Road rage...

You know what annoys the hell outta me? People who speed up when you try to overtake them. This guy in front of me this morning was doing about 63 in a 70 zone, and I was in a hurry, so I slipped into the left lane, sped up to 70 to slot in in front of him. As SOON as I get ahead of him and flick on my indicator, the bastard speeds up, then flashes his lights and toots his horn at me in anger as I still slip in in front of him.
Gee thanks for letting me know you’re there buddy! I almost didn’t notice what with being stuck behind you and deliberately overtaking you just now.
Sorry, needed to vent. I feel better now.

I had an altercation with some old dude on the weekend.
I was in the Right hand lane, in standard chocka block saturday traffic travelling 45 in a 70 zone.
I wanted to stop at the servo about 3 k's up the road, so i put my indicator on, and prepared to move across into the gap between the 2 cars in the left lane, when all of a sudden, the old wonker in his big black BMW 5 series decides to close the gap, just enough to stop me merging.
Anyway, i cant accelerate to try the car infront, and if i slowed down any furthur i would've stopped, so i left my indicator on, and moved across in my lane, so he can see my intentions to merge. By the time i got to squeeze in , i was right at the servo, and pulled straight ouot of his lane into the servo driveway, only to be followed in by the old bloke, who proceeded to abuse me with a hail of insults about "cutting him off" and "nearly causing an accident". He then read out my number plate as if he was going to do something about it!! 
Prick was just upset i ruined his power trip.
All this time his wife was sitting in the passenger seat with a look on her face like "my god, he's embarrasing me again"

well its an offence for him to be remaining in the right lane, but yes, you legally arent allowed to duck into the left lane and overtake 
rediculous.

If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come round you can take a piece of mine
And if all you've got to do today is hesitate,
Come here, you can leave it late with me.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be,
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday,
Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
You're losing your mind.
You, you've been racing through the best days
You, you've been racing through the best days.
Space age, road rage, fast lane,
And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come here, you can take a piece of mine.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
But you and I know,
We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage,
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and I know
We all live in the space age, you give me road rage,
Racing to the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
Losing your mind
There you go.

Yeah it is called 'undertaking'. Doesen't stop me doing it as it is the only way to get past the frickin grannies dawdling in the right lane because the right turn to their street is coming up in 5kms.
We generally don't have problems with people cutting each other off like that up here in Newcastle, maybe because the roads are less busy.

Actually you'll find its only illegal to overtake up the left on a freeway, and being a 70 zone the guy still has the right to be in the right hand lane.
Read L's book it is only illegal to sit in a right hand lane in a speed zone of 80 and above if you are not overtaking someone.

But the fact of the matter remains it's just common courtesy to keep left.

I am generally not a road rager but two things really annoy me, one ppl who stop in a merging lane on St Andrews road and Campbelltown road roundabout, no matter what they can go round as there is a fixed line stopping the ppl from turning right entering the lane.
Second is ppl that come flying out in front of you on a roundabout and then preceed to do 50 up the road in a 70 zone.
Speaking of road rage, go in a car with my sisters boyfriend he goes off. Quite funny some times.

I used to really arc up then realised it wasnt worth it
i'll yell sometimes but not to anyone, only to myself, and only when im the only one in the car... usually if im in a hurry somewhere and some douchebag decides to do 40km/h in a 70 zone

U must be really throwing that coke bottle with some steam to be leavin dents  spose it is a hyundai though.... Other day some stupid asian driver did probably the stupidest thing i have ever seen. I was driving along in the right lane heading towards a traffic light that was green and this dude was stationary in the left lane.... so i started braking thinking wtf is this dude doin ? then without any warning or indicator he just cuts accross my lane and trys to turn right ?!??! there was even a right turning lane and the arrow was red for turning..... Luckily the old gt4 brakes and abs stopped my car from damage I proceeded to drive up past him and yell abuse and beep my horn :D:D it helped

Wish I had bottles in my car I can piff at people that tick me off. Only bottle I have is a 5 litre bottle of coolant, which I think is a little overkill
What pisses me off the worse is people coming out from the sidestreet, doesnt brake, ignore the fact that you are on the main road doing 70 or 80 and merges straight into the right lane in front of you, then proceeds to do 50

