Yah, but going from the NYC/Boston/Philly(and dc but i'm never down there driving) to suburban and rural pennsylvania is a huuuuge difference in terms of drivers. Coming out of Philly I usually have a sudden revelation that I'm just being an asshole here and unnecessarily aggressive whereas in Philly if you're timid you usually end up pissing other drivers off more.

Do you ever drive on 422? Fuck everyone and their family on 422. My roommate is a long time friend of mine and he used to live outside Philly and I had to take 422 to go visit him every time. Everyone on that road HAS to be retarded.

Traffic here sucks bad. I had to wait for 6 or 7 cars to go by before I could pull out of my driveway just the other day.

This is Either East or West depending on the time of day on the LIE in NY. Everyday from 7-9 and 4-7 the highway looks like this. 2 hours from Queens to my house. Thats why I'm always stocked with the best Podcasts.

I'm beyond angry when I drive. I really enjoy driving but when there's lots of traffic or the guy in front of me doesn't drive the way I would, I shout obscenities, flip people off, tailgate people, I even threaten to get out and fight people in extreme cases. The way it usually goes is:
> I'm fine, enjoying the drive.
> Guy in front of me nearly comes to a complete stop while turning into a parking lot. Irritation level has skipped yellow and moved straight to orange. "Fucking douche."
> Put some music on and chill out.
> Guy now in front of me decides to wait for 20 cars to pass so he can make an illegal left, holding up traffic behind him. Irritation level red. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Hit the horn.
> Guy finally turns, roll my window down, stick out finger. Let the people behind me know I'm not fucking around as I nearly clip his bumper accelerating past him.
> Get on highway, always packed because city is overcrowded. 47 minutes to go two exits (true story). Shouting commences, beating of the steering wheel too. "Come on you motherfuckers! Goddamnit I hate these fucking people, move back to CA/NY/FL!" based on nearest license plate.
> Switch from The Beatles to Slayer.
> Guy in front of me is not paying attention, huge gap between him and next car, other cars taking advantage and filling the empty lane. Lay on the horn, "WTF ASSHOLE!?!" Wild gestures.
> Guy in front sees my obvious melt happening, decides he should throw arms up in the air and mouth "fuck you bro" in the mirror. Pull into the next lane and get next to him, give him the finger and look him the eye as I pretend to veer towards him for a sideswipe. Get in front of guy and pull into his lane, brake check him repeatedly. Continue giving him the finger. Guy stays back and someone else pulls in front of him, because he's a shitty driver who leaves huge gaps in creeping slow lanes.
> Get off the highway to save time, driving down street, calming down, old person in Buick pulls in front of me. Rides his brakes the entire time, lights flickering on and off. Pull into other lane to pass, but so does he and without using a signal. Eye twitch begins. Pull into other lane but someone is turning left and blocking the lane. "GRRRRRR!" Gripping the wheel too tightly. Admit defeat and get back into the lane with the old guy in Buick, but now he's turning, and slows to 5 mph while doing so. Everything is red now.
> Continue up the street, run into a funeral procession of asian people. Complete melt. Screaming, cussing, beating of wheel, insults to nonexistent god, baseless and vague threats to society in general, etc. Begin to worry about blood pressure and increased chance of stroke or heart attack. Accuse the entire world except for me of being homosexual racial slurs. Get tired of being angry and start thinking about having rough sex. Arrive at destination angry, frustrated, and horny.

Wut? They arrest you for that? In my state they just suspend your license and send you a letter. Then a whole bunch of stupid horseshit and money at the DMV.
Not always, I've seen people in jail for seat belt tickets before. A parking ticket is usually that way, but like a ticket a cop gives you for a traffic violation if you don't pay it a lot of times they will issue a warrant.

On rare occasions I'll get a little pissed driving if I'm going to be late somewhere on account of people doing stupid stuff. I really try to not get angry about anything though.

this, this, and... this. I can be a huge dick on the road. But, as Gumby said, it's kind of hard not to be in NJ. People are either trying to kill you (when already doing 80+ on interstates) by going 95, no blinkers, swerving in and out of lanes, or we got PA drivers doin' a steady 45 on interstates, in the left, middle and right lanes, essentially completely and utterly RUINING YOUR FUCKING DAY I just got stopped in DE for 62 in a 45. Woops No ticket though!
edit- it's always funny to me when you can tell where a person spends most of their time behind the wheel by watching them react to my driving. Anyone who drives in the city regularly never thinks twice about how I drive and often encourage me to make moves that even I consider too dangerous, others absolutely freak out the second you do a rolling stop

omg, I know that feel. Same thing on 278 on Staten Island. Once waited 45 minutes from the toll getting over the Goethals to the first fucking exit, which is like, what, a 20 second drive normally? feels super GOOD, man

I'm pretty positive I have, but it's definitely not a regular thing. I use 95, 76(ahhhh), 611, and occasionally rt 1 depending on where I'm headed. All of those during rush hour suck, but 76 is just a clusterfuck every single day during rush hour. You can tell which people are used to the traffic flow and going from 60 to a dead stop in a few seconds because they learn that tailgating=rear ending the car infront of you.
I've seen firetrucks use it shoving their way through already bumper to bumper traffic, and then fucking break down on the highway( ). Sometimes there's big fires raging off of the side of the road in some random outerlying philly 'hood and most of the time it just clogs up even without accidents because of how narrow the road is and because pennsylvania roads are just a clusterfuck of constant construction anyway.
route 76 is probably the reason I started smoking when I first moved down there and was commuting on it a lot and always sitting there parked and bored. Fuck that road, that is one of the few things in this world that I truly hate.
Also I distinctly remember a guy actually got shot and killed by a car in the other lane on 76, it was definitely on a part of it that runs through philly tho. And it has the word kill in it's formal name.
Fuck you schuykill expressway you outdated poorly designed fucker.

This thread is hilarious. In all honesty I don't road rage anymore but I used to quite a bit but it only took me like 4 years to snap out of it. Might be a different story if I lived elsewhere but meh.
Seeing you guys suffer like I used to is entertaining.

I totally don't road rage at people. just at...roads.
But if someone is sitting in the left lane with a parade of cars behind them I think it is totally reasonable to tailgate them relentlessly, that's about as bad as I get. Getting cut off is really not that big a deal 90% of the time, everyone does it sometimes and I can't believe that some people actually get pissed off enough to road rage. Actually once someone followed me(drove to the police station and that solved the problem pretty fast and made me chuckle) because I accidentally cut them off. Wtf, really? Don't you have shit to do and places to be?

Pretty much everyone on the road is a fucking imbecile, because we give licenses to anyone with a pulse. Out of the places I have driven, Montana seems to have the best drivers. And nice, long, open roads.
