You wouldn't behave like that if you were in the street and someone stepped in front of you. Like the Carragher thread, some folk just seem to turn into total dicks behind the wheel (yes, yes, whilst others are dicks all the time!). Sounds like she's needing some "comfort". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, they also drive on the right here so that backs up your point. Or doesn't. I think thats the thing. Its natural to go to the left rather than the right. Well here it is anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why she was distracted in the first place. Poor girl totally shaken up as she thought this guy was going to get out the car and batter her. Anyway, we've had enough Heads Gone so I won't post my true feelings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, have posted about this before but I cant get my head around the whole road rage thing. Really odd behaviour, but can turn quite sinister in scenarios like the above. Fucking shitebag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I agree with the behaviour of the lad, especially if your wife apologised, but in fairness, if someone stepped in front of you in the street they're not putting you in risk of doing several thousands pounds of damage to your body. It's not really a comparable analogy. Edited March 13, 2018 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's okay in crawling traffic for a bloke to drive around and block in a single female to shout, scream and swear at her and put her in fear if he does not like the fact that female is stuck in the wrong lane and he doesn't want to let her in? You defeat your own argument by citing fiscal concern for your vehicle then saying it's okay to go ape behind the wheel putting other road users at risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I've already said I think it was pretty low behaviour. I'm simply saying that to compare it to someone walking in front of someone in a street isn't a fair analogy. There are far more potential consequences to a car getting cut up than a person. If you can point out to me where I said it was okay for someone to go ape behind the wheel then please do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one to get angry in the car tbh, but it’s not comparable at all to someone cutting in front of you in the street as there’s no risk to your life/risk of thousands worth of damage. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still, whats the point in shouting and swearing and intimidating folk? What are you going to do, get out and assault them? Increased risk is mitigated by mandatory training, laws of the road and insurance. You have no more right to abuse someone because you feel your property is at risk of accidental damage. Maybe if a person was blatantly breaking the law and putting you at risk personally fair enough. Too many people seem to think that someone elses driving not being up to the standards you expect is grounds to shout and bawl at them. Not saying that any of this is what you are saying btw, just general points about road rage. Shandons point most likely is that a lot of people who carry on like this wouldnt have the balls to do so up close and personal. He is of course correct on that. People who lose their temper over daft shite in the car need to have a real think about the situation they could end up putting themselves and their families in when they abuse the wrong person one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
