Sorry all but this morning on the way to work I reckoned I came across the ultimate peanut.
Cruising along at 80 k's with all the other traffic this tool decides to pull into the traffic from a servo. He couldve waited 10 seconds as there was no traffic behind me in my lane.
OK, so he pulls out and just crawls along. I thought the right thing to do was give it a bit so you dont slow the traffic down. He just tools along at 15 k's causing me to break heavily. I flash my hi-beams at him and he goes ballistic, the finger, multiple hand gestures, head wobbles the whole bit. I thought this guys a psycho so I pulled into the nest lane and went past him. I know it was naughty but as I went past I looked sideways and he is going purple in the face so I blew him a kiss. Bloody hell, I thought he was gonna have a heart attack.
He couldnt keep up so I forgot about it. About 5 k's down the road he is still trying to catch up with me so I put my blinker on and turn into a side street waving for him to follow me. The hero slowed down but when I got out he took off. I bet he has a stressful day, probably take him until lunch time to calm down.
Does anyone else get this crap or this just a n example of living in a big city??

Yeah, I come across peanuts all the time, but don't think I've had one that bad, probably they've driven as badly but not reacted as badly.

We all make mistakes at times, the thing to do is to apologise for them, not get aggressive!

I was driving a while ago doing 8 to 10 over the limit as it was when a bloke tore up behind me beeping his horn and flashing his headlights. As it was a single lane road with nowhere to pull off I kept up my steady pace till we stop at the next set of lights. This other bloke jumped out of his car and started walking over. I had just changed a tyre and had a wheel brace in the car so I picked it up, showed him and smiled. He quickly jumped back into his car and locked the doors.

I calmly drove away and he stayed well behind after that.

Once when I was younger drving my car I brake tested a biker on the motorway in the UK. Silly, but there you go.
He was jammed up my ass and getting on my nerves. I might have given him the finger. He spent the next half hour chasing me down the freeway trying to kick my door in with his hobnail boots. It was like Terminator 2. He wouldn't stop.
No way was I going to stop and show him how hopeless I am at fighting.
I managed to make him dizzy by pulling off the motorway and driving round and round a roundabout for about 20 minutes. He got fed up ( or got low on petrol) and rode off.

Ah KA, you're probably close to the truth with the word peanut. Purple in the face, wild hand gestures, wobbling head, the poor guy's obviously choking on a peanut just purchased from the servo and is going anoxic. And you show no sympathy!

Nah, tools like that are everywhere.

My car has an inbuilt peanut attracting unit. I feel for you ka43, that sort of thing happens to me all time, you see them ahead and you just know they are going to pull in and do 40Kms per hour despite the fact that there is no traffic behind you.

The other one I hate is when these geriatrics get in the right hand lane and won't move.

Yeah I had an old couple in a caravan pull out from a rest stop straight in front of me when I was driving from Geraldton to Perth, locked the brakes up and only just stoped in time. noone behind me either.

Dont get me started on people who might want to make a right hand turm in the next 10 k's or so so they sit in the right hand lane despite the giant signs saying "Keep left unless overtaking"
Mikey, I never thought of him choking, he must be able to hold his breath for a long time
While we are on the subject, why do truck drivers have this urge to sit 20 cms from your tailgate????
Bumper to bumper traffic, normal speeds etc. Is it a pre-requisite for a truck license??

THAT WAS YOU WAS IT!!!!!

Just joking.

I had a similar incident on the water with a kite surfer.He tried to out point me and there was no way i was gunna go under his lines . Even tho a kite is not a sailing craft i had right of way (starboard tack). He lost it and chased me around for about half an hour yelling and sreaming blue murder while i was getting some nice rides lol.
When i got back to the beach there was no sign of him......
What a goose.

i took the road down to woodies before the cement factory as a semi drag strip. the big truck i had turned in front of when turning down the road earlier with no possibility of holding him up did the same and when i looked in the mirror before slowing down all i could see was a grill plate. fooken scary, i didnt know macks could go that fast (only 80 or so but thats fast for that road)
probably tail gating cus he could see the plates.

I wouldn't advise doing what you did bud, I counsel guys that have been up for GBH and one even for murder for road rage, pick the wrong guy and could be the last thing you do........ Best to ignore, anything that leads to escalation can get scary!!!!!!

My first instinct is to wanna fight, then my frontal lobes kick in and I get wise, and leave it, just know what can happen. Just recently Without going into details, a serious road rager met his match having a go at someone for not indicating, and the guy went mental, ramming his car, and proceededing to run him off the road and caused $15,000.00 worth of damage to his car, and he was so scared from being rammed repetitively, that he didn't get the number plate, and no witnesses wanted to get involved. This guy had been road raging others all his life, and just met someone madder and badder than he was!!!!!

i must be getting really mellow.
i just get upset, and like to put distance between my self and any potential a*oles.
but...
i do hate ppl that do 10k under the limit for now apparent reason.
ppl that go over the speed limit and tailgate me as if it's my fault they're going to be late from their own bad time management.
i just smile at cars racing past me in the right lane, and pray to see the blue lights.

I just want to be rich enough, to slam my brakes on the tailgaters
and ram the cars that cut corners as i'm approaching them

ahhhh, feel so much better now. and can't see anyone lying around dead

Well it's obviousily illegal for people to go over the limit but i'm prity sure if you go 10km/h or more under the speed limit, you can get pulled over for holding up traffic or something.

I do reckon you would have to be prity unlucky to be pulled over and the cop would have to be in the worst mood. However when my brother did his final exam to get his P's if he went 10km/h under, even on like a backroad with no cars it counted as breaking the law which means you cant get your P's if you break even one minor law.

Another silly one is at the very end when you park, one of my brothers mates forgot to indicate when he pulled into the park and could have failed, but the guy let him off with a late indication. They pick you up on such minor details it would be so annoying.

There is a solution to all this madness!!
All thats needs to be done is make electordes in the drivers seat compulsory. A high tech sensor will tell if anything wrong is done, and WHAM drivers get 30000volts up their ring!![}:)]
Or for better insentive, repeated offenders must attatch them to their peanuts. (Roasted peanuts taste better)
