Anyone been a victim of road rage??

Postby Gleno » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:54 pm

Was down warwick farm way today and was on a side street and just because i stopped on a amber light i copped some verbal abuse from someone in a toyota ute,pointing and yelling at me etc.

We were driving slowly at the time so it wasnt because he had the hit the brakes or anything like that,but i couldnt turn right onto the main road because i would of blocked the intersection on the Hume hwy so i stopped. He was obviously upset about missing out on getting the green light.
Being a club member and bearing club cj stickers all over the windows i thought better biting back even though i know im in the right i will stand my ground no matter who it is.

So i kept my cool which i think its the best thing to do and urge anyone that gets into a situation like that just to walk away and not make the situation worse,as you dont know what people are carrying on them these days.

Memories the number plates, find out where he resides and call for action after hours. hahaha j/k

I live around fairfield/liverpool area as well. 90% of drivers there are intolerable. Especially asians. No racist remark there cause im asian too but older asians seriously cant drive nor know the rules of the road.

Edit: Forgot to mention the worst bit. Even though your in the right, they still give you angry gestures and such. E.g A dude reversed into my girls car and said it was her fault. On a straight road. When there was traffic. And my girls car was stationary.

Only small things like people getting inpatient at a give way, I can't go coz there is too much taffic oncoming and I'm not gonna gun it and hope someone doesn't run up the back of me, if I had an evo I would gun it more often, they can do 0-100 in 4 or something seconds right..?

Just pull a soft gun up between the front seats and cock it and make sure he can see it through your back window - That will shut him up real quick :D

Knowing the rules and following them are two different things.

I've found that most commercial drivers are very impatient. On the path I take to work in Bankstown, there are a couple of Hiace drivers who will run red lights, cut off other people and speed.

I know at the time, you feel really worked up and upset, but it really isn't worth it to take it into your own hands. It's best to drive along and forget about it. Better that than serious injuries and criminal records.
