Are you a ROAD BULLY when driving your Z?

ElVee

Yup, basically this. We'd get along.

kenchan

you still sound angry...

kenchan

wat pisses me off most are these poor garbage loser folks thinking they can be in the same playing field when we are out and about going to work and keeping a tight schedule making a difference for the country and communities... and these f-kers just slow us down.



now beginning to sound like ms.pint's hate thread.

I will smash on you if you’re not on top of your clutch game at the light.
Pedestrians don’t get the right of way.
If you’re in the fast lane doing 65mph I will cut you off with no blinker.
If you’re a bicyclist thinking you’re a car I will crowd the plate.
If your merging on the freeway at 35mph I will go around you before you get a chance to merge.
I’m a honker. I will honk at you if you’re a threat to my Z.
At a four way stop. If two people are hesitating to go because they want to be Mr. Nice guy. I will snake your turns.
18 wheelers hauling dirt with no tarp, Cars/Trucks spewing black smoke due to maintenance issues get no respect.
I have come to realize that after being in a couple of quick/fast cars I have no patience for others.
I don’t consider myself a road bully but an aggressive drive when in aggressive cars.

I do believe in car karma. Meaning if I don’t let others merge in the time of need. My day will come when I need to and I will miss my exit. There are rules to this though. If we are going at a steady pace and you want me to slow down to let you in knowing your car has power and you’re not willing to use it. You aren’t getting in. Unless you are in a slower car of course. I make way for motorcycles.

Out here it's more of the Sun City folk (old, retired people) that have AAAALLLL DAY to do stuff and drive slow as **** around town.

People have things to do and are on a time constraint!!

kenchan

yah, we too have old too. long time ago i use to call 9am-11am "geezer hour" and while a lot were slow, they didn't really get in my way. so often times i took the morning off work to play with my cars.

but the current generation of geezers that are out and about are geezer-losers (with big emphasis on loser). so i decided to call 9am-11am "loser hour". and lately haven't taken a day off just to motor my cars because these losers do not get out of my way and just putt along for miles under the speed limit.

the sacrifice and tolerance we must have for losers.

cooltoy

I'll just leave this here. Not me, by the way.

I hate when they drive their golf carts on main roads and don't move over.

Haboob

Not sure that would work here in the States. Seems like unlawful seizure, as road rage isn't a crime. If he hits someone with the car, then yes, that's a crime, but yelling at people, etc. isn't.

Edit: I guess it says he did try to force someone off the road. The rest was TL;DR.

This weekend the bikers (pedal bikes) were really pissing me off. I was driving on some backroads for fun on Sunday, and the roads arnt that wide, without bikers, it can be tight getting the Z through when there is an SUV coming the other way. When you ad bikers, its flat out dangerous. You need to pass them quick before you get into a head on, and you cant see who's coming because of all the turns. And many times, the bikers are in the middle of the lane (not off to the right) and don't get over to the right when i come up on them, like they own the road. It was really starting to irritate me. They act like they own the road and I'm in their way.

I love dealing with tail gaters from stop signs. I used to do this all the time
on my Goldwing because the power to weight ratio allows you to be way up the road before the person who had been tail gating even gets going.

Same with the Z about the time your hitting resume on the cruise they are a distant memory and only get back on your *** if they massively speed. First and fore most I focus on keeping my car as safe as possible, what ever type of driving that takes for the moment.

kenchan

ok, now that's funny.


yah, i hate bicycle ridors too. i have a lot of them in the wooded area where i take my Z out on weekend drives. most of them ride single file, but you always have these hotshotmofo's with their big muscular bodies thinking they can ride in the center of the road and not yield to traffic or obey traffic signs.

they really need to make bicycle ridors to pay insurance and have special licenses if they are going to ride on public roads.

It really depends on my mood but I do both aggressive and defensive driving when necessary. I usually let people out though and I always watch out for motorcyclists.

I grew up and have lived in California my whole life and LA drivers are different. While driving 85MPH and following two other cars at a closer than normal distance. Asshat after another would drive inches off my bumper. I'd wonder where they thought I could go. I hate being tailgated so I'd let them by and it would happen a few moments later by the next cockgobbler.

Outside of LA I want to drive faster than the next car. So I try and get ahead at every opportunity. On the few times I've been wrong, I let the car behind me go and try and keep up with him.
