I've learned that if you drive a nice car, you have to be extra nice no matter what because people do stupid things to you and your car because they know we care a little more. To avoid keying, quartering, and brake checking, I don't flip the bird or honk in aggression (unless my safety is as risk).
Generally I'm a nice drive. If your turn signal comes on, I slow down to let you in. If you're overtaking me, I move over. I like being a nice driver because for all I know, I just made someone's day who has been having a rough one. It makes me feel better and it's safer to be less aggressive. I will say that if you ride slow in the fast lane, I will pass you and cut it close with no turn signal to let ya know that you need to move over. Just my .02

LMFAO.
I bully people only when they ride on my tail. Some people just dont learn their lesson. Sometimes I wanna ask do you have some serious mental issues when people do that. You are a lost cause.

Ive lived all over Florida and by far HERE is the worst Ive ever seen. WE have a HUUUUUGE foreign population here and they cant drive for ****! If its 45 they do 30 or 35 everywhere they go. They will pull out in front of you while your doing 50 and do 30 then slam on brake and do 25 or turn into another street. They will pull out and cross all 3 lanes of traffic really quick just to turn into a shopping complex meanwhile everyone else comes to a stop because they have to get in there! Ive seen them sit at left green lights and we get the arrow, they turn their right blinker on and just sit there and NO ONE can turn left then! I see that one all the time!!! grrr. I just blow their doors off and flick em off no matter which car im driving. Ive gone around them in the grass or passed double yellow lines etc. I just dont get it, they come here and have NO clue how to drive or follow the rules. No where else have I ever seen it this bad and ive done LOTS of driving in my time. I could go ON and ON, my wife has road rage now since moving here and shes does EXACTLY the speed limit wherever she goes and they make her look like a speed demon. Ive also seen more accidents here than any city ive ever lived in Florida Eva!!!! I better stop now, just liek they do at ALL RR tracks....ugggh /facepalm. complete stops!!!!!
Rant ending FOR NOW.....hahaha

I'm generally NOT a bully, BUT, last week driving home an idiot driving an Infinity SUV passed me in the left lane of a 3 lane interstate highway as I was overtaking a slower car, cuts in front of me and decided the alignment of the planets made it the correct time to wash his windshield which splattered my clean car than sped off. I don't subscribe to being annoyed while driving my Z, but I made an exception this one time and increased my speed to overtake the speeding SUV and returned the window wash the SUV lost.

I blame cell phones and make up for most of my road rage. My wife and I like to glance into every car we pass to see what the driver is up to. 70% are texting or trying to dial a number on their phone. I have almost perfected a way to guess this as well, they start slowing down for no apparent reason. They think letting their foot off of the gas pedal makes it safer I guess. That or they are to f’ing stupid to do both. Any time early morning on work days I would say 20-30 cars I pass there is a female putting on makeup while driving. People that inch forward at lights make me want to go tasmanian devil in my car also, especially when it cause the person behind me to end up inches from my rear bumper. THE LIGHT IS RED YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!
Im curious and joked about getting a blood pressure cuff to check before I leave my home and when I arrive at my destination. Im to the point that I think driving is bad for my health. As far as the bully part I can be at times but for the most part I just get super angry and keep it to myself and my wife lol.

living near colleges/public school/freeway enterances sucks.
Especially when having to be at work at 8am. Some people are slow and some are crappy drivers that are driving fast and cutting people. I've been tailgated several times, but i sometimes enjoy doing the engine break on them and see their impression on my rear view mirror. When they change lane to have a chance to cut me, i just press on the gas to even out with the car next to my lane to make it impossible for the tailgater. |

I like rolling back on people who are up my tail when I'm on a hill. I guess people who don't drive manual and have only been exposed to a Chevy Malibu don't think of these things so can't completely fault them I guess.
I'd say most of the time I am given the right of way and I like letting people in, I just hate not getting a nod or acknowledgement especially when they know 8 other people pretty much said "no way" and I let them in Outside of that...I used to be bad and would be up your azz in the left lane but now I'll sit in the middle lane and let people go by...unless I really got somewhere to be lol.
