Not road rage, I hate road ragers also, but whats been getting me is fuckers crossing/walking on the road who think they are invincible. Specifically in car parks. What is it with people who think because they are in a car park, they dont have to treat the roads in said car park with any respect. ITS STILL A ROAD FUCKWIT, AND MY CAR WILL STILL MOW YOU DOWN LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN THERE!!!!
A guy crossed in front of me yesterday and I had to make a very serious split second decision about whether I should run him over on pure point of principle since he walked over a busy road with his eyes pointly firmly downwards.

And on the point of road rage, why do people do it? If someone bumps into you in the street you think nothing of it, yet if you perceive someone to have wronged you on the road you are shouting swearing gesturing and offering to throw down in a lay by????

Really? What gets me is this, what do people who road rage want to get out of the situation? What would be a satisfactory conclusion for them? Someone killed at the side of the road? Killed yourself or as the victor, a life in jail?

My girlfriend sometimes does it and I have to laugh cos whats going to happen if some big aggresive man gets out his car and takes exception? How can that end well?

Road rage is the most pointless and foolish pursuit of modern times.

I think it's the factor of death. If someone bumps into while walking, there is very little likely hood that you will perish. In a motor vehicle, that equation changes.

I never understood road rage until I started driving with my daughter in the car. That first drive home from the hospital was the most nerve racking experience that I've ever experienced on the road. If it's just me in the vehicle, I know that I can most likely survive a collision in my F150 Super Crew...but if I'm driving my daughter, all I can think about is what might happen to her.

Only God knows what I'd do if someone else was responsible.

Yeah I know, but youv got fuckers who want a square go cos you pulled out of a junction in front of them or some shit. I understand the rage if someone does something really reckless, everyone would be angry with that, what i'm talking about is people gettin all pissy about stupid little slights, and moreover, what do they think they can achieve by ranting and raving about it? Just fuckin get on with it.
