Most of my road rage is directed at people who try and cut me up or overtake me assuming I am pootling along at 2mph when I am actually not , they pull out realise they can't get round me and then drive dangerously to get ahead to save the humiliation of having to conceed and pull back in behind me !! For my sanity ( and my husbands nerves) I should a) own another model of car where other people's testosterone fueled idiotship doesn't come into play and b) I should just not drive at all EVER as there are too many tossers on the road - most of which you also encounter on your fornighly jaunts up the A34 !

Well, after a 1200 mile trip on the weekend one might think differently, but its definitely more fun than in UK, since there are 5 lanes and you're allowed to over- and undertake. Oh, and here are so many more idiots on the road than in UK. Or maybe I'd like to think so, since I only swear at drivers (or pedestrians, or cyclists) in the UK when they almost knock me off my bikecycle :) Driving is awesome.

You have to let it out! You should come and do some driving over here - there's plenty of 'open road' without a rush hour traffic jam in sight. Or anything else for that matter!
