Road Rage (18th Apr 09 at 9:45pm UTC)
So I was driving home a few minutes ago, and was stopped at a light waiting to turn left into a one-lane road. Now, for those of you who don't know, right-of-way is as follows (in Canada): 1. Pedestrians 2. Straight 3. Right turn 4. Left turn So, no cars were coming from the opposite direction going straight, but there was a line-up of ones turning right. The lady behind me has the nerve to honk at me, and once the cars diminish I make the turn, with her right up behind me. There's a bus up ahead at a stop, so I stop again. I look in the rearview mirror and see the lady waving her arms in a motion which means "Hurry up". Well now, this made me extremely angry. Because of this, I leisurely drove going ~35km/h (on a 40km/h road -- people usually go 60km/h down it), stopping behind the bus instead of driving around it, etc. As I make the turn into my street, I smile and wave at the lady, who obviously needs to learn to control herself on the road. So, share your stories of people with road rage!

Yeah I have had my share experiences about that. I was trying to go to the school where my brothers go to so we can pick them up. It was my turn to go and some truck sped through the intersection, I was very close. So I quickly jammed on the breaks. Then the other day our breaks were going out. (we got it fixed today) I had to drive 5 miles below the speed limit so I could stop, well a person was honking their horn at me. I stuck my head out and signaled them to go around, but they did not.

Aye, I've had people honk at me when I've been going about 10km/h over the speed limit.

Passing a parked bus is illegal here on both sides of the road for greatest amount of protection for the kids. xD.
