Default Road Rage

Another road rage incident, in this one the truckies came off second best. The car was apparently doing the wrong thing and it got out of hand.

Real intelligent individual there. People lose all sense of thought when it comes to their cars and driving

Nowadays I make no eye contact with other drivers, I click down the central lock when I get in the car, and try not to **** anyone off on the road. Call me a whimp if you will.....

Its not a very common event up here in beautiful Coffs so it makes the front page of the local paper when it does happen. I just hope they get caught before there is another victim of their crap.

i was involved in a road rage incident last week in which the other driver instigated, and I retaliated promptly, then he abused me at the lights, for something he started.
I admit that I have road rage issues :eclipsee_ , but people tell me that the first step is admitting that you have a problem!
But I don't go around bashing people

I remember a few years ago this bloke pulled out in front of me, I jammed my brakes on to avoid him then gave him the horn. He promptly jammed his brakes on and I had to stop hard to miss him, I drove around him and stopped, he stopped to and got out and as he approached my car I jumped out and when he realised I was 6' 5 and a fair bit bigger than him he scurried back to his car and took off real quick.
