so what do you do?
.... when you realize its YOU that has road rage?
I've been lurking here for a while, only recently started posting. I've read a lot of different POV's on the driving experience, and I'm realizing a lot of these behaviors fit me. I'm not into 'sloth'. I generally drive at or near the prevailing speed on a given road, regardless of the speed limit. Most of the roads I drive in my daily commute are posted at either 55 or 65, traffic usually does 5-8 above that. My problem is I get mad, like in-fookin-furiated when I run up on ol' farmer Bob poking along at 40. If I can make a safe pass and be done with him, then its not a problem. But, passing can be difficult on one particular road due to heavy oncoming traffic, especially when one drives a horribly underpowered Toyota van. Then I find myself doing unsafe stuff, like passing him in a left turn lane and the approaches to it. The road in question is 2 lanes, with a left-turn lane at some intersections. Question, is how do you combat this? I really don't want to be an asshole driver, or a MFFYer, or anything like that. What do you do to calm yourself [aside from the obvious bong? ] I'm trying to change things, like listening to mellower music instead of what I usually do. I don't do ALL the bad behaviors I see. I keep right unless actually passing. When I do pass [HAH!], I get it over with and return to the right lane. If I see cars backing up behind me and don't see a passing oppurtunity, I'll pull off on the wide shoulder and let people by. But when its me thats held up omG do I get ****ed off. I'd love to hear some of your takes on this. |

You're a psychopath and belong in prison. Why else would you get
infuriated just because someone drives slower than you. If some guy doing 40 slows you down for a minute or two, what of it? |

Because we've got more important things to do than sit behind some
moron who doesn't know how to drive? I wouldn't expect you to comprehend that, because you are stupid enough to post in alt.flame.******s, as well as to not know the difference between 6 & 60, or a stop sign and a red light, or drunken politician Tubby Kennedy's murderous act and Laura Welch's accident. |
