So I just had a sudden outburst of it on my way home, some idiot in a golf gti nearly skipped the robot and hit me, as we were both turning into the same road from opposite sides, I had the right of way, and he knew it. When I turned in I then indicated that I'm going to the right lane, he accelerated and once again nearly hit me but I swerved just in time, I went from calm to losing my mind in a matter of seconds, I put foot flat on the paddle and sat right on him for about 8km, until we got to a robot where we were turning opposite ways, he hit brakes right in front of me and throwing his hands up and shouting, I simply went around him and told him f*k off and was on my way, but it was a really stupid situation, and shouldn't have escalated to that, its out of my character to be so aggressive. Anyone else had a moment like this where you simply lost it and afterward looked back and just at the whole thing? |

Very unfortunate, there was also the case of the motorbike guy who got shot and killed on Malibongwe rd a month or so ago, also due to road rage with a guy in a car. It's unbelievable how it can all just escalate out of nowhere, emotions/anger just take over and the next thing you know someone is fighting for their life

Sounds like a scene from fast and furious but with s**t cars.

I'm normally calm and zen like when driving, shouting 'c*ck' at an errant road user suffices. Although one particularly naughty boy racer did warrant a phone call to the police, resulting in a visit to a magistrate court, and 5 points on his license. Don't get mad, get even

sourface, yep, stay away from the steering wheel, with the things some do on the road, you'd be a road rage statistic in no time.
