Got road raged today.
First time in decades.
I was in the right hand lane looking to move left, since the lane was blocked ahead,
when a truck made a right from the left lane.
Anyway, I stopped with my signal on.
The person behind me on the left stopped to let me in, and the gentleman behind her almost ran into her. Anyway, two lights later he weaves through traffic enough to start screaming at me.
i told him "hey I stopped, you're they guy who almost plowed into someone", but I don't think he understood.

I had stopped and expected to wait partially because this guy was weaving through very heavy traffic up to 70 k at times.

I guess all his near misses were obviously someone else's fault to him.

All in all, I'm glad to be heading back to the land of no traffic tonight.

I feel sorry for you folks that live here, as things seem to be getting worse.

Soon you'll all have to start riding bicycles to get anywhere.

Bicycles are not a bad idea (despite what Rob Ford used to say). All the people who can bike to the office should do it, especially if they live in Toronto. We do not need one more car on the road. Also, some people should not be driving at all, no matter what. Horrible drivers: Either ride your bike, or use the TTC.
 
I also had an incident recently. I want to know if I was wrong.

Before the intersection the road has two lanes. I made a right on red on to a new lane from the highway off ramp. If the driver would have been signaling I wouldn't have made the turn.


Basically the red line is the other driver and I was the green line.

Don't take it personally. The guy was probably waiting to get mad at someone. I just ignore them.
 
Don't you just love people who live off blaming someone else because they can't accept responsibility for their own inattention.

Seems like you ran into one of those types of goofs.
 
Pulling my 7x12 trailer today, taking it nice and easy, a civic in the left lane sitting at the red light, on balding winter tires, cracked windshield, and overall poor mechanical condition, misses the green light due to ofcourse checking his cell phone. I'm in the right lane, accelerate normally, and merge into left lane in front of him as Hwy 9 goes to single lane.

He then proceeds to tail gate me for the next 3 kms as both me and him catch up and get stuck behind an idiot whos doing 70 in an 80. I mean, if my ramp was down his bumper would be over the ramps. Finally the road opens up to two lanes and i accelerate around the slow poke. At the next set of lights, i look over and the Civic guy is eye balling me. So i lower my window and he proceeds to "warn" me how i drive like a douchenozzle and how "my days coming". Shockingly i ask him if he know the meaning of a hypocrite and if i should lower my ramp, since he obviously wants on my trailer real bad. He mumlbes some other words and takes off. For the next several km's i watched him weave in n out of traffic as he continued tailgating and passing people.

Honestly, do these people have no idea of how hyprocritical they sound? I mean, yea, i accelerated ahead of you from a light and had to merge infront of you, next time, pay attention and you wont have a Jeep hauling a trailer doing 10 over infront of you...Oh the humanity!/
 
Then there was the guy driving solo in the HOV lanes blowing his horn at a cabbie that stopped for a fare.....
