Road Rage

[Zubrman]

Driving isn't a pleasure these days,there are far too many cars on the road and far too many stress heads - a by product of the pressure of modern life.

I encounter half a dozen everyday during busy periods,i could quite easily end up in alot of mither if i didn't take a few deep breaths.

Driving trains is good though.

Has its moments.

It took me years of cutting people up, giving them abuse verbally and by hand signals and destroying the odd wing mirror or two before I realised it was all pointless. If you run into a dickhead he/she was a dickhead yesterday and will be a dickhead tomorrow. If you want to wind someone up yawn or laugh at them people really hate that.

One guy nearly had an aneurism when I kept shrugging my shoulders and laughing at him.

Nice use of green rather than red there, in keeping with the traffic lights.

You have it easy driving in the UK! At least there some of the drivers pay heed to the laws of the road, here in Malaysia to see an indication is a rare occurrence, it is considered acceptable to be in the outside lane of a busy 3 lane road and then cut across all lanes when you reach your junction, there is no maneuver planning at all. That and the motorbikes, they are all convinced that they cannot be hurt and squeeze through the smallest gaps whilst going at a great rate of knots. No wonder my hair has fallen out and that left is turning grey.

I had it about 12 months ago in Newton heath, queue of traffic etc then all of a sudden a taxi starts blowing his horn excessively the guy in front of me thought it was me jumped out came to the car and started ranting about me blowing my horn told him to get fucked or pull over properly and we'll have a discussion out of sight of anyone else at this point the taxi driver started beeping again,he realised his mistake jumped in his car not a sorry kiss my arse or anything what made it worse was the twat had a rag shirt on

Best not to go out, just stay in.

You drive the same way i do then. I always expect the worst from other drivers, and unfortunately I'm not let down as much as I'd like to be.

It's not just driving though, the selfishness is everywhere. It's that common now that a lot of it just goes unnoticed, or ignored as it's just too much trouble calling people on it.

Driving to Bury in my new motor on Monday morning with my grandaughter in the back a car flys up right behind me, and i mean right behind. I'm in the outside lane of a four lane road doing under 30mph. I indicate to pull into the left lane and gently begin to manouevre. The twat behind swerves inside me and zooms to undertake. Our cars touch, my offside front with his drivers side rear wheel arch. I drive onto the nearest safe place to stop with the other guy following. He gets out and is snapping pics of both cars like billyo. There is a small white mark on his car and mine has a bit more damage. The driver and passenger didn't speak any English so i couldn't communicate at all with them. I took pics, gave them my number and drove off.
Later that day i get a text saying, 'I've spoke to my advisors and if you put £300 in my bank by midnight i will not claim for health/damages. if not (and he put this in capitals) WE WILL GET THE INSURANCE INVOLVED.' I replied with, 'Insurance it is then. Send me your details.'
I've yet to hear back from the fucker and my insurers have not been notified. I spoke to them and they said any claim made against me will be contested as the other driver was 'under-taking'.

Me new fucking car.....

My rage would know no bounds with people like that lol, touch wood never had an accident but if someone put my family in danger with dangerous driving they would get the bike chain on their bonce.

I've calmed down alot now with road rage, mainly due to me walking to work and not being stuck in rush hour with all the impatient scum. My biggest bug bare is people with halogen lights not dipping them at night and blinding you, or people on the motorway in bad weather not turning their lights on.
