Default What vehicle brings out your road rage?

Apologies to bus drivers but you beat white vans for me.I know you have to drive 'aggressively' to make progress but driving like a twerp is different.

Assuming you own the roads.You don't.Reminding people of your God given rights in the Highway Code.Taking advantage of your size to just assume other cars will move.

My blood pressure rises as soon as I am behind one

Works both ways though. I hired a van a few weeks back, driving through Nottingham I stopped in a queue waiting at some traffic lights. There were two lanes which merged from the right into one just past the junction. The inside lane made better progress across the junction and on reaching the merge, the car who had been next to me at the lights had dropped back behind the drivers door on the van. I continued onto the single lane whereupon I got a whole load of abuse. Obviously the guy felt I should have slowed down and let him overtake

Citroen 2CV - its more of a hippy tree hugging statement than a car. They are always driven by the great unwashed who think that anything that goes more than 30mph will kill their friends 'the trees'.

Anything with a massive "Halfords special" rear spoiler and 98 baked bean cans for an exhaust.

Agreed. Especially when on a back road, they then drive with one wheel on the other side of the road, just to make sure you can't overtake them, cos their speed is the right speed .........

Then when you do pass them, they flash their lights, and shake their fist at you, as you have clearly just tried to kill them

Do bicycles count? Round our way they quite often have club "races". So you come round the corner of a country lane and suddenly see 100 fat ***** twenty abreast doing 20 mph. Gawd help you if you try to overtake unless given a signal by bike marshall or whatever. It'll be tin tacks one day

Any **** driving a car that doesn't like the fact that a female driver in a Ford KA has over taken them, Merc and BMW drivers being the worst. Stupid ******* put their foot down the second they notice I'm about to/actually am overtaking them

Boy racers in Subaru Impreza's driving like *****, tarnishes all Impreza drivers with same brush.

Also 4x4's, either they drive like they are on sedatives or very agressively and right up your zuast just cos they think its intimidating?!

You can't change the way everyone drives, but you can change how you react to it. Noone really gets to me. (Except maybe lane hogs !)
