I am bad about brake checking, not hard, just enough to get my point across.

I have had several scary road rage incidents one that involved me in a physical altercation with a motorcyclist in my driveway which I am still confused as to why the guy was pissed. Either way the frequency of these incidents caused me to do a rare thing and look inward as to what about my behavior was causing me to experience these things since my wife nor anyone else I know ever describes these type of experiences. I have decided while I am right most of the time if I just slow down some and quit being so impatient and more understanding of american road etiquette. I have excepted that it is common to park in the left lane and all my tailgating efforts only serve to piss people off so why bother I am ontime as it is whereas it used to make me mad and I would drive in a way to antogonize these asses I have since come to the conclusion that what we do on the road is deadly serious and I have more to live for than getting to work five minutes early so I drive different than I used to.....BTW brake checkers burn in hell I hate you motherfuckers still.....

I agree. I had some passengers in my car and one girl said my driving sucked. I asked why and she said, "because you're always changing lanes back and forth. Just pick one and stay in it." I informed her that the proper procedure is to stay in the right lane unless passing someone. Her response, "that's stupid." I hate it when someone is moving slowly in the left-hand lane and I have to pass on the right. Drives me up the wall.

Well said. Thats something I always try and stress to my students. On a bike, you really need to check your ego at the door.

No matter who is right, in a situation where it's an auto vs a motorcycle, the auto will always win.

I hate left laners.

I hate when mofos don't use their turnsignals.

I hate when people cut me off.

I hate when people pull out in front of me and cause me to hit my brakes.

I hate when people drive under the speedlimit and there are NO conditions to warrant this.

I have been involved in road rage incidents BUT am trying to be more patient and just accept the fact that there are morons driving on the street.

Bottom line...roadrage...NO it's not worth it...I'm trying to do better at avoiding it and this is a good thread.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who ride your ass in the left lane when you got traffic in front of you. It's like hello dipshit, I can't go anywhere, fuck off.
