Not going to happen. If all you've got to post is how you're a bad driver and you don't care what anyone says or thinks about it, and then you're going to actually resort to calling me names like "Primate" I think it is you who should seriously consider pursuing a hobby that brings you joy. People attacked your post and you because it was ignorant. That's the consequence you have to deal with when you post like that.

Go ahead, stick around, but don't complain when decent people react to your arrogance. In fact, I think if you just stick to reading the news and not posting much, everyone will be better off. And find a new gimmick other than the thumbs up...it's played.

Seriously Anderson, I don't get you at all. You and others jumped on me with insults telling me I was ignorant. I don't understand why you would do this if I already apologized for being that way IN MY ORIGINAL POST. Great job being redundant by telling me guys. 👍

My god... I may be on a learner license but does every freaking Joe Blow have to get their car right up my ass!? I mean.. one of them even had the guts to honk at me... I'm going the damn speed limit mate! So I tried a little experiment... As illegal as it seems, I'm sorry if I violate the AUP, But I sped up 10 km/h above the speed limit (Which was 50 Km/h) and not to my surprise, the guy got even closer! What the ****.... :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:

To the mods, the time length of the speeding was roughly 3 seconds, and I did it in an empty area near a paddock. I will never do that crap again. But I was SERIOUSLY pissed off... :grumpy: 👎 👎

My aunt is psycho and decides to slam on her brakes to make the person think twice before tailgating her. It's not fun to be in the car. But I like how it pisses off the person.

Those were insults? Wow, you must be a very sensitive person if you consider what was said an insult.

I would highly reccomend taking these COMMENTS at face value, and not taking what is said too seriously

Who are you to say it's end of discussion? You have no authority around here.

Since when is being called a fool not an insult? If I'm not mistaken, calling someone that is actually a sin. We won't get into that though.

He's telling you to end it because both of you might get formally warned for spamming. So just stop. You make it seems like he punched you or something of the sort.
 
Here's how I take care of tailgaters... on my hood, there are two spray nozzles for the windshield. One on the left, and one on the right... the one on the right is aimed above my car, and towards the back left side of my car.

The one on the left side (two actual sprayers in each nozzle) sprays on both sides of the windshield.

You may think I'm an asshole for doing this, but when someone is within 15 feet or less off my bumper, it does spray their windshield right on the drivers side, and the red food coloring that I mix with the washer fluid REALLY throws them off, and they back off real quick.

Keep in mind I don't abuse this system, and it is a last resort after slowing down and speeding back up, hitting the brakes, and "hand signals", in that order.

I actually did end up getting a black eye last night. I hate drunk people. :ouch:

Oops, I'm spamming.
 
Road rage seems kind of stupid to me, in the three years I've been driving I've only used my horn when trying to get someones attention. I just don't get mad on the road or in real life really. Then again I am Canadian, so that could be part of it.

…I've only used my horn when trying to get someones attention.

Same here. To date, I've used my horn twice: Once when someone started backing out of a parking space while I was approaching (not her fault, there was an SUV in the way), and once when I was making a left turn at a light and the guy next to me in the go-straight-only lane started to also make the left turn – stupid mistake on his part, but I honked not out of anger but just so I wouldn't end up t-boning him. I've seen first-hand how honking out of anger can bring along bad road rage (my mom got in a terrible fight with a lady after she honked at her), so I only use it for avoiding accidents. However, I'll gladly flash my lights at someone if they're being an idiot.

If you live in southern CA though, don't flash your lights at an oncoming car that has its headlights off in the middle of the night. Apparently, gangs here are using that as a "rite of passage" – potential gang members will purposely drive at night with their headlights off, and if someone flashes their lights at them, they have to shoot the person in that car in order to join the gang. Sick jerks.

Sigh. That is the absolute OLDEST urban myth in the world. A few years ago the same thing was apparently going on up here near Toronto, Canada. It was so persuasive that the police department issued a warning to the community. A few weeks later it turned out to be a hoax, which was good because it meant the police were once again free to get rid of all the alligators in our sewer system up here...

...Margate's Finest are all too busy gathering up all the spiders that crawl up toilets at the wee hours of the night.

During the day, they're trying to find out who stole Mrs. Field's cookie receipe.

What happens when you are just cleaning your windshield at the lights?

Well, there was a lady here who was shot a couple weeks ago because of that. Could be lying, but I'd rather not take the chance…

Better safe than sorry. :)
 
Bunch of suckers around here! Hey, I got a good deal on the Brooklyn Bridge...better be safe and get your piece today before everyone else gets theirs!
 
I usually deal with them by slowing down to a snail's pace, provided i'm not in a hurry, or i'll randomly slam on the brakes. :D
 
I've heard of the "high-beam" gang initiation too(Portland, OR). My reaction to that was same as Anderton's, probably just an urban myth.
 
Up here in NJ, there's 3 types of drivers:

A. the very few people who drive normal
B. the assholes who speed in a hurry to go nowhere fast
C. the people who just don't have a clue how to drive and shouldn't have a license (vast majority)
