Had some guy honk at me immediately after a light turned green today. So I just sat there until it turned yellow and then went, making it so he couldn't get through until the next cycle. Don't honk like an rear end in a top hat, rear end in a top hat. Watching him get progressively more angry in my rear view mirror was delicious.

I don't have a license so, better safe than sorry. I'm just going to chill here in the right turn only lane and not turn on a red even though there's no traffic coming. I'm scared.

I was staring at the light, waiting for it to change. It turned green and immediately, before I even have a chance to move my foot from the brake to the gas, this guy is laying in on his horn. Not a "quick beep" a holding it down, while making an exasperated gesture extended honk.

its safe to say you are 90, asian, and what you thought was the light was actually a neon sign you saw through the space between the steering wheel and the dash

Raise the speed limit by 5 mph, none of this is an issuse, plus you get better gas mileage. 65 mph is too slow, up it to 70, cruise controller at 76 everyone's happy.

I usually do 10-15 over, but what I really hate is when you're following a bunch of cars and the lead car is going a bit slow but whatever, you keep your distance from the car in front but some rear end in a top hat behind you just HAS to sit right on your bumper as though it's your fault some rear end in a top hat five cars up can't get it together to do the posted speed limit.

I also hate when people enter intersections before the exit is clear and end up stuck in the middle on a red light, loving up the other direction's green light. Sydney was loving horrible for that. Often the exit would clear as the pedestrian light went on and these assholes will just barge right on through a big crowd of inner city pedestrians expecting right of way.

I break check tailgaters, I get new cars from them, stop riding my rear end and your insurance rates won't go up, also get 2 dashcams, one for the rear, one foward facing.

I drive in New Jersey and I get honked at all the time for doing things like not turning left on red, allowing pedestrians to finish crossing the crosswalk, and not gleefully mowing down schoolchildren and baby birds. If I escalated or did passive aggressive poo poo like sitting at the light until it turned yellow I'd wind up in a ditch by noon, lol if you antagonize other drivers for honking at your dumb rear end

gently caress all the goons getting on your poo poo for this, I do this to anyone that honks (not blips) their horn within under a second of the light changing. I also like to slow to a roll and use the walk signal signs to time out a yellow light when I have a tailgater or road rager behind me. Only in extreme cases but its a handy skill for ditching an rear end in a top hat driver or some road rager trying to follow you.

Or you can launch your car from a sick burnout and leave them in a cloud of tire smoke :madmax: Really though if some dumb redneck in a pickup truck can actually keep up with me after a corner or two they deserve to beat my skinny white rear end with a baseball bat.

Really though if some rear end in a top hat's going to follow you, just call the cops and keep driving until they find you. Or you can do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDYcfycWVOk

Yes because intentionally getting a car that's following you stuck in a red at an intersection is totally road rage. Or preemptively stopping some rear end in a top hat who's probably going to follow you in the former case. Its not to piss them off, its to get the gently caress away from them.

In all seriousness you should not be reacting at all and if you didn't drive like a wierdo doing things like "preemptively stopping people from following you" nobody would be interested enough to kick your rear end

I mean if a dude's sitting in his car laying on the horn and foaming at the mouth because I didn't launch my car from redline the second the light flipped green, it's a pretty safe assumption to say he's also the type of rear end in a top hat to follow you and continue raging. I usually just move over and let them pass, but on a 1 way with no shoulder I'm ditching them at a light, sorry cars behind the rear end in a top hat! If someone's going to follow me through 3 or more turns, I'm going to drive in an evasive manner and try to get the gently caress away from him. How does that not make any sense to you?

Seriouspost: It doesn't make any sense to us, because it doesn't make any sense. You're literally trying to "evade" an angry driver by making them more angry. "Oh, no, he'll never follow me through a red," was an actual plot to a King of the Hill episode.

I like to think these kinds of people are always at the maximum amount of angry whenever they are behind the wheel and you really can't make it much worse once they decide that YOU'RE the car that's going to make them take 16 minutes instead of 15 to get to wal*mart.
