I live in New York. The capital of impatient and ignorant drivers. So you can imagine how much stress I go under trying to commute to work daily.

Don't you just hate it when the light turns green and if you don't move for one damn second the driver behind you starts honking like crazy?

I used to just suck it all up, but today when I was at the highway intersection waiting for the other cars to pass before I went this driver behind me starts honking repeatedly. What the hell do you want me to do? Jump on the gas pedal and ram into someone else's car? Idiot.

Oh, and these two stupid dudes gave me a smirking glare when I pulled over but not completely so that my car kind of jutted out of the lane a little bit. LOL.

Nowadays, when drivers bleep at me, I bleep right back hahaa.

Road rage, anybody?

Do you remember the first time when you felt alive?

do what i usually do.... do somthing so that it shows you know they are honking at you (like look back, hand movements, etc...) then just park there and let them wait for another light

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

^tailgating isnt that big of a deal...
well in the cities people seem to not care at all..(at least from my experiences)
but in small towns...man...they take the time to flip you off and wait for an opportunity to yell at you.
i love how people try to say something through their window directed towards you when both your windows and theirs arent even open blink.gif

You tend to develop a habit of tailgating when driving a car when you're used to riding on a motorcycle. Then you think...why aren't the cars splitting lanes?!

I'm sure those guys who excessively honk at lights are jerks, but being a jerk back makes a ton of other people more miserable. Just drive on as usual and go on with your life.

^ right.

road rage fuels more road rage. looks like you got a case of it yourself if you do reciprocate the same way. considering it's ny and the type of gridlocked traffic nyc is known for, i wouldn't be too surprised if people are very antsy to say the least.

Definitely know how you feel. Damn those ignorant drivers. They act like they got to get to somewhere in a rush, and if not, they're gonna die. I experienced that time to time, but heck I don't care. I use to get so freaking nervous when somebody beeps at me from behind because I was either driving safetly or didn't instantly react to the freaking light just turning green. Now if they honk at me, I just roll down the window and give them the finger biggrin.gif . Heck,those ignorant people, if you're really in such a hurry, next time don't drive a car, take a jet, you won't encounter traffic that way.

no need for swearing at them.

just shake your head and give them a thumbs down.

or recently, i just printed out on paper in large black letters "NICE MOVE" and just hold it up for them to see.

fortunately people in australia mind their own business.
they walk/drive past, look and just leave.
there would be a 1 out of 100 that would call police etc.
