LOL, mahoosive! I love it.
Everyone is mahoosive when you are built like me, a ****ing racing snake.
As the saying goes, could not fight me way outta paper bag ffs.
So road rage is a big no no. Silent finger gestures, now thats a different matter!

 

LOL nah in this case I am a paltry 5'8" and three quarters. The guy who was became intimate with his car foor was about 6'3" in his fiftys with a beard and beer gut... I didnt mean he was a beefcake or anything

"built like a racing snake" quality

 

best one for me was when a guy in a brand new range rover sitting right up my **** in a 30 limit, he kept flashing me to go faster so instead I slowed down as I was approching my parants drive way I indicated and the prat went to overtake me so I just turned in on him, well what he didn't call me, and what he wasn't going to do to me, I just turned round and said well you won't do it from sitting there will you, what I didn't notice was my dad behind a massive tree with a massive shovel in his hands, my dear old dad calmly said get out of that ******* car mate and I'll put this shovel through your head and not only that you drive up and down this road like a maniac, also tell that ugly wife of yours to slow down too cos shes just as bad as you, well I nearly wet myself laughing, and the range rover disappered in the dust.
Cheers

Had it bad only once,was driving along a one way system and the guy in front decided he didnt want to take the right exit and swerved back in cutting me up and forced me into the kerb.
I had my heavily pregnant wife in the car at the time and saw red so when we stopped at the red lights 200 yards further down i jumped out and proceded to knock on his window but he ignored me so unfortunately this made me worse and i caved his drivers door in with my knee,the bloke never murmered and sped off as soon as the lights changed!
Not proud of what i did but it brings home what they say about road rage,when it kicks in you cant stop it,im known for my placid side normally and rather talk my way out of trouble rather than fists first

 

I think the fact that you had your pregnant misses with you gives you more than a right to be annoyed!

 

Very true m8
My brother and sister in law where in the back and when i got back in the car,well there faces said it all!
The wifes sister just sat there and said "bloody hell paul i didnt think you where like that" lol
And as a rule i aint

 

Hi there,

Try driving in Portugal! Even the calmest ppl go insane.

This has to be the worst country in the world to drive in, it is full of muppets. Another thing too, ppl do not respect Scoobys here, they just think you are some **** trying to show off.

Worst of all they try to race you ( ) but then 90 % of the time they lose and then get real pissed off! There can be some serious rage there sometimes! I sometimes do it to just **** them off, rather than be a good driver and act calm, because it can give me satisfaction to see the look on their faces when a "cheap" car pwns their overly expensive trolley!

Anyway the problem is, in this country men (and now women even more) think that they a sort of Rambo/Chuck Norris/Colin McRae combo type driver, which of course they mostly are not (I'm not saying I am! it is just that this cars goes......).

They seem to think that in a car they are disconnected from reality.....and then they crash and learn otherwise, or sometimes they figure out that not obeying the STOP sign (for the 100,000th time! ) they can get another idiot (me) cutting them off and trying to force feed them the manual on how to drive correctly down their throat..........

Yes I am guilty of being part of road rage but it has only occured twice in 10 years of driving........won't anymore due to the obvious reasons that nowadays you have be careful. As far as the "racing" goes, now only in a straight line, it is safer for the trees!

p.s. thanks to the last scene, I no longer can use some shops near where I live, was a wee bit too "verbal".

I can well believe Portugese people drive like *****! My drug-dealing neighbours are Portugese and they and their m8's drive round this street like its some some of race track in their pissy little honda CRX's and Tipo's like they have a quick car or something. Their allocated parking space is directly outside our patio doors and they would fly up with their lights on and brake at the last possible moment.
Somehow though their space is currently occupied by a clapped out Rover which has been sitting there for at least a year and the tax ran out last December, although the owners of these flats have a strict policy on taxed vehicles and every month at least one vehicle is taken away by the local breakers.
The Girl next door was recently in the local paper for Hit and Run. She went the wrong way up a slip road on the A23, knocked over a motorcyclist and then left the scene. She had no tax, No insurance, the car had no MOT and she wasn't the owner of the car. Her penalty for this.....? £1000 fine.

 

Hi again,

Speaking against 'us' nationally I can vouch for, but out of the country I cannot.

Unfortunately many Immigrants drive quite badly, they spend most of the year
saving up for the holidays then pick the car 2-3 times a year and then drive down for the holidays.......of ocurse they drive badly here too!!

I think everyone has bad driving habits one way or another, I just think ppl should be aware of what they are doing and why. They should also know the law!.

It is a shame that we get a bad rap in the UK for some stupid muppets that we don't want here either.

Hope it sorts itself out!

Thks

 

Have had a few 'road rage' incidents.

The two that stick in my mind the most have involved women strangly - I do actually find women can be particuarly vile in such situations.

With blokes there is always the threat of physical violence - which often makes you think twice about what your doing, or atleast whether it is really warranted. Some women however (foolishly I'd say) seem to assume that because they are 'women' they can abuse blokes as much as they like because there is not that immediate threat of physical violence, as men don't hit women do they.

Most recent road rage incident for me - pulled onto M25 flatout in 4th and straight into fast lane... perfectly safe but fast (impressive I'd say). About 2-3 minutes later a woman pulls along side and starts screaming her head off at me, all sorts of guestering and then pulls in front and continues... can only think this was because of how I pulled onto the M25 - definately not warranted.

I hate to admit it, but I saw red... this reaction was purely a woman venting at me for some unknown reason - never had this level of insult from another bloke. Felt absolutely disgusted but helpless to do anything to really show this person the error of their ways... really was quite shocking as completely unexpected.
