Didn't George Carlin say something about driving? something like, you're the only person who knows how to drive. Everyone in front of you is an idiot, and everyone behind you is a lunatic. I'm both those people.

always my pleasure -- although I remember wht he actually said now -- carlin said that you are the only person who knows how to drive. everybody who drives slower than you is an idiot. Everybody who dries faster than you is a lunatic. believe it or not I was thinking about this whenI went to sleep.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I can only imagine how difficult traffic must be for you in your country with so little discipline. May you always be safe on the road.

No I do not get roadrage as for causing it, Do you really think that that is wise. Here in California that can get you shot! Especially the laughing about it part. You want to be as consciencious as possible and as courteous as possible while not being just a defensive driver. I rarely drive anymore but these are the tenets that I try to follow when I do.

I hear ya. People around here (Indiana) think it's a hobby to p*ss off as many drivers as they can. There's been more than one time I'd liked to have yanked someone who thought they were funny by causing me to nearly hit them or something to that effect out of their car and showed them what I thought might be funny, but there are laws against road rage around here. Too bad there aren't any laws against people who cause road rage.

This may sound crazy but when I get behind the wheel I am very calm, I'm not usually a calm person at home as I tend to lose my temper and get wound up, however I love driving, and once in the car I actually relax and yes I laugh at other people getting so wound up, driving to me is very therapeutic, if I do get stuck in traffic or get cut up, I just sit back and shrug it off, I wish I could adopt the same attitude with other things that annoy me in life!

Wow! I wish I could cop that same attitude for my driving. That's cool that you have the ability to not let driving stress you out. My traveling wasn't that bad today at all, even the trucker I got behind was making good time and around here that's rare, lol. Thanks for stopping in, you have been rated :)

i consider myself a good woman driver :D basically, i will get roadrage when the drivers in front drove so slowly and refuse to get over the other slow lane. i lose my temper very easily when im driving on the road and meeting those inconsiderate drivers...that's why it's not advisable for me to have those people that im trying to impress in my car when im driving :D

I hear ya. That's what gets on my nerves the most too. People who drive under the speed limit...especially in a no-passing zone, lol. :) Thank you for coming in to share with us.

Hurray for honesty. I know I cause roadrage in the dark on rainy nights, but they can pass me if they don't like it. Thanks for the response.

A little of both. I am an agressive driver. People tell me that all the time. But I also am on the other end of it sometimes.

All of the above! LOL Sometimes I think I'm more amazed at the stupidity of other drivers than I am angry. I probably have caused some roadrage. I tend to be a cautious driver. Just because someone is riding on my bumper does not mean I'm going to speed up - especially if I'm already going the speed limit! I figure if they don't like it, they can go around. Yes, other times I've laughed. Someone went flying by me one day, a mile or two later I saw them pulled over by the highway patrol. You bet I laughed and laughed!!!

LOL, that reminds me of a time back in highschool when I drove a Le Mans. This Firebird acted like it wanted to race, and I knew there was a sherriff's car sitting up ahead because I went through that part of downtown regularly that time of day, so I put it in neutral and revved in affirmation that I would race the idiot and when the light changed, he floored it down the hill and I took off normal. LMAO still... you guessed it, the sheriff got him, and I rolled tears I was laughing so hard...so did my ex-boyfriend's little brother whom I was babysitting that day. Thanks for stopping in, Melanie. You have been +'ed :)

As a learner driver, I am the cause of the rage of the driver's around me. Some people are just too impatient to obey the rules of the road and some are too illiterate to understand the 'L' sign on the car I'm driving. Nadine.
