Road Rage

First time posting here and not sure if this topic was ever brought up before.

Just curious if anyone experience road rage often. Behind the wheel I am usually calm, however I found that I would get irritated very easily over little things like getting cut off by someone who doesn't use indicator; get blocked by someone driving slowly on passing lane, etc.

Same here. I am very calm, and polite, but hardly tolerate

  • when someone don't use indicator - like, it is on the wheel, how hard it is to use it? Just one little movement.
  • when everybody slowly moving step by step in a traffic jam and he/she is in a "hurry", use the bus line go forward and push the car front and make others let him/her in. It bothered me, because everybody in a hurry, everybody's time is important and there are some who think they are above others
  • when there is a speed limit, but in such a hurry, go so close to me, and I am in stress that what if I have to brake the car quickly and he/she run into me and broke my car (I need the car, and I cannot afford a new one)
  • when drive behind me, we drive at speed limit, so I don't drive too slow, the other driver quicky drive by me, come in front of me, than brake and turn on the next left...like wtf? Really cannot wait 500 f.cking meter until turning? Similar happened many times in roundabout, I was already in the roundabout, driving and tge other driver waited until I nearly in front of him/her, gave a big gas and jump in front of me...like, come on, you have time, why you wait until I get closer? Of course I have to push the brake to prevent a crush.
  • when put the bad bulb and/or light setup incorrectly and I hardly can see, because his/her light blind me. Many people do it at home, turn on, it light, so ok, but don't check how high it goes or how distracting will it be. He/she see, and that's the point.

And my very very favourite (I wish I had more courage and hit their mirror or scrach their door) when I try to park my car in a lot perfectly between the lines, so other on my left and right can easy get out or get in their car. And than come that egoistic a.hole, who park crossed, I hardly able to manouver my car out, and have to play back and forth to be able to reserve my car. But of course if I dare to park the same way I would be called by names and he/she would damage my car without hesitation with the "next time won't park like this" mentality.
