Road Rage

While driving along yesterday
a guy 'cut me up' on the way,
I slammed on my brake,
he'd made my heart quake,
as I had the clear right of way.
I blasted my horn, but oh gee,
he got mad, as mad as can be,
then my ears he abused
and the words that he used
weren't nice to a lady like me.
Now that was too hard to be borne,
all that 'cos I tooted my horn?
then he didn't linger
but gave me the 'finger',
and that's why he earned all my scorn.
I got home in time for my tea
I could not believe what I see,
as the car of that louse
was parked near my house.....
Oops - that car just got paint on my key.
This is all true - apart from the last line
Have you experienced road rage?

Yes road rage I have seen
Some drivers are just plain mean
They give me the finger
Then fail to linger
So I can release my own spleen!!

I have been involved in road rage ... I beeped my horn like you did and at the next set of traffic lights he got out of his car and kicked my front indicator light... I was ssooo mad... and although I gave hime a few choice words and hand gestures... I don't think he knew what I was saying .. as he was spanish...

Despite the innocence you claim
I suspect that you were to blame
It is not your road
So use the Highway Code
And stop pushing in without shame
To get home quicker you did strive
And through the traffic did duck and dive
This just causes congestion
So I have one question
Why are women allowed to drive?

We have indeed
They went at an unbelievable speed
Fingers out and abusing
It certainly was not amusing.
That is true as well and it happens over here loads.

@jaboUK
I love the responses
I do indeed
Except when those nutty drivers go at that speed
They overtake you and close you in
No wonder us driver´s nerves are wearing thin
All that stress they give us
Cannot compare when speeding past you
Their horns doth give out an outlandish blare.

Oh yes, I go through this A LOT. Everything you've heard about L.A. traffic is pretty much true. Even the road rage. I truly hate that even when the other driver clearly made the mistake, they get angry and make the "gestures"

@jaboUK I use my horn but typically only if someone uses their horn first. It isn't like this is the Wild West..most people here are not gonna do anything..I don't drive in dangerous areas.

I won't tell if the last line is true @jaboUK . Yeah, I've had people blasting their horns because I wasn't going 100 miles an hour and they were so close to me in the back that I could tell what color eyes the driver had. I had a lady one time drive right through a stop sign and almost hit me in the passengers door. I followed to her the next red light, jumped out of my car, ran up to her window and called her a .......You should have seen the look on her face. As I walked back to my car, the guy behind me raised his hands off the steering wheel with a look on his face that said, "I didn't do it, I'm innocent."

@jaboUK Had I not been doing the Exorcist move (spinning head), she would have really caused me some serious injury. Even in this small town, people are idiots behind the wheel.

What do you mean by "a guy 'cut me up' "? I don't drive but I am in the car with my husband and often I see cars cut other cars off. I hate that! Wait your turn!

@jaboUK I knew you weren't literal but had no idea what you meant. Thanks for clarifying.

Road rage is a terrible problem! Here it leads to violent fights and even deaths. We usually try to avoid it when we go out on a drive but some people are just persistent enough to not let the matter go. That is when trouble begins.

@jaboUK Stress and frustration of the increasingly competitive world / life are starting to get to people. This stress and frustration are leaking into other spheres of life.