I have a nice 4D maglite in the back seat if things get ugly 
One thing that shits me is people that just sit in the left lane waiting to merge onto the pacific highway. The bus lane ends just before the merge point, and there are rarely buses in it. Cars never travel in it. So the left lane is always free, yet people still wait until ALL the damn lanes are free before merging in! AARGH!
The car in red is the one I am talking about. I'm the car in blue  Usually theres a ton of cars lined up behind me also, it's a real chokepoint at peak hour.

yes but it is illegal to enter traffic unless lanes are clear so the guy waiting is actually in the right.

which is fine if it is 50 zone ... just fang past them .. that'll learn them ...
seriously, there are no winners out of road raging, no matter how big ur mag light or how many tools u keep in your car.
ppl have been killed in road rage incidents ... so its best to just avoic any conflict where u can, even if the other party caused it /started it / provoked you etc...

I'm with Ribfeast.
They do the same thing near my place turning left on Elizabeth drive at Reservoir road. They all want to get across so they can eventually turn right on Flowerdale. I'm pretty sure it says in the rules that ya have to turn into the very first lane but these pricks wait till the furthest away lane is clear. It'd be easier to go into the first lane and then move across up the road a bit.
Cheers, Greg.

When turning left or right at an intersection you can go into any lane you want, unlike on a roundabout where you must hold your lane thru and out of the corner than change afterwards.
Ppl that really shit me are the ones that straighten out roundabouts shit yeah i'm cool not a prob generally but it is when i'm sitting next to them, occasionally i ahve had to mount a roundabout to stop these noobs from side swiping me.

you mean the ones that when going through a roundabout on the left lane (say its a two lane roundabout) they just go straight through and cut across the right side lane?
yeah that pisses me off to no end as well

nope. unless of course there is mutliple ppl turning in the same direction ie three lanes turning right then you need to hold your lane, but just a single turning lane at an intersection you can enter any lane you choose.

well whether you are right or wrong, nothings stopping the idiot from pulling out in lane 1 and then once up to speed merging over into lane two or three as they please...
all they are doing is holding up traffic, and pissing people off...
and angry people are more likely to take risks, speed or make mistakes
so they are the catalyst for a possible accident, which could result in a death!!!111one
SO NEXT TIME YOURE SITTING THERE THINKING LA LA LA ILL WAIT UNTIL ALL THREE LANES ARE CLEAR, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE!!!11oneoneone

yeah.. he missed me by less than half a foot on my left side..
thank god for the MA70 brakes and running up the kerb a little on the island..
theres two types of road rage. rage provoked by silly little things.. and rage provoked by life threatening situations. if he banged me sideways i would have gone over the island and possibly into another oncoming car.
so in my opinion he deserved it.

Actually you'll find its only illegal to overtake up the left on a freeway, and being a 70 zone the guy still has the right to be in the right hand lane.
Read L's book it is only illegal to sit in a right hand lane in a speed zone of 80 and above if you are not overtaking someone.

Bit off topic for a moment, But just read the new demerit point scheme in the RTA, and it states that you lose 3 points for not keeping left on all multiple laned roads. Full stop.

This happened to a guy last friday nite.
He beeped at aguy who pulled out infront of him so at the lights the who pulled out in front got out of his WORK UTE and punch this poor bloke 3 times and kicked in his door.
The puncher didn't think he had his name and phone number on his door.
fucking wanker.
the same nite i was heading into town and was in the left lane.
then this barina trys to come into my lane without looking so i'm watching it get closer and close till i'm 100% sure he hasn't seen me and speed up so we don't collide.
I was shaken up a bit and did react wrongly but i pulled back into the left lane in front of this barina and slammed on my brakes, then slowed down to 60 waiting for them to over take me and then pulling into the right lane and jammed on my brakes then took off at more than the speed limit.
I pulled up at the traffic lights and didn't see then at all i think i scared them.
I was litterally shaking i don't know why but i couldn't even talk normally. I needed a big hug after that.

