Guessing The 5 Possible Things That Could Lead To Road Rage This Bad
Let's put on our thinking caps today folks! As a guy who hates driving, sure has let out his share of F-bombs, and hurt his hands pounding the steering wheel, center console, or the side arm rest up against the window, I feel my duty to judge all things road rage. We're going to assume that this girl didn't know this person driving the car she absolutely smashed, because if she knows them it opens up a world of possibilities. The driver could have cheated on her, fired her from work, etc. The possibilities are endless.
So to assume these two are complete strangers is the better way to go. From there, let's try to put our finger on the five things that may have led to a freakout like this. What could this driver have done to piss this girl off so go nuclear like this? I'm left to guess on the things that would have driven me crazy if I was her.
5- Following Too Closely
On the scale of Defcons, this is the lowest, but there's nothing worse that feeling like someone is up your ass. Think about it, you are out for a nice leisure drive and you got a driver behind you up your ass pressuring you, making you worry that they are going to smash into you. The worst. I don't know if this would make me fully smash in a window, but it sure would get me irritated.
4- Beeping The Minute The Light Turns From Red To Green
The cousin of reason #5, NOTHING, I mean nothing gets under my skin quicker than trying to drive and have no issues, take my time, have an easy day etc, then some skell behind me hits the horn the second the light turns from red to green. Where the fuck are you going that you can't spare 3 seconds to wait for me to hit the gas?
3- Driving Slow When You Are In A Hurry
Now this is how you know I'm a hypocrite driver because I have absolutely smashed the horn if someone takes even a second longer than I want to move. Same with driving slow when I'm in a hurry. Hit the gas asshole, I got things to do or stay slow and I'll kick in the glass (hypothetically).
2- Gave Her The Finger
I have a friend who told me on Thanksgiving morning he was driving with his dad, and another driver gave his dad the finger. He followed for 2-3 blocks til he caught him, pulled him out of the car, punched him in the face and then got back in his car and drove to pick up the pie they needed for that day like nothing happened. The finger pissed people off.
1- Trying To Cut Into The Lane At The Last Minute
This is my number 1. Don't you dare try to cut into my lane at the last minute. Absolutely infuriates me. I do everything I can to block these people off who "dick in" and despise when the people in front of me let them in with no problem. Zero integrity for the line and the. people behind them. Disgusting. If I had to wait, you had to wait.
