    I am pretty relaxed, I make sure I am never in a hurry. Too many people are in a hurry to get nowhere.

    I also let people in who have been sitting and waiting for an opening in traffic.

    I do hate driving downtown because of the university students and construction. They are both all over the place. And there is nowhere to park anyway.

    No... Not worth it, I do get a little pissed off at times.. But I try to keep in mind that I'm driving around in an over three thousand pound bullet, essentially.

    I dont swear hardly at all in real life ...but 10% of the ones that do come out are when I smash my fingers....and the other 90% is when I'm driving.

    Not saying its a great thing, but I am a vision of the New York driver.
    I speed excessively, cut people off, tailgate, and run lights when possible :x

    I am not actually angry when I do, but I express excess energy through artificial road rage.

    well no because i don`t drive. but i can get a little nervous after sitting in the bus and it have not moved for 20 min. for instance. when things like that happen i usualy ask the driver to let me get off and i proceed walking.

    I get mad how everybody doesn't go faster then the speed limit then i'm stuck behind them wasting my gas money lol. Sometimes if i tailgate as close as i can they will pull over but yeah that pisses me off the most.

    nah, but if I get the feeling come on I will usually turn up the music or take a rip.
    my younger days are a different story altogether, though. I've been in more than one fights on the side of the road lol

    When I’m driving and I have a passenger (i.e. girlfriend, family member…etc.) I’ve never experienced road rage :confused:

    But when I’m driving alone and someone cuts me off or some grandma up ahead is pulling 10 in a 35 mph zone I could chew copper plating and spit out gold :eek:

    I tried to drive while I was having a particulary bad day once, and almost caused a few accidents. Almost rammed into this one cars back-end while I was going to turn into a parking lot.

    If I see that someone is tailgating, I brake for them.

    I rarely use my horn. I have at a set of traffic lights before, because this geezer checking his reflection in the mirror wasn't going on the green light.

    Another time I was overtaking these two cars in an overtaking lane, and the bloke beside me starts to indicate he's going to come out just as I'm about to pass him. He would have probably rammed into my side if I hadn't used the horn there.

    Apparently I drive too slow through 60 kilometer zone's, but hey, if my passenger wants to pay for my speeding fine I'm okay with that.

    If someone's driving towards me with their headlights on full beam I'll high beam them right back.

    Usually if a driver annoy's me I'll throw my hands in the air and pull faces at them, but other than that I really am not that bad.

    Haha I'm a taxi driver in the town in Australia containing some of the most inept drivers in the world. I'm not usually a psycho but I certainly get pissed off at times. When people piss me off I do everything I can to make their life hell.

    No, I don't. If someone rides me, I get mad. I usually pull a speeding ticket out and wave it out my window, not only to get them off my ass, but to warn them that they are giving tickets like mad these days in NV.
    Being in the car with someone who has road rage scares me. It's like I feel all of their negative emotion penetrate meme and it makes me feel very anxious. I take a xanax prior to going with anyone who is an angry driver or insist on driving.