I was overtaking some 4wd the other day in my MaA61 and they tried to make me have a head on with another car.
I was going past them at about 130km/h (I had passed another car at the start of the overtaking lane and was trying to get the 4wd as well before the end of the lane as I had previously observed that they were travelling at the same speed as the car I had just passed <about 90 in a 100 zone>).
The overtaking lane was on a slight uphill going around a right hand sweeper so I was going around the outside of this 4WD and another car was coming towards me in the opposite direction. Anyway, as I drew next to the 4wd and was about to pass the car headed in the opp direction the 4WD made a sudden swerve or "jink" to scare me and (assumedly) cause me to have a head on, luckily I didn't hit either car and was able to round the 4WD before the end of the lane but I reckon I would have gone through a gap about 2 inches on either side.

Hatchet Harry beat a guy to death with a 12" dildo which happened to be the closest object with which he could beat on the guy!

U must be really throwing that coke bottle with some steam to be leavin dents spose it is a hyundai though.... Other day some stupid asian driver did probably the stupidest thing i have ever seen. I was driving along in the right lane heading towards a traffic light that was green and this dude was stationary in the left lane.... so i started braking thinking wtf is this dude doin ? then without any warning or indicator he just cuts accross my lane and trys to turn right ?!??! there was even a right turning lane and the arrow was red for turning..... Luckily the old gt4 brakes and abs stopped my car from damage I proceeded to drive up past him and yell abuse and beep my horn :D:D it helped

So were you in the middle lane which opens up into a right turning lane?
Or were you in the right lane which enables you to turn right?
I don't really get what you mean. You said he was stationary in the left lane so why did you brake? People would normally continue driving?
And you must've slowed down heaps if it was slow enough for a stationary car to cut infront of you in a 3-lane road?
I still don't get why you slowed down.. maybe you slowing down made him think this guy will let me through? Although it's still weird seeing as he didn't indicate.

nope. unless of course there is mutliple ppl turning in the same direction ie three lanes turning right then you need to hold your lane, but just a single turning lane at an intersection you can enter any lane you choose.
|
Yep, he's right.
Picture yourself in your car signalling left at an intersection. You can turn left, go straight or turn right.
So say there are 2 cars ahead of you. They do whatever and then you're the front car.
You're going to turn left. The light is green. When you turn left will there be any cars on the road going left when you turn onto it?
Nope, you're first. So you're free to pick any lane.
If there were two lanes and you were turning left and so was the guy on your right you'd have to stay in your lane or else you'd run into the guy on your right from the side.

I only braked a little bit like 60 to 50-55 because i assumed they might do somethin supid which they did But yeah it was middle lane which opened into a right turning lane. I only slowed down a bit because the situation looked dodgy.

i tried very hard not to rage on the weekend on the way to go karting, i got stuck behind a Volvo and then an xtrail who preceeded to drive at 60 kmph in a 100kmph zone and the xtrail even managed a gut wrenching 10kmph around a 25kmph sign posted bend ie capable of atleast doing 50 round it.
Almost every overtaking opportunity saw cars coming in the other direction but as soon as it was clear i passed with ease.

i know it was sad it was down hill too so i'd say if manual they had the clutch in. Oh and too top it off i had some bitch tailgating me as well and she was tailgating me even when i was doing 100-110 in the 100 zone yet wouldn't overtake when she had the opportunity befor and after i got past the xtrail.

nah she was just a retard in a mirage. And i was very tempted to brake test her, hehe tow bars are cool
|
brake test?
meh, the ultimate test to see if theyre paying attention is to just throw it down a gear and let the engine do the braking.
then you find who is paying attention and who is not.

i had an incident where i was at the lights with a dum shit lady next to me. i was in the left lane and a she was in the right lane. she was goin slow as shit and my lane was ending, i indicated to merge into her lane and i was deffinetly able to get in. as i started to pull in she starts to speed up. i figured fcuk it, ill let her hit me. insurance will pay me out and im happy with that . anyway i jus sliped in and continued to drive. she flashed, tailgated, beeped swore went off the chops.
that was the lite bit of it. i then pulled into the servo bout 15mins down the road and had sum old bloke that had nuffin to do with it started losing his mind over it, saying that i was in the wrong,that i shouldnt have been racing her? and wat not.
thats when i lost it at him. really a funny story. ahahah

The other day I was following this 4WD up a steep winding peice of road that leads from the local beach up onto the headland, It has 2 true hairpins but this guy wsa going so slow I had to climb the hill in sections of 5 metres then stop because I was near stalling in 1st and didn't want to ride the clutch the whole way up.
