What is with these ROAD RAGE people?

Why are people such angry drivers and are you one of them?

I met the “Road Rage Man of The Year” today. You know how people drive across parking lots instead of in the lanes like they are supposed to? Well, I was in the LANE driving like I’m SUPPOSED to and this guy was flying through the parking lot across all the lanes. I slowed down once I saw him because I’m a cautious driver and he sort of slowed down so I wasn’t sure if he was going to go though the lanes or not. He kept coming at me, so I honked at him and put my hands up in the air as if to say, “What are you doing?” WELL, this guy SLAMMED on his breaks and stopped right in front of my car and just started screaming at me. I, like any normal person, got angry at him for yelling at me when he’s the one that was driving illegally. Then he got even angrier and I just drove around him because those people are insane. I had never witnessed someone that angry before and it was very scary. He's the type that would shoot you!

For the insane that think I'm in the wrong and I'm the one who started it, if I hadn't honked my horn, he would have hit my car. If you saw someone driving straight for your car, would you just sit there and do NOTHING?! Most people in his situation would say sorry and pretend like they are idiots. That's what I do if I make a mistake. I don't scream at the other person who has done nothing wrong but drove defensively.

Sometimes people get pissed off when other people are driving like butt heads. Others need a course in anger management.

Okay, I'll admit I curse at people, but I'm a pretty safe driver. That guy should freaking have his license revoked... eeks.

You are wrong, There are laws in driving in the parking lot silly!
Lanes are created for driving, parking spaces are for parking, therefore he was in the wrong and was creating a situation that could have hurt somebody. Obviously he didnt nkow he was wrong.
I would have probably yelled what the hell are you doing, but when you initiate stuff like that, you do invite a kooks response.
Too bad[people can get away with bs like that....

People today don't have a morals or values.
People think the faster they drive, the more time they save, and this is false.

sounds like you're both in the wrong but i see what you mean, he woulda hit u, and i'd be mad too. i agree if u had not have honked, he might would have hit u. but u have to be careful, nowadays, if u honk, they could get out and shoot u or something, and u wouldn't want that. just be careful.


sweetkas_69
GIRL, I would have done the same thing but I would have put some cursing in there too. But let me remind you, IT WAS A MAN!!!!


cassicad75
I totally agree! Why do the people who drive like maniacs act like the sane drivers are the ones in the wrong? Wherever they are rushing to, you'd think that they'd want to get there without a ticket or especially an accident.

yeah i met another candidate for road rage man of the year 2006 last night, i was in a parking lot, and this dude was reversing out of a park and didnt see me, and he was gonna back straight into the side of my car so i beeped, and he straight up hopped out walked over to my car and banged on my window and was like 'u wanna fight about it??' ha!! told him to get fuked and gapped it, he couldnt follow me cos he got stuck behind someone else

The very reason you should not even raise your arms, as if to say "What are you doing." Sad to say, we must ignore those Morons. They are intimidators and are mentally deranged. Let the law of averages get them. Several tickets and no driver's license will cool their heels. Glad you didn't get into a more serious situation.


U Know Me
Some people just like to drive fast or, he could have had some place to go in a hury.

i see what you mean and yeah, he was driving illegally but you are the one with road rage. You shouldn't have blown your horn and put your hands up in the air. The guy that was driving through the parking lot does not have road rage. You started it. I am not trying to be mean. People are mean now a days. You never know what they might do if you blow at them. I have seen where people blow their horns at people, then the other guy gets out and shoots the one blowing the horn. I know how mad you are. Yes, i hate it terribly when people drive like that. But you can't blow the horn at them because that means you are the one with road rage. There are some mean people out there that might do something to ya if you blow at them or give them the bird or something

You may not like this answer but you did ask the question.
It sounds like you started it he was just driving along minding his own business in a carpark where there are usually no road rules anyway (not that anyone knows about or follows) and you started honking the poor fellow and threw your arms up etc.
Road Rage takes TWO people and the other one is always wrong.
Remember you did ask.

I get what you mean and I think you're in the right because if you don't honk he could have hit you. I had someone girl call me a stupid B** and say that I made her almost hit me when I had the right of way on a green light and she was making a left so she was supposed to wait for me to turn first. Than my passenger called her the same thing and she went ballistic and tried to hit my car by turning into my line so I honked at her like what are you doing. Then she chased me down the street and I thought she was going to run into the back of my car. She even followed me when I turned trying to curse me out but I just u turned and tried to leave. I think that if i see her next time i'll write her license plate in case she tries to car chase me again. People these days are crazy just crazy!!!
