French maniac camper van on Greek road. I almost understand road rage now!  

Hello Thea - you don't seem to be having a very good day today, mate! Spanish drivers are also maniacs, and they have this 'macho' attitude that they have to get in front of women drivers, even when you have the right of way.

When I'm driving my UK registered camper, it's different, because it's right hand drive, and at a quick glance, they think Tony's driving. BTW, when I drive the camper, I'm neither too fast nor too slow, and if there's a queue of traffic behind me, I'll pull over if necessary. In Spain, we have a lot of 'crawler lanes' for lorries and slow moving vehicles, but I think we've got a lot more land available for roads here.

All you can do is drive to the lowest common denominator, and allow for the fact that almost every other driver on the road is an accident waiting to happen.

People who speed up when being passed are rude and looking for trouble. We have these in the States as well and they are often the cause of road rage actions. A driver trying to get around, after being put off by a vehicle he is passing speeding up is likely to accelerate even more, even to dangerous speeds and then once in front of the offender, get on the brakes hard to show how mad they are! Sometimes the offenders are unable to stop in time and end up with notonly a damaged vehicle but a ticket as well for failure to control their vehicle as rearenders are always at fault!
