So I'm driving home from work today (after a very hard night at work), and just couldn't wait to come home and unwind.. There are only two cars in the immediate area: me, and some Toyota. I'm doing 65, the speed limit, and he is going from about 55-60 so I change lanes to go to pass. I'm about 5 miles from my exit, lots of time. I pass and get just to where he is in my blind spot and he speeds up. No big deal, I'll just pull behind him maybe he didn't realize he was going so slow. I maintain my 65mph and and prepare to pull in behind him, when he quickly slows down again. Still, no problem, I'll just pass him but I'm right around the corner from my exit so I'm starting to plan that if he fluctuates his speed some more I'll just speed up to about 70, pass him and be done with it. So, still going 65 I pull ahead of him and again the second he hits my blind spot he speeds up, so I speed up and put my blinker on... so he speeds up some more, so I slow down and he slows down, finally I check my rear view mirror no one around so I slam on the breaks to pull in behind the guy. Apparently he is one of those, "This is my road, you can't have any." type of people. Whatever, I just want to get home. Now I made it in behind the guy, but when he realizes what I've done he breaks hard too and decides to get off at the same exit as me....
Having experienced this, I have to say its people like this that *create* road rage. I don't speed, I drive nice, and I share the road with other people. But I was about ready to run my crappy little car into him. *sigh*  It really shouldn't be that way.

Whatever someone else does...it is us who create rage...period! Yes, the behavior of others is frustrating to deal with at times but nothing good can ever come from over reacting to what someone else does or doesn't do!
Take care................

No, it shouldnt be that way, but it is.
Unfortunatly, I experience this kind of thing every day in my work.
Good for you that you kept your cool and didnt hit him.
Have a better day, and watch out for him again tommorrow.

A disposable camera does wonders for people like that.
Recently, I advised my brother-in-law to put a disposable camera in his vehicle, but he didn’t listen and then was involved in an accident. 
He's crying the blues now.

I know where your coming from, I see it almost everyday of the week either being done to me or others.

What is she smoking, she must live out in the sticks. Come Drive in Chicago or any larger city, I bet you will become a little mad and see what rage is too sweetie.
