    Road Rage, who gets it?

    My work means i'm on the road in and out of Melbourne and surrounds all day, i'm a laid back type of bloke and take most things in my stride.

    Recently though i'm struggling to control my temper with other road users, i'm easily fired up by people sitting at green lights, cutting in and generally not paying attention on the road, now, when you're in a 4wd sitting higher than most cars, and have a bull bar that can be parked level with the back window of most hatchbacks of dubious origin, bad thoughts tend to cross my mind......

    What do others that spend alot of time in traffic do to stay sane?

    Whats traffic?

    But when in the city I just forget it, no need to rush...

    I dont care anymore....

    There are more important things to worry or get upset about..

    What ****s me driving in Melbourne is you lot are so paranoid about speed cameras that no-one even does the speed limit anymore.

    Last 4 trips, everyone in Melbourne sat 5-10km under posted limits.


    DirtDawg, I live in a town where if I see 5 cars in a row its 'peak hour'

    I spend a lot of time driving across Melb. Yeah it's frustrating.
    I have learnt to expect the worst of other drivers. That way I am never dissapointed.
    I find a good CD is the best way to make things more pleasent.

    Oh No.... I feel a rant coming on!!!!

    I usually aahhhh.... grip the steering wheel really hard, and on occasion have been known to stamp my right foot, and then usually reach out the window and grab my brain before it runs away and I get in trouble!

    Usually when i'm merging onto a freeway behind grandma doing 60kmh , while i'm trying not to get cleaned up by the Bdouble coming up behind me.

    I too am very relaxed, I always indicate, I slow down for red lights, give way, let people in, let people out, keep to the left, but sometimes the little things really get to me.

    Oh and don't get me started on Revenue Cameras!

    around here they generally go 5-10ks over,particularly in the morning going to work,i recon we need more speed cameras

    i drive a lot during the day,& as for road rage i dont worry to much anymore....i just go with the flow.

    until some idiot cuts me off,and then holds me up

    cheers
