Road Rage Poll

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Poll question: Road Rage Poll

If I get cut off or suffer some other indignity on the roads, I:

[Extend a Hand]

1. I look for their W04 sticker

and try to make sure they get a chance to see my bumperstickers. ;)

[Seabiscuit]

12. I do the same. Then I shoot their tires out.

:)

[Race4Peace]

2. Bumper shoving. lots of it.

:evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

6. It's a good thing we've never encountered each other on a highway.

I would drive you batshit.

:D

[Race4Peace]

10. yea, you'd probably get away

the clutch is slipping these days.

[JohnKleeb]

3. Shout obscenties

Funny you ask this. It happened today to me and my friend on our way to the campus.

4. Learned to drive in Boston. Now drive in SoCal. #4

Sometimes you cant take the asshole out of the boy.

[Maddy McCall]

5. When someone tailgates me, I "granny drive" or I jam my brakes.

If I'm on a two-lane highway, I'll slow down just enough so that they can't pass, and if I need to turn off, I do it at a granny's pace--sloooowly, brake, sloooowly, brake, slooowly--so that the whole turn takes about 30 seconds. If they ride my bumper, I jam on my brakes and scare the shit out of them.

If I'm on a four-lane highway and if I'm already doing 80 in the left lane and some asshole comes up behind me doing 95 and brightens his lights and rides my bumper, I speed up enough to get beside a car in the right lane, and then I maintain just enough speed to keep the asshole behind me from passing...and then, again, I do the brake-slam thing to scare the shit outta him (or of course, her)if he's riding my bumper.

I don't play well with aggressive drivers.

(And I never do any of this if MMjr's in the car.)

7. I have engaged in road rage.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. There was a time I would've gone after 'em

But I'm much better now. :crazy:

[Swamp Rat]

9. All of you just get the fuck outta my way!

psych! :D

[leftofthedial]

11. after I finish with them

and their immediate family, I find their other relatives

and their friends


seriously, life is way too short to let idiots get under your skin.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Depends upon my mood

If I am feeling serene and happy with the world, I just let it go. If I am mildly annoyed, I make comments about it. If I am feeling combative, I pass them and cut them off myself.

14. When I was younger:

I can remember getting out of my car at a traffic light to yell at the guy in front of me for cutting me off at 7:30 in the morning.
I loved my lil 73 Triumph Spitfire!

I wouldn't do that today.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. Yes, since half the folks are driving an SUV or truck these days, they'd

crunch ya if you were in a Spitfire or little Miata. I used to love those Spitfires when I was in high school. Liked the TR7 also, although it seems SO 70's now.

18. Back then this was my favorite toy:

I still have one small convertible :shrug: some things never change.

:hi:

[skygazer]

16. Well, first I range up next to them

Then I put the car on auto-pilot, climb out the window and fling myself onto their hood. I punch out their windshield, reach in, grab the driver by the throat and drag him/her out onto the hood with me. Then I let them hang down inches from the road which is now flashing by at about 100 mph because somehow the vehicle has kept going through all this. I wait for them to cry, beg and plead for their life and then I grin and drop them, turning them into a mangled mess of flesh on the pavement.

I used to be really bad but I've gotten much better with therapy. O8)

[Dukkha]

17. i wear these

steel gauntlets then I just walk up and punch through their window.
