The true dicks of the road, at least in my neck of the woods, are the pick up trucks.
The bigger they get the more obnoxious and annoying their drivers become. Constantly having to go around them because they'll just cruise in the passing lane like they OWN THE DAMN ROAD!! MOVE THE F OVER!!! k, I feel better now... |

Something I notice quite a lot... people around me drive more aggressively when I am in my BMW that when I am in my winter car (Volvo sedan). Started with my 135i several years ago... continues with the M2. More people cut me off, more people speed up when I am creeping past them on cruise control. Not just racer dudes... everyday people in Toyota Matrixes or SUVs. Not like everyone is out to get me... just a noticeable spike in that kind of response.
I tend to just let it go. Especially the Matrix that doesn't want me to pass... not like there was a question who is faster, so why bother? Nothing to prove. To the OP... be very careful and learn to let it go. Almost nothing to gain... but lots of bad scenarios where you lose. |

Even other bmw drivers hate bmw. I was in the middle lane and I see an E92 looking like an M car coming behind from the slow lane and as he gets ahead of me he intentionally acts like he wanted to side swipe me. Begeez of me, startled me like crazy. Kept my cool and life goes on. If I was younger and less wiser I would have gone for this dum-dum and we would have end up with two dum-dum's.

As said before: if the situation risks to escalate, outsmart them by de-escalating. At the traffic lights, let the other car erratically take off with screeching tires while you slowly pull up.

Why on earth the OP would get confrontational, then try to 'catch up with' the other driver, and then ask 'how do I handle road rage' is beyond comprehension. Sounds as though how to handle road rage in this instance is the OP should (1) grow up; or (2) take a prescription chill pill; or (3) go into therapy; or (4) take the bus; or (5) drive a minivan and stay out of trouble. |

On a side note this is one of the best things that has ever happened to me because it potentially saved my life for future encounters and not just road rages. We all come from different backgrounds in life and it may be hard for everyone to relate to where I'm coming from. I've dealt with bad experiences in the past that somehow made me reacted that way. I just want to thank everyone on this forum who gave me good positive feedback as almost everyone here is older than me. I'm turning 30 this year and this was a good opportunity for me to wise up.
