So our students are back on campus here in Fayetteville, and traffic is crazy as hell. One of our local newscasters was interviewing the Chief of University Police about traffic and such when this happened:

Once he (road rager) left the vehicle I'd have floored it and "subdued" him between the bumpers...

So they sped up to me a minute later and the passenger was like "You cut us off!" and I'm like "Huh?" and he says it again "YOU CUT US OFF, BITCH!". I was like "*shrug*... My bad". The driver just got this pissed off look and sped off.

With the way the passenger was acting, I'm 100% sure there would have been a physical altercation at the next light had I quipped back.

Not worth it, in my opinion.

My worst one was when I was backing out of a parking spot. As I'm backing out, the person in the spot opposite me starts backing out and keeps on backing without ever checking her rear view. I quickly switch from R to D, lay on the horn, and move back into my spot. The dumb bitch then flips ME the bird. Something about the fact that she perceived the fault as mine (when I was in motion and almost out of my spot before she ever started backing up and then I had to do evasive driving to avoid a wreck with her oblivious ass) just infuriated me. I rolled down the windows, gave her a big "**** YOU, YOU DUMB BITCH" and then went about my business.

Oh, but then we both got stuck in traffic leaving the parking lot with me right behind her. That was kind of awkward.

I've had that happen more than a couple of times, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has felt awkward when stuck behind them at a light. I'm a very mild mannered, easy going, easy to get along with, mother****er. Put me behind the wheel of a car though and all bets are off. I go zero to defcom 5 in a heartbeat, and get pretty raw verbally. I've been ready to fight on more than one occasion and am lucky it's never come to that, because best case it leads to criminal charges, and worst case I go into a pine box.

If you add up all the string of town in NWA: Bella Vista to Fayetteville, its about the size of Tulsa, isn't it?

I don't really get road rage but i do get a kick out of it when people rage on me. It's probably not the best thing to do, but i like to taunt them when they get mad, watch them get REALLY mad.

The one thing that does irritate me though is when you are about to switch lanes, have plenty of room to do so, throw on your turn signal....and then the asshole behind you speeds up to close the gap. That's how you know you're just being a dick.

Similar. I think we're getting close to 500k for the region. The problem with Fayetteville is that it isn't built to handle that kind of traffic, AT ALL. It especially isn't built to deal with a yearly influx of 25k students around the University area, probably a common problem for college towns.

Mellow guy but road rage makes people crazy.

how I deal with PHX traffic, I drive a 74 plymouth, flat black with red rims and headlights,
DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE INSURANCE????

people give me space, and yes I do have insurance

Don't know how you can live there and not get on the 101_17_10 at some point but nice job.

Yea I don't either. I commute the 101 and I don't think it is all that bad. I do 75-80 in the far lanes and never have problems. It's the tards doing 60 and staying in the far right lane for miles that **** everything up.

Absolutely. And the HOV lane rocks.
