By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Not driving all that long but experienced my first proper road rage incident tonight. Driving in the road and what do i see only some numpty parked literally bang in the center of the road whilst he's standing waiting to cross the rd and then because i indicated to go past him before allowing him to cross the rd he starts yelling and smacks the car as i pass. Nearly lost my shit but managed to chill out and drive away.

Anyways..... Share your own road rage stories here or what drives you mad with other road users??

Did it not occur to you that it was a bit odd that he had abandoned the car there? Perhaps there was more to the scene that you didn't notice?

If you were forced to stop why not let him cross? Your lights were on, they may have been an aid to him?

He abandoned it to go get McDonald's lol The road is well lit and there's an actual parking area to his left but when your a member of the traveling community you can park in the middle of the rd apparently

Yeah, those neon signs they carry around can be very distracting...

Well you didn't include that in your first post

Still, two wrongs don't make a right so take it as a lesson to keep your cool even when others don't

on the hill NordWest of

Had a guy recently stopping in the middle of a busy round about to leave out his family, had to slam the brakes and honked the horn. He got out of the car and started to shout abuse at me. I didn't react but I'd say if I had been a bloke he'd come up and physically challenged me, but he eventually got back into his car.

As your heading into Belfast on the saintfield road there is a part where cars cut up through a estate and then come out half a mile further down the road. The cars that cut up there then hold the traffic on the main road up as they try to push out. Once had a man give me the fingers for not letting him out. That was a window down moment and the fecker got a mouthful from me. Just go past that part there is the end of the bus lane and traffic lights. Now if the cars where to go into the inner lane double the amount of cars would get through the lights but oh no they sit in the outside lane like idiots and hey you have a massive cue all the way up and past the feckers trying to push out. That really grips my shit

I saw that! But tbh, down here you really don't have a choice, some drivers just can't understand the concept.

Bit of a story ... but when we moved over here to a village, everyone beeped at everyone to say Hello. We weren't used to this but we all waved back every time. You drove and parked in whichever way you wanted. not a problem.

A year later. Back in London. Someone must have had a problem with whatever it was I'd done when driving - and beeped. Me and 3 teenagers automatically waved. The other driver must have thought we were sarcastic bastards

similar story I was driving along and came across a car stopped in the middle of the road with the hazards on then looked over to see the driver standing over a struggling pigeon at the side of the road..imagine blocking a road because of a pigeon I beeped the horn at her and she roared F off at me ..it gave me a good laugh
