This probably has a better place to be, but...I'm tired and my karma's messed up (another way of saying I'm mad as hell).

I try to be reasonable. I know that not everyone can be the perfect driver, and that everyone gets a bit frustrated when waiting for 200 cars to pass them before driving onto a large road. However, I'm getting kindof pissed at being pulled infront of five or more times a day. Call me a prude if you may, or overcautious, but my checkered driving past (two accidents, two unrelated citations in the last year) has lead me to a relatively mild-mannered driving style. I may accelerate rapidly, powerslide through some turns when I know that I am completely alone (can't drift, because I have a fwd car atm), and speed a bit now and then, but when I'm in traffic I look before I switch lanes, wait until I know that when I pull into traffic I won't slow down the person behind me excessively, and follow cars with enough room that if they were to slam on their breaks, I would have time to react accordingly (in other words, a hell of alot more than 20 feet).

Thusly, I get pissed to hell when eight different people cut me off every time I get into my car, everyone around me follows with obviously inadequate distance, and the person behind me keeps trying to let our bumpers kiss.

I may sound like a maniac in this, but everytime someone cuts me off, I hope that they give me a situation where I cannot react quickly enough, and drive my euroslut (vw jetta) through their freakin' lap.

Everytime someone tailgates me, I hope that I have a reason to slam on my breaks and send my *** right through their forehead. (hell, I already slow down as much as possible, esp. on backcountry highways with double yellow lines)

Everytime someone changes lanes without signaling (around 100 everytime I go through town, at most a small exaggeration) I feel like ramming their freakin' soccermommobiles.

Does noone have any freakin' sense at all when they're in their automobiles?

i feel your pain bro. that happens all the time and i try to drive relatively conservative. i try to follow at a safe distance, try not to speed THAT much, and when i do, i make sure i know where i am going, and i always look all around before i change lanes. people are always pulling in front of me and make me slow down considerably; people tailgate me alot (a few times i have slammed on the brakes for no good reason other than seeing if they'll hit me and get me a new *** for the car), and people cut me off. i have a bad road rage temper to top this off. so far, i haven't killed anyone. but one of these days, i don't know if i will be able to help myself......

best way to drive: act like the people driving EVERY other car on the road are retarded monkeys. In my experience, thats not very far from the truth..........

That's interesting. I never quite notice how stupid other drivers were until i got my 240sx. Previously, I had a maxima, and don't get me wrong, I liked that car, but it wasn't as fun as my 240. Since then I am overly paranoid about anything happening to my car, and whereas before I would **** with the person if they were tailgating me, now I just get the hell over before they can cause any damage to my car. If it's a single lane I'll slow down until they're forced to pass me. But on the highway especially, sooo many people just don't realize how GOD DAMN STUPID it is to tailgate someone. Person in front of you slams on their brakes and you're screwed! That's all there is to it. If there's no one around that can potentially cause damage to my car then I have a hell of a lot of fun with my car, otherwise, I drive like grandma because I want to protect my baby :)

Wow. You drive an s14 and you love it dearly, so rare these days in the fairer sex. Will you marry me? Or at the least teach some girls around here how to like cars without driving like an idiot? :D
