-- for contributing your thoughts --
I have experienced this problem in the past. I used to swear, yell
and call other drivers names if they did something I disapproved of on
the road ahead of me. Now I am trying to overcome this problem. I
listen to music or radio talkshows that I like and that takes my
attention away from most of the aggrivating behaviors of the other
drivers. If you're singing at the top of your lungs to a song you love
it is a little harder to yell and scream. Although this is not a perfect
solution and doesn't always work, it is a start.

Hi Angie! Here's a contribution for you to put in your database file.
I can't stop wanting to be rude to some drivers. Especially when they do
something to make me mad in the first place. One thing that I especially
dislike is when I allow a driver to cut in front of me. For example when
you are at a stop and someone wants to come from the side. I believe
that drivers should acknowledge courteous behavior with courteous
behavior. In other words a little wave is all I ask for, that is not so
hard. At times I find that some people don't do this and so I believe I have
the right to be rude back. In other words I may show it in my facial
expression, or I may tailgate them until we go our separate ways.
I believe a little wave can go a long way!!

I can't stop being rude to rude drivers. People that cut me off don't
us their blinkers. I remember one time I was in the mainland and trying
to make a left hand turn across a very busy highway. This man turned
right without using his blinker into the shopping center right before my
turn. I could have easily made it across if he would have just given me
some indication. It was very inconsiderate. So, when I finally got
across (I mean I had been waiting like five minutes), I took a quick turn
into the shopping center and told him how rude I thought he
was--actually, I didn't use those exact words, but he certainly got the
point.
