Wondering how many people have some rage behind the wheel or if you genuinely keep it pretty cool and level headed when people do something to piss you off on the roads.

Really depends on my mood at the time and what's done. Some days I let everything go, some days piss me off beyond belief. Never get into physical altercations though.

I'm a big fan of the law and I only get road rage when I see someone purposely break the law.

Having no 4th gear has really taught me to relax about a lot of stupidity on the roads with 2 minor exceptions:
1.) If you have no tail lights and are excessively break happy expect to be in one of my mirrors real quick
2.) If you jumped into the on ramp/ending lane/emergency lane to bypass gridlock, don't expect me to let you in.




As a side-note why does everyone need to slam their breaks damn near to the point of lockup to mere into moving traffic?
That sh*t is beyond retarded but I always give someone merging more than enough room because, lets face it, almost everybody does it these days. Should be a capital crime imho.

I do. I'm brought to the point of nearly blowing up by the stupid traffic planners in Las Vegas. The signals here are timed to control traffic, not expedite it. They are big fans of "traffic calming". The problem is that as they slow the flow of traffic to "calm" it, the infuriate the drivers to the point where the slightest thing sets people off. Their solution... more control. Idiots. If anyone has any questions about the stupidity of Vegas drivers... my 350Z was hit 3 times in the first 3,000 miles and my Mustang has been hit 4 times in 15,000 miles. None my fault.

I'm constantly on the move for work from place to place, so yea i get some severe rage.

Being on the road that often really brings out some of ny's finer drivers, like the old ones who wait till rush hours over so they can do 25mph the whole way to their destination. I travel in a silverado 2500 diesel, i just want to run people over some days, including the flag lady at the construction zone who lets everyone go though but me in turn. This has happened 3 times now.

Once im done with work and back in the tib, she keeps me pretty level headed. At work time is money
