One time some kid made an asocial move and I was so pissed off I actually caught up with him and told him to learn traffic rules or stay of the road.
Oh well, people have called me names too. Bicycle traffic in the Netherlands can get crazy.

I'll bet bicyclists curse motorists even more so.... be careful out there!

I was out there in July, and I didnt have a problem. I just went with the theory stay the hell outta the way.

I *hate* driving. And I'm a total road-rager. I tend to get very frustrated in traffic, which is always bad in the Boston area, and it brings out the worst in me. Especially when people cut me off or beep at me (beep at me and I'm likely to beep at you right back and roll down my window to yell and flip you the turkey). Or those people who put their blinkers on and don't turn for another ten fecking blocks. I tried substituting cuss words for better ones (for example: "bless you" instead of "f*ck you"), but it just stopped working for me after so long. So, all in all, I loathe driving.

Complete road rager here! When the light turns green, F*CKING GOOOOOO!!!!
Hear that horn? That's me!!! Put down your cell phone, and get the hell out of the way!!!!!!! And if you're too old to drive the speed limit, stay at home!

Don't even get me started on people who talk on their cell phones while driving. I have half a mind to throw my beverage at them most of the time.

And most of the time I get cut off..........drive up beside them.........sure enough..........22yo girl, with her cell phone firmly implanted to the side of her face. I do see more girls doing this than guys.

I think road rage is so uncool. People look so silly when they get all worked up. Being in LA, I have heard and seen some good stuff though that is really funny...except when it ends in violence.

LA has gotten out of hand...a little road rage and then bang you're dead.

Nah...I keep it cool. I hate driving anyway...but then things are worse when I'm biking.

It's general consensus here that bicyclists drive far more dangerously than motorists, and it's TRUE

I think I'm pretty good, I'm one of the few idiots left who'll still indicate direction, whereas most cyclists just go wherever they please. All the same I've had a couple of near accidents anyway.

Typical bad driver mentality.

Ya know, that is so true. A long time ago...like at least 10 years, when i did the road rage crap (gave it up right after this incident)...Some woman was trying to make a left turn (no controlled intersection, but legal left turn) and she had to cross 2 lanes of oncoming traffic, so she blocked the left lane as she inched accross to make that left. I honked, I fingered, I roared. She just smiled and waved.
My friend and I laughed so hard, cause I really felt stupid. So since then, I just chill.

OMG! That made my day!

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOO ME! I have road rage so freakin bad!

Also...if you are going to TURN THEN TURN! Don't signal a damn mile before you turn...and slow down five minutes before you get there!!!!

If there is no passing around...I simply put on my signal and pass in a turning lane. If I get pulled my excuse is that I had every intent on turning, but realized it was the wrong turn!

If that doesn't work...the fact that my dad is a cop helps sometimes!
