Your road rage stories? How do you handle it.

[oldag]

I cruised through the whole thread and noted something that was left unsaid. If you find yourself in a road rage situation, don't drive faster. Slow down and if necessary, pull over. Nothing will be gained by turning a road rage incident into a high speed road rage incident! If you have your cell phone, call the law.

Pulling over can lead to the other person blocking you in and coming after you. Better make sure you are prepared to drive off, perhaps over the assailant, if you pull over and stop.

As to the original question, to quote a famous Italian racer: "What is in my rear view mirror is of no concern to me."

He didn't have a speed limit and soccer mom vans to deal with.

OP appears to have dropped off. Must be a sale on flat brimmed hats and oakleys somewhere.

Nah. Just got bored of the same thing being said over and over. Actually, I'm amazed that this thread is still going... good on me for starting such a interesting thread

Edit- I lost interest when people started talking about turtle sex. Lol

Had a guy fly by honking at me today.


I realized I had been cruzing in the left lane. Checked my mirrors and moved to the right.


Being an adult is so boring.

Pfft - not it isn't. It just doesn't matter. When the jackasses try to scoot over into the open lane, I probably let them in more than anyone (sorry Dawico, I do not support Bernie) Really? Maybe I've got low T or something, but they are not worth the effort. For the 15 seconds they might cost me, I think their blood pressure is higher than mine.

That topic is from the PW thread.

If they use a blinker, I will usually let them in.

I adopt this rule for most lane changing. I will sincerely try to help you make your lane change if you signal. However, that doesn't apply to those "cut in the front of the line" situations. As for those "stealth" lane-changers who are constantly weaving from lane to lane without signals, I just try to avoid getting clipped. I figure they'll screw up all on their own, eventually.

Some (not all) of this could be avoided is people heeded the "slower traffic keep right" signs.

If someone wants to drive less than the speed limit, I am fine with that. Just do it in the right lane, not the left.

THIS. Don't be that asshole that drives side by side with someone doing 10 under the speed limit (I have had this happen). At that point, your just being a jerk to everyone else behind you.

Don't forget the ones that speed up as you go to get around them.

Yes, the screen play. Seems like some folks like driving neck and neck. I don't want to be driving right next to anybody. No avenue of escape in case an emergency maneuver is necessary.
