frickin crazy ey?

[X-R-Cist]

thats just horrible.

i must admit i do get a bit of road rage. and the most ive ever done was kick a door in.

But then again i ride a motorbike and half the time people dont see me or dont care, and it shits me that much that they deserve a door kicked in... but what happened there was taking it too far

[vileliquid1026]

I have terrible road rage :\

[Transient]

That story makes me so angry!

[Peenyuh]

The thing I've noticed living in Cal is that nobody here feels anyone else has any right to courtesy. There are no manners. If you are getting on the freeway, cars will speed up to block you. If you are making a left turn, cars will block you. To change lanes, you either have to speed up outragesly or slow down and block traffic behind you. When you let someone into traffic in front of you, they watch you like yer gonna change yer mind and yell "hah! Tricked you, sucker!"

I don't think it's a fixable issue.

[GONNAFISTYA]

What a waste.

^^^ come on GKY, it isn't like somebody threw out half of a cake.


Driving is serious business.

[GONNAFISTYA]

If someone threw out half a cake I'd have added:

[Peenyuh]

What kinda cake are we talkin about here?

ON TOPIC: Road rage = bad.

people should be conscious to watch out for people on motorcycles, but why blame them if they don't see you? you're the one who's choosing to drive a motorcycle.

I drive a bike, and it also gets me mad when no one sees me. Ever since I started riding, I started to develop a mindset where my bike is literally invisible, and anyone who actaully "see's" me is just waiting for the car behind me to go by.

Seriously though, sometimes it looks like they're staring right at me and still proceed to pull out.

[Foo]

Ride like you're invisible.

An approach that's never failed me.

[vesp]

road rage cunts need to be rammed off the road! bastards!

...

[Nightshade]

I guess that'll teach that guy not to cut people off.

[Nightshade]

And what exactly the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[vileliquid1026]

I was wondering the same thing. The NRA has nothing do do with anything, fucktard

[axbaby]

i disagree

I see (push) bike riders all the time, mostly when I'm stuck being them because they're doing 10 miles per hour and holding half the traffic back. Pedal faster

God, I hope you don't have road rage...

Oh... wait... I live in Canada.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Oh... wait... I live in Canada.

Now that you mentioned it, why does your ETQW profile show you as American?

Mine stills shows me from Germany.

[obsidian]

No idea. It looks it up by IP I guess and it thinks I'm an American.

Though, don't all Americans secretly wish they were really Canadians? I think so. Cuz Canadians own and they know it.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Hmmm. I doubt my current ISP is telling the game I'm connected in Germany. Perhaps in my case it's total number of hours played in a region or some shit?

Dunno...it's gay.

Fisted.

Now that you mention that Foo, my Mum taught me to drive about 35 years ago here in Oz.

One thing I always remember, and I'll pass on here now were here words of wisdom..... Treat everyone else on the road out there as though they were stark raving mad and you might survive.....

......and yes being both motor and push bike rider for many years, the rule is, look left, look right, look bike.

The world is a different place now for sure, and yes I have been a victim of road rage (gave some arse my middle finger (salute) one day, he nearly killed me and the missus for it)

Kinda of glad gun ownership here was basically outlawed a few years back but I miss my weapons sometimes

IT SEES RIGHT THROUGH YOUR FAKE PASSPORT
