any road rage tips?
w/ me it became "let me think of the worst possible thing a motherfucker could do to me in this sitch and let me think of what the best possible outcome me getting my rocks off temporarily by antagonizing him and if A > B, just fuckin move over and let the dude have his small victory".
the one thing though I still can't take is someone who flashes lights in the right lane. I'm already in the slow lane motherfucker, what are you asking me to do here?

also I started riding w/ my dad and hearing him say the same shit I would say (cos I clearly got it from him) and saw how stupid it looked as an outside observer.

maybe, but first it's important to know whether you're raging because other people are driving aggressively and almost killing you, or because other people are making mistakes and driving slowly in the passing lane and blocking your progress

um the former is road rage, the latter is just being a disgusting savage

oh wait I misread
Slow ppl don't really bother me, even when they end up holding up traffic for miles and miles via chaos effect or w/e.... I just get bemused

To the extent that I'm able, I give other drivers a wide berth so that they can all be terrible in a way that doesn't directly affect me. Seems to work.

The safest place to drive on high speed roads is between packs. It is worth adjusting your speed to place yourself in that position as much as possible.

Saw someone *losing it a bit* on the A34 today - waving his arms out of the window, sticking his finger up, getting disproportionately angry and so on - and thought "What a sad man". I vowed to stop gesticulating.
