What makes people change when they are behind the drivers wheel?

I don't know what the situation was like but sometimes it angers me when pedestians walk right up the middle lane. Wake up ppl your not the only one in the world.

Something like that is a mixture of impatience and lack of consideration. Besides, people do give in to their tempers all the time. This woman should have been cussed raw right there on the spot. That would have put her straight. I don't think its the car, its the ridiculous woman and her lack of self control. People these days just don't place enough importance on their self-control.

I really don't know it is disgusting when People are like that I am sorry that you had to put up with that I am a Driver but I would never be so rude but it is the same here they are so horrible and I just do not know why

I know exactly what you mean.it's as if they think their the only ones out there.it's like playing chicken just to cross the road,

LOL I dont know but people seem to become demons when behind the wheel, my sister in law says that she gets so angry these days when she is driving. It makes me so glad that I do not drive!

...BEcause people in general are impatient, and even though their nice people like me i am an impatient person so when someone irritate's me or i mistake something for something else i get mad at myself and that other person.... driving can change alot of people's attitude.

well i really dont knowmaybe she miscalculated on something thats why she nearly hit you!!i mean the direction you were going...i know a lot of drivers not really specifically women that drives arrogantly..

I am not really too bad but when I am alone on my car and I see some really stupid drivers doing something selfish or dangerous my language would make a sailor blush.

How rude! I think maybe people today are in way too much of a rush. They have all these things going on in their lives that in the end don't amount to a hill of beans in the long run. When they start having chest pains, then it hits them, what have I done with my life. I am so sorry you had to be subjected to someone elses bad hair day. Hugs Marilyn

I think people feel insulated from the world once they are shut unto their little own little world inside the car, therefore think ordinary behavioural standards don't apply to them any more. Have you noticed the people tend to forget that you can see into their cars too? I never fail to be astonished at the number of people who will happily sit in traffic picking their noses! mind you, perhaps they do that in public too!

She sounds like a crazy person and doesn't need to be behind the wheel of a car.. That is ridiculous for her to be acting like that.. I get so mad sometimes, I could take a ball bat to some of these rude ignorant drivers.. We have almost been run over so many times that I have gotten to the point that I am afraid of being in a car.. It really makes me a nervous wreck just to be riding.. It is really stupid when they are in the wrong and then they have the nerve to get mad.. Glad you are ok..

it is not your fault that you werent going to your car.i just laugh at people like her and keep on going.

just don't follow their foot steps, don't act like a jerk or childish. What so great if you own a car? make you almighty?? those guys is just short minded people who's need a mental doctor. Never understood why some people have those manners, like their parent never taught them.

I confess...when I drive I can be the nicest person (sure I will let you get in front of me) or the meanest b***** (heck no I am not letting you in) and it is completely dependent on the situation. I am a sweetheart by nature. You know, please, thank you and so on but if someone cuts me off on the road a few times I get road rage for real. I am usually more uptight when I have time constraints and people want to drive slow in the fast lane or avoid every little pot hole in the street. I mean unless that lady was in a rush to get some medicine for someone who was dying at the time, she was out of order. Acting crazy at a parking lot? I am sure there were other places to park. She maybe should have used her mouth and asked you were you parked somewhere instead of assuming that you drove. Many people are just rude by nature and it makes me sick.

i don't know Hatley, I think its kind of the same thing folks do when at the computer here, it is the amenity. I wonder if she felt badly later that evening? Perhaps her day was so rotten that yelling at a lady who was walking made her feel better? Who knows, I have found myself flipping someone the bird while driving that I would not have other wise has I not been harried to begin with.

Oh MY Hatley you know i have seen this so often! I have been known to get angry in the car but only because so many people are so inconsiderate and do stupid and downright dangerous things! I have heard many stories about people hurting and even killing others over a row about parking places and such like! xxx

isn't it funny how eveyone complains about how bad other drivers are but they never make posts saying, wow, did I do something stupid while driving today. I know I have yelled at plenty of people, however, I have also done some pretty stupid or careless things while driving myself. There are some people though that are just not good drivers. technology isn't necessarily helping as it is giving people more distractions. imagine the old days where maybe you had a radio and a window or heater. Now those things plus cd players, ipods, cell phones, gps, dvd players, and who knows what else.

Who says that these are nice people outside of their autos? Many of the people with the worst road rage aren't exactly Miss Mary Sunshine on the street. Bad manners plague our society. It is not limited to being behind the wheel of an auto. The best we can do is to try our best.... and hold our children to a high standard as well.
