I'm not a fast driver, but I have to say it is very very very frustrating and dangerous when people drive below the speed limit, because it does encourange overtaking in dodgy places.
I was surprised that this bloke looked to be in his mid 30's, his was so slow. People like him deserve to be called a c**t.
Quote: Jacob Loves Comedy @ September 1 2009, 3:06 PM BSTDriving back from the gym I was stuck behind someone who was going really really slow and breaking at every single opportunity. It looked to be a bloke in his mid-late 30's.
Anyway, I know the roads really well so when I got to a safe and suitable place, I started to overtake him, but as I started to do this, he started to speed up so I couldn't overtake. What a cock. Anyway, I had to pull back over and sit behind him for the rest of my journey where he continued to go slowly knowing I couldn't overtake anywhere else on the road due to its corners and bends etc. I clapped my hands so he could see me in his mirror, but he just sat looking smug.
What an absolute c**t he was
Anyone else had some road rage experiences?
I do that. It's fun!
I live in a retirement/resort type of community, thus lots of old folks. My children actually made me put a "swear jar" in the car due to the amount of cussing I do while driving. Our main street is double laned, leading to many cut-offs and sideswipes. In 6 months time I was able to take us all to the movies!

Then unfortunately you would be someone I would describe as a c**t.

Pedestrian rage! Don't make us angry, you wouldn't like us when we are angry. A driver got angry one day because I didn't wave my thanks as he let me cross the zebra crossing. I just ignored him.

Posse.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ September 1 2009, 3:51 PM BSTRoad Rage is brilliant. In what other area of life could you get away with calling a 70 year old lady 'a f**king c**t!'?
I learned my lesson about raging at the elderly about 10 years ago. I, too, grew up in a retirement community if Florida. One of my pet peeves was the lack of attention paid to the stop signs at the local shopping mall. Cars entering from the highway quickly come to a T-intersection but they have no stop sign so that traffic doesn't back up onto the highway.
More often than not, mall drivers who came to the parts of the intersection with stop signs would stop and then proceed forward, expecting the drivers entering from the highway to stop at the non-existent stop sign and wait their turn.
One time an old geezer practically hit me after coming to a brief stop, so I followed him to his parking space and read him the riot act about failing to yield to me. Then the poor old guy started crying, apologized profusely and explained that he wasn't thinking clearly because he'd just come from his wife's funeral. 
I shrunk to about 2 inches tall, told him I was sorry and promised myself that in the future I wouldn't confront old people about their driving habits.

Just a friendly reminder that it's quite legal for me to carry a handgun in my car. 
Just drive slowly everyone. What's all this rushing about for? Bring back the 1930's I say.

The bullets in my clip are tipped with kryptonite, silver, garlic and wooden stakes. I think I have all the bases covered.

You Americans have firearms covered.
Good luck!

Another thing we have in common.
I once pissed off some drivers in France (I was a pedestrian). When they'd caught up with me they slowed down to vent some abuse out of the window and the car behind went into the back of them and it all ended in some French argy-bargy. Sweet Karma.

Don't try it in Los Angeles.
