Do any of you ever get into it with other drivers who really piss you off?

like you would frequently flip off other drivers who are aggressive or anger you?
I'm pretty honky. I'll flip people off but I'm not going on a rage rampage of any sort.
girls like my fa
I might honk aggressively at a driver who is about to crash into me after failing to stop at a certain octagonal red sign. I might sustain that honk for an unnecessary amount of time after having passed the driver. Oh, and I also honked once at a driver who was about to merge lanes from some intersection, when it was clearly my turn to go. I do tend to hover my hand above the horn when I spot such drivers nearby. On a bad day, I might honk anyway even though the driver hasn't done a thing wrong.

I average about 4 flip offs a year. Its reserved for when someone tries to take my life with their vehicle. Ie last guy who got the bird was a guy who merged onto the highway and immediately cut over to the middle lane i was in with no blinker and forced me to move over to the 3rd lane to avoid an accident.

I will get mad to myself sometimes or flip people off, but even if the other person is an idiot, I should calm down and only save it for the worst of the worst.

Honking I only do when I am calling somebody out(like a guy blatantly running a red light) or when somebody really fucks up, like a few weeks ago a guy passed a garbage truck when he likely did not have a clear view of my lane and came close to hitting me. That got a honk.

Naw i think he was on drugs. I eventually moved back to the middle lane and he actually got over to the 3rd lane and was doing about 75 in a 60.
I didnt use to be so bad, but over the past year or two, people have become horrendous drivers. Ive been honking a bit more than usual sadly.

People are constantly trying to run through red lights and stop signs in front of me, and it pisses me off so much

I don't think I do anything overt even if I get really pissed. Like, maybe a hidden flip-off, but I'm not generally actually going to do anything more than a "what are you doing!!!" pose to some random stranger

Such a serious transgression for merely showing a gesture that reflects one's contempt for another?

Is your implication that given the abundance of gun violence in the country, such a reaction should be expected?

No, people in my area are usually pretty calm drivers. I have only really snapped at people 2 times in my adult life and only one was at a driver who hit me but refused to admit responsibility.

As many times people get in front of me then slow down or still think it is a skool zone -.-; I don't honk and zoom around them and get in front of them because what would be the point? If I do that I can clearly see they speeding up just to block me from doing that and I really don't have that far to go even though they are wasting my time by not going a few mph over the speed limit. Keep the train going people. CHOO CHOO!!!
"SPOILERS"... If ppl call me a douche bag I reply "Well at least I'm scoring!"
I just use my horn whenever someone does something dumb or aggressive. I used to give people the finger when I was younger but there are too many crazy people and I have a family to think about

We don't need CCW in AZ. You literally just go to the store, fill out the form for the 10 minute background check, pay and walk out. The store I bought mine from has layaway and punch card incentives for purchases. It's a huge scene down here. It took me 20 mins to buy a gun.

maybe az might be one of the most lax in the country in my state you do. So there is nothing on top of the regular background check for a firearm? nothing on top of that at all, just put it in your car. What if a cop pulls you over, you must tell him immediately you have one in your car?

There was no other check. There may be if your quick bg check comes back with a flag maybe. Mine didn't have any issues.

I haven't been pulled over but yeah, that's what I'd do. I'd just show the cops my hands and let them know I have a legal firearm in my purse and let them decide how the stop goes from there.

Yes, I think it's a horrible process that allows for stupidly easy access to firearms.

She tried to pull the "It's not my fault!" card and I basically snapped at her and told her to call the police and have them get a statement if she was so sure of herself. She ended up calling her husband who, after hearing us both out, essentially agreed with me. Stupid thing was it was just a scratch on both our cars and I wasn't going to involve insurance anyways since the time and paperwork was more effort then just covering it with some touchup paint. She just pissed me off by trying to blame everything on me when it was clearly her fault.

In some crazy cases, the b/f or husband might have came on seen and tried to beat you up. Have seen some crazy YouTube videos. Did you ever think the husband might do that? You shoulda called the cops right there. No idea why you didn't just do that. What happened though, no way it wasnt 100 percent her fault? Have heard of people buying dashcams cause other people in car accidents won't admit fault

She backed into my car when it was, or all intents and purposes, parked. I had just started it up and was about to move it when she tapped the back end. Again, I wasn't going to involve insurance since it was just a tiny scratch that was barely noticeable, but she was trying to blame it on me. The only reason I could think was that she was going to try and get me to pay the $20 to cover up the scratch on her car? IDK.

Nah, I'm chill. Most I do is shrug. Every once in a blue moon I'll give a thumbs up/thumbs down.

I've had moments of idiocy while driving, and I just assume that that's what's happening with the drivers around me.
