The other night I was driving home going through a construction zone. The speed was 50 mph and we were going that or a little over. This car behind me is so far in my butt and I was starting to get annoyed. For one, we are in a construction zone. For two, there are cars in front of me and I can only go as fast as they go. Needless to say, I lost my cool and beeped at him and flicked him off when he was finally able to get around me. Dick! Now I am a pretty aggressive driver but I know when to relax and go with the flow. If all lanes are going the same speed, I just chill and wait for my opening. I don’t ride ass trying to make people do the speed that I want. I try to keep my road rage in check, but obviously I had a moment.
I live about 18 minutes away from my job and it is actually better to take the street than the expressway. I dislike street driving because it requires too much attention. Expressway driving you can relax a little and enjoy the ride. No stop lights, stop signs or people making sudden turns, without their blinkers of course. I have compiled a list of my top 10 Road Rage Issues that I encounter regularly.
1. When someone pulls out of a side street and get in my lane even though the other lane was empty.
2. When you are at a light and you let a car out and they do not give you the hand. What? Manners people.
3. When you are getting on the expressway and the car in the lane closest to you does not move into the other lane to allow you a smooth transition on to the highway. Especially if there is no one in the other lane. Really!?!
4. When you are the person that allows someone a smooth transition by getting into the other lane and your exit is coming up and they don’t allow you to get back over. I guess that is why people in issue 3 don’t do it. Lol
5. When someone is driving in the fast/passing lane and they are steadily getting passed. Get your ass out of the fast lane!
6. When you are driving on the expressway and the person in front of you decides to clean their windshield. Now your windshield is splattered with water and you can’t see. You now have to be like the dick in front of you and use your wipers and fluid. Smh
7. When you pull up to a four way stop and everyone is just sitting there like who’s turn is it to go. Uh…mine.
8. When the driver in front of you is going slow but when the light turns yellow, they speed up and run through it while you are stuck sitting at the light.
9. Drivers that sit at lights when the sign does not say no turn on red.
10. When it is a two lane turn and the car in the other lane turns in your lane. And then you have to lay on the horn and dodge their car at the same time.
These are just the top ten. I could go on and on. People can’t drive. And some days, I may even do a few of these things. But I do try to be a considerate driver. Are there ones that I didn’t list that is one of your road rage issues? Please share.
