Give them the finger, flip them the bird, whatever you wish to call it.

Back when I was a teen (30yrs ago) I was at a light when I dropped my cigarette. I reached down for it and someone blew the horn because the light changed. I flipped them off without looking. Got arrested. The cop I flipped off had no sense of humor.

Yeah, because most people don't know how to drive. I almost got yanked out of the car once at a stop light for flipping off some guys, but that only stopped me from giving people the finger for about a month.

Only if they don't look like they might carry a gun or might get out of the car and beat me up.
I usually stick to flipping of old ladies but never a car full of gangsters.

Never, anymore. I did that once many years ago (before road rage) and the driver started following me..... That really scared me -so I drove to the police station. He decided to drive off...but I then wondered if he could find out where I lived from my license plate #. It was at that moment I decided it wasn't worth getting that mad over people who do dumb things when they drive. You just never know who you're dealing with...

Yes, regularly, and it's often accompanied by a loud "Dic*head!"
I am not afraid of some jerk trying to pull a gun on me. If I have the right of way, I usually take it, but I sometimes let other drivers go first, but that is MY choice, not theirs. If they earn a bird, they're getting a bird.

Yes, when they:
Cut me off
Cut me off and then drive REALLY slowly
Get on my *ss in a neighborhood where deer come darting out of the woods without warning, which warrants me slamming on my breaks, which then leads to them plowing into my trunk
Flip ME off
But I live in Jersey, so that explains a lot.

Yes and no. I will give them the bird, but below the dashboard so that they (and my kids) can't see it. Sounds stupid, but at least I feel better for doing this little "deviant" gesture, and the other person is none the wiser.

The other day I was cut off really badly by the same woman twice in a row. When I honked at her (repeatedly) she did not even notice. I am driving a van, you cannot tell me she couldn;t see it!

Nope - there are some crazies out there, and with my luck, the one I flipped off would be the one who was ready to blow. I'll stick to driving, thanks.

No I don't. I keep my hands on that steering wheel. I might come up with a mouthful though!
