Default Road ragers.

Well my car almost got run over by a crazy red p plater girl today.
She was in a suzuki vitara with a ridiculously oversized bullbar on the front.

i was doing nothing wrong, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
she was around 5cm from my bumper bar and shouting out ''get out of my way of ill run you over you stupid Cun7''

then i had to give way to someone at a round about, and what better opportunity for her to give me the s some more, she would leave it in drive and get on and off the brake, so her car was sorta nudging towards my bumper.

Anyhoo i got her number plate, general vehicle description and a description of her (she was one ugly ) and rung the local police station with it, they are pretty tough on this sorta and i hope she gets nailed with something,
the police got my details aswell and will be ringing me back soon hopefully.

Anyone else got any stories???

Female drivers - says everything.

I have many many stories on this, I am sure I could write a 600 page book on them, there are just to many idiots out on the road these days.

I got road rage the other day. I was driving in pouring rain, in the slow lane on the motorway, ready to turn off at my exit. There was a motorbike on my right, just starting to overtake me. A camry, no lights (it was raining) and no blinker pulls out from the edge of the motorway, straight in front of me. If I would have tried to slow down and brake, I would have went up there @55. I had to swerve right, nearly taking out the moto, who I think saw what was going on luckily. I gave the older couple in the camry a nice big horn blast and the bird plus a couple of expletives.

I got a little revenge today. Wouldn't call it road rage, more returning service.

Roadworks on one of our major roads, normally 100, but cut too 60 for about 5 k's. So I'm doing 60 and theres cars flying past me doing 100. Get to the start of the area which is not quite finished and theres loose gravel on the surface. So I slow back below 60 to keep the stones gong over the car behind me. Some tool in a brand new Sirion decided to send gravel over my car and with the window down, into the cabin as well. I can't take anymore, so I caught up behind the peson changed lanes and over took and back again spraying a healthy dose of gravel all ove their car. After they backed off, I slowed back to 60 and continued on my way.

I have a policy whereby if I get tailgated, I slow down to 20kph below the limit. So, if its a 60 zone, I'll go 40. I dont really care if they start hurling abuse at me when that happens though because the way I look at it...

If you're gonna be that close to me, I need plenty of space up front to slow down so you dont put your head in my ИИИИ.

Another trick I like is If I see them ducking and weaving through the traffic in a rice burner, I'll take my lane and stay beside the car in the next lane. Up to the speed limit only. I only ever do this from the left lane. Got a P Plater in a 2 door BMW once. Big rims, lowered with the standard girlfriend with big hair. He was making rude gestures to me too. :

Not really road rage. But the other night while I was out cruiseing. Had some twats pull up next to me at the lights in a N/A VL. Saying did my mum know I was out in her car and Shouldn't I be in bed etc. Light go green and I take off normally and some strange reason they sit there (maybe stalled lol) get up futher up the road and I see em come flying up behind me just as I'm coming to a very sharp U-turn corner (not a hairpin its a divided road with cross roads so you can go around in circles). Anyways I match the revs on the down shift to second (still doing 60k's) left foot brake, turn and accel. Very little tyre noise and very smooth. I look behind to see em try and do the same but slower and they still get all crossed up and end up being about 100meters behind me when they were about 10meters behind be before the turn. Next set of lights they wont even look at me :P

I've done that too. After a uni exam, me and two mates were driving down a 3 lane highway. We were ahead of the pack. Then we spot this rice WRX (or could have been an RX with a bodykit) weaving through the traffic. Me and my mates took up all 3 lanes and matched speeds. Then one of us would go alittle faster to get half a body in front then slow down and form the line again. He was flashing his lights, hurling abuse, hand gestures. We let him go at the next lights though. lol
