Why do I get so pissed off when I drive?

When you travel the same route every day at the same time, people get to where they recognize the other regular commuters around them. Maybe you've been a d!ck to too many fellow commuters too many times, so when they see you coming, they think to themselves, "I'm not letting that asshole in, he cut me off/flipped me off/whatever in the past."

PS: You're one of the reasons why young male drivers have high insurance rates. All the safe, courteous male drivers under the age of 24 with absolutely clean records on the board most likely would like a chance to line up and give you a beating for making them get lumped into the same risk category as you.

Maybe YOU have never had an accident, but how many have you CAUSED? You come in here bragging about how you drive like an asshole, cutting people off, and stop on the highway and tell someone to fvck off because he didn't let you change lanes. You drive pissed off on a regular basis. What do you expect people on the board to do? Pat you on the back and tell you that you're a great driver?

I hope someday you'll grow the hell up.

It doesn't matter how many accidents you have been in or caused. The way your driving is dangerous, there is no justificaion for it. Miss your exit? Get off at the next one. Can't cross the intersection? Wait. Still can't cross? Wait some more. Still can't? Quit driving.

Do I have to preregister, or can I just bring the steel-toes and start in on the bootfvcking whenever I choose?

Sadly enough half of you who are knocking him have done this s**t before too. In many areas being nice on the highway only means you'll get screwed over. I think those who have to drive in eastern Mass will agree on this.

Even though I live in New York I end up driving more miles in eastern Mass because of work. There are 2 kinds of drivers there, the dead and the agressive. The dead are the people who get in the left lane of the interstate and do 50-60 in a 65 or do 30 in a 45 on a 2 lane road blocking traffic. Then there are those who are agressive. Take a state that has a horrible traffic design (Big dig, billions of dollars, traffic is still just as backed up) add in dead drivers who do stupid things and suddenly you have agressive drivers. These are the people who will drive in the breakdown lane during restricted hours, these are the people who will pass a dead driver on a solid double yellow.
Finding a happy medium in eastern Mass is damn near impossible. I don't want to be like the agressive drivers but I don't want to be a dead driver either. I have work to do and I can't waste all day in the car. So I have to find that happy medium. I'll pass the dead drivers on the interstate when I can safely do so. Dead driver on a 2 lane road. There are safe ways to pass them like taking a side street.
There is also no harm in yeilding to the agressive drivers as odds are following them will get you there faster.

So anyways all of you who chastise him but do this same crap are nothing but slimebags.

yeah, that's right, the world revolves around YOU. It's the other people who are bad for not "letting you pass".

I think that they should have mandatory castration for people with too much road rage. One warning, then they castrate you. Should take care of all that anger on the road.

nope. I've driven badly, but I've never gotten pissed and cut a ton of people off for no reason other than "they wouldn't let me pass" :roll:
When driving, it's best to be nice but firm when traffic is bad. If someone's trying to merge in front of you, and you don't have a pressing need to stop them, let them in. If, however, you waited in the line for an hour to get in the express lanes, don't let some idiot come kiting right by everyone and try to merge in front of you. And, if you do drive aggressively, drive calmly as well. It's very possible to drive calmly, quickly, and safely all at once.
