mild or mad

i get mad when people are discurtious,
or people just dont think theres anyone else on road,
other week followed a row of people playing dustbin men
cos they were too dim to edge out round the bin lorry

Tail gaters are the pits!!! Especially lorries!!! I slow down to 20 mph when there is one in my mirror!!! If they ram me, I am done for!!! When will they learn!!!

Agree about people not indicating on roudabouts.and tailgaters.
I once had while driving on the M11 a passenger in white van do a moony at me!!!!!!!!!I just looked out the window and saw this backside looking at me.I just smiled and mouthed "nice one" .Have to say I have seen much better.

Pulling up in a car park and you park in the middle space of 10 empty spaces.Within minutes you have someone parked right beside you.Grrrrrrrrrrrrr Annie

people who sit and watch the lights change and then decide to put there car in gear etc and by the time they have gone the lights have changed again,

i also put my windscreen washer on when they drive to close, he he he

you forget andie
they ave to take their bleepin handbrake off

I keep fairly calm when I'm behind the wheel, apart from the odd sarcastic "thankyou so much for indicating (not) that's really helpful"

but as a pedestrian I get really cross, especially negotiating 4 young children over a school crossing when nobody wants to stop for us, waving me free arm in the air (other one holding a small hand or clutching a pushchair) saying (again sarcastically, I really must stop it) "Thankyou, thankyou so much for your consideration." Especially when it's raining. And we're late. And 2 of the 3 under 4's are trying to walk backwards ... ... Oh no the rage is coming - aaaaaaaaaahhhhh !!

ohi know that feeling broggy like they have to get somewhere so urgent tho your getting peed wet thru,

i always try to give way if i see someone walking with kids or struggling,

but they look at you thesse discurtious drivers like why are you out in the rain then
argh

i have a hand gesture of course always with a smile and make sure they can see what i am saying at the same time. thought i was the only one who gets so wound up behind the wheel.lol

No cos I dont drive

but I do get pedestrian rage does that count? lol

yeh jax
that counts

I swear a great deal at other motorist. But in this town everyone knows everyone so you have to becareful with the gestures.

Carrie I'm right with you on that one ... lol

oh I am terrible. I shout at the world, am convinced I am the only person in the area who has ever had a lesson/glanced at the highway code, let alone got a driving licence!

I hate ...

1. those who don't indicate when turning, pulling out, changing lane, leaving a roundabout - DO THEY THINK I HAVE A ********* CRYSTAL BALL??!!
2. people driving up my exhaust pipe - I wanna get a big light up sign for the back of my car saying BACK OFF !!!!
3. those who drive through red lights GRRRRRRRR
4. cyclists who think the laws of the road don't apply to them
5. pedestrians who amble out in front of my car forcing me to screech to a halt
6. people who drive at 20 mph in a 30 zone
7. people who indicate and then don't turn it off
8. people who think having their hazards on means they can stop in the middle of the road
9. kids not belted in - why have kids if you couldn't care less if they live or die in an accident?
10. people who are on the inside of a roundabout then suddenly cut across in front of you to get to their exit - AARRGGHH !!! BEEEEEEEP !!!!


* pauses to draw breath *

pmsl - I feel sooo much better for that!!

the third lane is actually the overtaking lane not the middle lane

well that was the answer when i took my theory test anyway

oh forgot one lol

people who don't acknowledge the fact that you have courteously pulled in or waited so they can pass - I thank them sarcastically.


of course if any of these got out and approached me I would be off so fast I'd be on every speed camera for miles pmsl

Maz. xx

Yes Maz I think you can safely say you have experienced road rage ... wmsl

I know Julie Ann - and I always think I wish I could be stood there waiting to cross when I drove up to the crossing cos I'd always stop and wait, and give a nice friendly smile to boot.

Similarly I wish I would meet myself on a blind bend (becuase I'd be careful to be on MY side of the road (how novel))
or be the one passing, no not passing, stopping & waiting when I'm trying to pull out onto a busy road ... ...

what a shame we don't all live in the same neighbourhood or we could all be courteous and lovely to each other.
