Road Rage

Birds and double barreled birds are'a flying - what do you do?

I'm installing a rotating turret with 20mm cannon on top of my truck.

Coulda used one of those when I was driving in Quebec.☹️

But I am a fairly unaggressive driver. Driving is for getting from point A to point B and I would rather focus on that than deal with bullshit and pitches battles.

I keep banana peels and green shells in my car for these moments.

Also like to put the window down and shout "Oh yeah, Mario time!"

I channel all my rage to road rage which is ironic because I live in a city well known for people driving like absolute wet yogurts.

I drive about 8 mph over the speed limit, and set cruise control to not go any faster. Any aggressive assholes come up near me, I stay far away. What bullshit, ruining the drives (and lives) of other people because you are unable to control your behavior and emotions. Let em all kill each other. No excuse for this mean-spirited, selfish, dangerous nonsense.

You can't know what kind of psycho maniac is in the offending aggressive car. They may have a gun, and they can certainly use their vehicle as a weapon. Just slow down, pull away from them, and get away. Use good sense.

I'm pretty sure Texans are the worst drivers anywhere. There are crazy drivers everywhere, of course, but at least their craziness in other places has a sense of direction and purpose. Texans have a very slow and permanently lost sort of stupidity when it comes to driving which leads to them constantly making obstacles of themselves and holding up traffic (often because they've decided to randomly swerve across three lanes of traffic to pull into a Whataburger drive-thru at the last possible second). And then they have the gall to give you a hard time if you dare to honk or suggest they might try following the rules of the road as if buying a massive pick-up truck also entitles them to be totally oblivious to anything happening around them. A bunch of smart-phone narcoleptics with weak ankles who struggle to depress the accelerator pedal and drive in a straight line at the same time...

...But no, I'm a pretty calm and cool driver. I learned to drive in Toronto where traffic is generally civilized (there's just too much of it).

I purposely break check mustangs aka mistakes and little turtle cars that make a lot of noise but are still beside you.

And recently, I've been having fun cutting in on big ass trucks.

If you've ever had the privilege of operating a large cab truck from the 3.5 ton panel variety to the 20 ton and above 18 wheeler semi sized, you'd know how difficult it is for the driver to actually keep that large load in a single lane of traffic at an appropriately safe speed and with a good braking distance between themselves and the self-centered morons in front of them who are darting in front & cutting them off and brake checking them.

Should you continue to brake check semi trucks, don't be surprised if one day your sporty vehicle resembles mangled road kill on the side of a highway or inner-city expressway.

You may soon be attending your own funeral. I'd suggest safe, courteous, sensible driving. 😇

Or get a NASCAR.

Brake checking is just dangerous, petty, and stupid. I can get frustrated as hell with people being totally oblivious to what's going on around them. A little awareness and consideration for other drivers on the road would go a long way to making the world a better place. However, intentionally creating a dangerous situation that could lead to a fatal car wreck, goes beyond simple idiocy to a whole other level of self-important entitled shittiness. If you get angry, by all means, honk a horn, flip off a driver, communicate your irritation - and then be on your way. There's no need to put someone else (not to mention yourself) in harm's way because you don't like the way they drive.

Forever a speed demon.

trucks can't stop on a dime. guessing you have a death wish or something? not to bright, quite honestly. also, drivers are trying to make a living, fucking with them, to the point of where they might dump their loads all over the back of the trailer, is just being an asshole.

Some of these truck drivers(RAM/GMC, had to say which types of trucks I was referring to in previous post)don't even know how to properly connect their cargo. The amount of times I've seen these trucks w/ their dancing trailers, not having their equipment tied down. They're as bad as those Toyota's hauling big ass TV w/ their passenger doors open.

So, either be speed racer to get away from an accident that's waiting to happen and at times break check them to knock it off, or get hit by them by not checking their equipment. I choose speed demon.

I don't mess w/ big rigs cause I like when they blow the horn.

Forever an asshole.

Being from Texas it is a right if passage to have your first gun rack installed in your pickup. We will blow your ass to hell and back for no particular reason....or at least that is the general perception of Texans.

General perception in Texas.

And this is why is best that I don't own a gun lol

Raging at someone is a waste of time and energy and potentially lethally dangerous. I lived in Toronto, which has brutal traffic and gestures and honks were common. Now I live in the sticks and I'm more likely to run into a bear.

When I drove underpowered cars I gave ground to everything. I knew I didn't have the speed to evade so just let them get what they wanted and go on my way.

Now I've a more powerful car, I drive defensively. If its safer for me to let them barge in, I do. If its safer for me to outrun them, I do.

Safety comes first.

Okay I'm guilty of flipping off the occasional fucktard. it seems as if everyone forgot how to drive while cooped up at home during the pandemic. I on the other hand still went in almost every day, it was glorious with the roads empty.

I let people merge, I try and use my turn signals constantly. I don't weave through traffic and when lanes end merge as soon as it's safe. I get pissed off when people weave through the lanes with little regard for others. Try to cut everyone off to gain a few seconds and overall act as, well, as fucktards. Or douche canoes. I like giving people choices.

Okay, I'm off the old guy soap box.

Europe, please take back your roundabouts. Most Americans struggle to drive at a consistent speed in a straight line. There's no way they were going to manage to navigate anything as complex as a circle.
