Road Rage

I was reading an article about what annoys drivers the most when driving.  Here's the link: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/254899.php

Road rage stories!

I'll tell the only time I got so mad that I retaliated a little.   I was driving home from work and it was around 10:00pm, so there weren't many cars out.  Somehow in a 30 second window, two cars almost crash into me because they have a death wish and give no indication that they NEED to get over into the lane I'm in.  Instead of giving me some sign, they cut over within a foot or so of hitting me.  With the second car, I pulled up very close behind them while we were at a red light, so that my lights were shining in their face.   I know, terrible.  But I was so annoyed.  It was right after I'd been hit by a car as a pedestrian (I had the right of way and he was turning a corner), so my nerves were already rattled.  I understand not wanting to be pulled off into oblivion by a turning lane, but if you give me NO sign that you want to get over, I'm going to assume you're turning.  Why wouldn't I?  Plus, because of how late it is, there's usually no one behind me.  They could just drive slowly and pull in behind me.  They don't though.   It happens so regularly, I just gun it now in certain spots.

If you can't tell, I'm a pretty mellow driver.  That's the best I've got.  What about you guys?

I don't have revenge road rage but ish pisses me off driving out here in the slow arse South

Yall drive so SLOW out here! And most of the time there's only 1 or two lanes. I claw my eyes out driving behind some people here

And why is it that ATLians don't know the laws of the road? I swear most ppl out here don't know who has the right of way and when...

In case you couldn't tell, i get road rage

i never retaliate but some ish pisses me off
-driving too slow
-no signals
-honking at me when the light turned green literally like a nanosecond ago, how fast do you want me to take off????
-slowing down out of no where on the highway
-taking way too long to make a turn
-weaving in and out of traffic, usually the little sport cars do that crap
-When im trying to switch lanes and the bastard speeds up so i cant get in i dont understand why people do that crap.

i am a very tame driver.  i know some people who have severe road rage...it concerns me...

Scary situation.   Since you don't know what types of crazies are on the road, it's best to play it safe.   Though I do hate a mofo who doesn't use the turn signal

Omg!  A hammer?!

I hate when people constantly tap on their brakes while driving down the highway.
