have you ever experienced road rage?

Question

if so what is the one thing that really ticks you off?

Answer 1

Having lived in Miami for msot of my life, I would say YES... which is why it was rated as having the rudest drivers in the country.

It's everywhere...doesn't matter age, sex, etc. It's quite bad...And yes, I'm horrible. I would throw my car at someone if they would try to cut me off...run them off the road..

Some of the things that would tick me off, lack of turn signal, but then I just ignored that. Now if someone would TRY to cut me off, I would return the favor. Tailgating, ment I would downshift 2 gears, and the person better have good insurance. Now when it says Merge on someone elses lane, it means THEY need to merge for me...so many times they would just throw their car to scare you, so I would throw them right back...New paint job doesn't hurt anyone.

I dislike specially on highways...the left most lane is the PASSING lane. It does NOT mean, that because your doing the speed limit, it's OK to stay on it doing the speed limit. So for those people I would severely cut them off where they needed to slam their brakes...without turn signal too.

The funny ones are the ones you go around, Then THEY notice how slow they were, and trying to catch up with you, for WHAT reason its beyond me.

Now I moved up north, where people are much nicer overall, so I'm much more relaxed, and in 2 years I only had one episode of roadrage. Person took the emergency lane skipped about 10 people and THOUGHT I was going to let him through. Just threw my car at him "Hit me, but make sure you I'm paralyzed because I'll get out of the car and beat ya"...He stayed back real quick. And when the light turned green, I blocked his car from going forward and let the 10-15 people behind me go thru.

But other than that, it's been totally peachy here in Orlando :)

Answer 2

Yes. Very recently I was taking my teen age daugher and her girlfriend to look at Snowball dresses (relevent to the story because I had young girls in the car and we were doing HAPPY things..)
Anyway, this guy blows through a yield sign and almost hits me (merging onto the express way). He got in behind me and began to tail gate me and throw up his arms as if to say "what the heck are you doing lady". HE BLEW THRU THE YEILD SIGN!!! I am sure he didn't ever see the damn thing!!! Then the tailgating got so bad that I couldn't see his headlights. I know he wanted me to go faster, but there was a person puttering onto the expressway at half the speed you should go. Suddenly, this warmth over came me. I mean I thought my ears were going to ignite. So I hit my breaks...no, not tapped, hit. It was by the grace of God that I didn't get rear ended and I don't know what I would have done if he did hit me. Probably stay in the car and call 911.
Anyway, this pissssed him off so badly that when we got on the expressway he zoomed next to me and began to gesture and swerve like he was going to hit me.
Here is the cool part. He then zoomed in front of me and slammed on his brakes. But I knew he was going to do it so I was already slowing down.
He lost control of his car (duh, winter in Michigan...) and fishtailed for quite a way before recovering and taking an exit. (how embarassing for him).
But the rage part is that I was mad enough that I was swearing like a sailor with this other persons daughter in my car...an I truly think I would have laughed out loud if he would have totaled his car.
I was scary that day.

Answer 3

Yes and about 20 miles down the road I realized that I needed my medication. I was still upset over some dude cutting me off I made an illegal u Turn that cost me $200.00 That ticked me off.

Answer 4

The blankly blank who pull out in front of even though there is no one behind you than goes down the road 100 feet 10 mph below the limit than stops without signaling to make a left turn. I just want to run the eighteen wheeler right through them.

Answer 5

i assume all of us have at a while or yet another. however the countless incidents are rather frightening, there are some evil human beings on our roads. on no account, EVER make eye touch with highway ragers. my maximum regularly occurring expression is "seem at this fool"..... uncomplicated!! I on no account force indignant, even nonetheless it took me years to verify the thank you to try this. I on no account get entangled now. this is an interetsting thought. the belief-with regard to the "enemy vehicle". somebody cuts you up on the highway, or annoys you in some wrong way, maybe only via fact they are using a cellular telephone or some thing. so which you carry a shameful, secret little grudge against them, each so often for 20 or 30 miles, then once you get to three highway works or they get caught at the back of a tractor, you would be vindictive to them with the aid of attempting to dam them in. this could be a shopper-friendly source of highway rage.

Answer 6

YES! I have a serious problem with road rage, it scares me. I can't help but race people, especially girls in the same car as me, its a thing i have, when im at a red light, i need to race them. Once I stuck my finger up at a guy driving and he cut me off and came to my window to beat me up, I had to drive on the otherside of the road in incoming traffic to get away.
I need to calm down but I just get so angry, I hate ppl cutting me off!!

Answer 7

I seem to see it every single day. usually if the person is right on my tail, i move over and let them pass. I do tend to give them the "look" though. I do get upset though when i have kids in my car and people around me are driving around like they own the road. taling me, cutting me off or running a red light. Its gets me hot mad, but i have to keep my cool. because who knows what those people are capable of. I think the running the red lights are what get me because it seems like those people do not give a damn if they might hit a Innocent person.

Answer 8

I live in a rural community, our town is out in the middle of nowhere and most of the road that lead out of town are one lane roads. It really pisses me off when someone will get right on my bumper and tailgate me the whole way out to the freeway (which is about 10-15 miles to either freeway). I hate that, it pisses me off and it gets me nervous.

Answer 9

I would have to say when I get behind someone yacking on their cell phone and not watching the damn frek'en road and doing 35 in a 55 !!

Answer 10

It really ticks me off when a person gets right up on my butt with bright lights on, especially when they do it for no reason
