cars and motorcycles are not toys.
My motto: GET OFF THE F'ING PHONE AND DRIVE!!!
My action though when this happens is usually giving them the bird and trying to get away from them. Road rage rules in my life. lol.......

Answer 7

I usually proceed to pull back the hammer on my .45 Springfield Armory pistol and scare the crap out of them while cussing up a storm. If this doesn't work a good pistol whip or 10 usually wakes them up. And last, but not least, as a last resort I have been known to pull the trigger after cocking it and rittle the car with bullets. Try not to hit them, as this will tack on extra criminal charges which is no fun. Then hit the gas and avoid Johnny Lawman at all costs because there could be hell to pay. Good luck and heed this advice...

Answer 8

I already have issues with road rage, and when the culprit is talking on a cell phone, it only makes issues worse!! In my state (NC), they just made it illegal to talk on your cell phone while driving if you are under 18, except in emergency situations. I'm feeling like this should be the law for EVERYONE, not just underage drivers!

Answer 9

In a car, I stay away from them, keep an eye on them. In your case, on a motorcycle, maybe just happy you didn't get killed? I don't know what I'd do, if they stopped at a light, probably pull up next to them, make sure no cop around, then kick the crap out of one of their doors.

Answer 10

What I love best is on the highway when they cut me off and apply the brakes. That's good for a headache the rest of the day. I don't do anything after applying my brakes and praying the guy behind me isn't tailgating. What's there to do that won't cause another hazard?

Answer 11

I found a phonenumber to report dangerous driving in my hometown. The operator there recognizes my voice, and gell phones are nice things to use, but not while driving. Don't let me see you do it!
