who's been effected by road rage.

do u get angry with other road users or have you been on the receiving end of someones anger.

I get so peed off when someone cuts me up. When people walk out into the road as if they own it and I have to apply the breaks! D!ckheads who overtake on roundabouts.

Lets just say that the language in my car turns the air very blue. Lol

i was on the receiving end once, and it shook me up so bad that I damaged my car when I got to work I was shaking so much, I had to report the guy - what a loser he had his kids in the car too

I certainly get angry with other road users and have a good old swear at them and call them all the names under the sun. (I did this last week when my elderly mother was in the car and I think she was shocked!) I don't get angry to the extent that I would go after someone though.
So far I haven't been on the receiving end - I don't know how I would react to that.

the only thing that annoys me is people driving below the speed limit. fair enough if it's a learner driver of heavily laden van etc.
4X4's are one of the main culprits (and old people of course but i do try and be patient with those)
people can make mistakes and have had one car written off by driver pulling out on me, this didn't get me annoyed though, it was a stupid mistake.
when someone holds up the tafic because they aren't in a hurry, well this is just selfish.

i've only been on the receiving end of road rage once when i pulled out on someone during rush hour (we'r all trying to get somewhere aren't we). he chased after me so i stopped for him (i was on motorcycly at the time) thought i would listen to what he had to say. he didn't say too much and thought he would just thump me instead which was a little foolish as i was wearing a crash helmet. i didn't want to stay arround for this and as i'd left my motor running and he'd left his car door open, i got away and he lost his car door.

My boss drives at 55mph absolutely everywhere.... there is no reasoning with him that this speed is far too fast near schools and kiddie's playgrounds but a tad slow on the motorway... he claims it is the optimum speed for petrol consumption, doh ! Talk about a blinkered mentality !
