Porsche road rage!


ORIGINAL: Robertb

My rules of thumb-

1. Avoid confrontation in the first place by being courteous, and not driving in an aggressive/arrogant way.
2. If someone does something to you, before reacting, count to ten
3. Keep things in perspective. Does it really matter in the scheme of things if someone in a chavster/white van reckons they've got one over on you?
4. Remember you can go to jail if you are connected with an accident where eye witnesses mention 'racing'.
5. There are some psychos about. Don't start something you might not be able to finish assuming you end up actually out of your car and face to face with the other driver. At the end of the day, what do you actually consider a 'win' in a road rage situation?

Life's too short. Don't make it shorter by letting the red mist take over.

Just joking.
Sound advice. I get little to no road rage in my 1990 C2. Used to get loads in other cars.
Perhaps it is me that has mellowed, or perhaps I just relax and enjoy the drive instead of worrying about others. I also don't race / compete unless the other driver smiles and we have a short sprint, just for fun. Did this in Kidderminster a short while back with a Caterham 7. Half mile drag race. Great fun. Both ended up smiling. Who cares who wins.
Enjoy.
 
Interesting advert yesterday...

Got spat at by the driver of an Anglian Windows van who was coming the other way through our village. Charming.

Well, I know who I WONT be using for double glazing should I ever have the need!
