| - i cannot drive with full concentration withour side-rear-view-mirrors on both sides and one rear-view-mirror in cabin. - i cannot reverse without those mirrors again! - i honks a bit more than required. - i have this bad habit of reaching 50-55kmph on red-going-green-lights asap, while checking my "reaction time". luckily, never banged in other vehicles still crossing the road! - in nights i always feels the need to upgrade my headlamps, no matter how good illumination they are providing. - i've this bad habit of prodding my head over the shoulders of puncture-repair-guys to check for any unchecked puncture. - i always curses the drivers in front of me on a red-light on an incline, who cannot hold their cars from rolling back for abt 6-8 inches before moving ahead. if these can be termed as road rage or else, then i am guilty.

| BANNED  | AARRRRRRRRRggggghhhhh! The old way...  I used to freak out & abuse absolutely everything on the road that I saw wrong... New directions for sanity retention... Now it's a little simpler: a. Power the windows up; b. Hit the aircon switch; c. Crank up the sound, & d. Simply drive like nobody else is on the road. When forced to stop / swerve, I do swear creatively (all sorts of incestuous combinations come to mind), but now I do it with the windows up & a cheesed off expression on my face... it's simpler this way: a. You don't thrash / get thrashed; b. You don't wear out your window roller mechanism repeatedly; c. You don't wear out your lungs trying to abuse & be heard over traffic noise; d. You get to say what you want to say & let off steam, the recipient doesn't hear you, & all are happy. Try it sometime... Note from support staff: Post edited.

| I used to have a rule that nobody should overtake me on the Interstate. So, from 1995 to 1999 no one did! This made for some entertaining drives!! I especially remember the time when I made a 220 mile trip in 2 hours and 20 minutes (from Hillsboro to Hillside in Illinois, USA). The guy in the Mercedes E-Class had to be taught a lesson, you see!! Maximum speed clocked that day - 135 miles/hour!!! I miss my white 1995 Nissan Maxima PS: My current car is a comfortable but not so entertaining black Lexus ES Note from support staff: Post edited.

| BHPian  | heres my story: - lots of honking to make sure theres enough warning/awareness among others - overtaking from left if the right lane guy is moving slow - tit for tat to high beamers at night - race mode most of the time in-city with speeding and overtaking - driving car like a bike, zig-zag driving! - cutting across lanes if i find others are moving slow - sharp/precise last minute braking at most times (does wonders for the FE doesnt it  )- can't let anyone overtake me, especially the fast moviers as far as i can do something about it - extra cautious with autorikshaws and cyclists!! - sometimes get carried away with speeding in city with all pumped up so need to calm down, not go beyond the limits - i have to be race ahead of everyone at each traffic light GP, coming 2nd is not an option!! |

| Hiya, A) Overtaking on highways has become a habit. I just have to. Its like a spped run. I'm not rash but unnecessarily fast. B) Last time a biker touched his front wheel to my rear bumper, like 8 times in a row just for kicks, I had his happiness and deflated his tyres.. SORRY IF YOU'RE READING THIS. BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT YOU're AT Team-BHP.  C) Once and only once and never again , I had 8 shots of tequila and was behind my optra  .. I saw the pavement on my left and a light thud while turning. Next morning the running board had run away..D) I was mad at my GF and she loved pets. One day it was a stray dog, both of us and the highway.. Guess what happened .. That was the end of us. He died, she screamed and i went looking for a new GF. Now I have a pet dog. No offence anyone,, To sane driving, Cheers, dMH |

Well here is mine 1. I overtake from the left a lot, mostly when there is slow moving traffic on the right lane who don't give a damn and stay there crawling---i do the same 2. Shout at every biker, auto walla, other vehicles who come to the wrong side of the road - road rage personified SAME & KICK THERE ***`3. Honk at times when the guy in front doesnt give me way and this only when he/she can definitely move to the side and let me pass AGREE WITH U 4. Don't encourage beggars (especially kids) and at-the-signal vendors--HATE THERE PICE OF CLOTH CLEANING THE CAR 5. I do overspeed withint the city just for the kicks 6. Don't wear my seatbelt at times--CANT DRIVE ONLY WIT THEM ON 7. Flash my high beams at anyone who's on high beams coming in the opp. side....SAME AS UR 8.

| 1. I overtake from the left a lot, mostly when there is slow moving traffic on the right lane who don't give a damn and stay there crawling -- Me too 2. Shout at every biker, auto walla, other vehicles who come to the wrong side of the road - road rage personified -- I'd like to buy an old truck and run them over 3. Honk at times when the guy in front doesnt give me way and this only when he/she can definitely move to the side and let me pass -- rev up the engine and scare the bejesus out of them 4. Don't encourage beggars (especially kids) and at-the-signal vendors -- No beggars. 5. I do over speed within the city just for the kicks-- Not for kicks. Not unless it's an emergency. 6. Don't wear my seatbelt at times -- wear it always its got style 7. Flash my high beams at anyone who's on high beams coming in the opp. side -- Planning to put 200 watt lamps for these idiots 8. Sometimes am not courteous to pedestrains with traffic breathing down my neck -- Never 9. Look like I'm in a hurry when travelling long distances, I do say I am a careful driver and dont take too many risks but am reckless at times -- Almost never |
