    in bold...

    I have no problems admitting there is road rage or people getting cut off... all i've been saying is being cut off can be prevented by not driving like an idiot... and I've also further stated that once in a blue moon u can't avoid from being cut off, which happens and I won't deny.... if you think you're being victimized of frequent cut offs, you are a moving hazard... stop driving, or atleast get out of the way of others...

    Please do not discredit wikipedia. its a great form of resource.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...eaknesses.2C_and_article_quality_in_Wikipedia

    If you do not use the internet as an information source then I guess you are more backward than I thought.

    You could easily google road rage yourself, or do you not believe in using google either?

    An Article from http://roadragers.com/

    "Road Rage is More Common Than You Think...

    Have you followed?
    Have you ever followed someone that has angered you on the road?

    Never
    I did this once
    I have done this on multiple occasions


    People easily grow tired of the "idiots" they see on roads every day. Many develop road rage by giving in to their own frustration.

    The only problem with giving in to road rage is that it can often get you into a lot of trouble. Others can be just as enraged as you are, and their reaction to you may be down right dangerous.

    You should always avoid road rage. Back off and calm down. This is hard for some people. Still, it would be nice to let them know how you feel, without endangering yourself or the general public.

    Don't give in to road rage. Don't get mad, get even! You came to the right place. Here at the RoadRagers.com web site you may fill out a **FREE** Road Ragers citation and report an alleged offense. Instead of flipping a finger, run your fingers over your keyboard by submitting their vehicle make model and license number - It will make you feel so much better!

    Many of our visitors also use our free Driving Style Analysis. You may use this test as an indicator of how you drive.

    There are many others just like you in our Discussion Board. Drop in and get involved with a discussion about Road Rage or Driving."



    I guess you are going to discredit all these sites as well, that's fine live in your shell =) I have no complex on where you live, however, it looks like you do have one. Why else would yo be so embarrased to even say it. I mean, just say it loud and proud son. I personally couldn't care less where you live. The only reason I keep bringing it up is because where you live is directly related to the argument, because ppl from diff countries and cities experience different things, one day when you have the opportunity to travel, you will understand what I am saying.

    And all I said abt small town folks is that they PROBABLY experience less road rage, which is a fair assumption, given all circumstances.

    "if you think you're being victimized of frequent cut offs"
    Btw, please don't assume that I have many accidents or constantly have road rage. Remember what they say, assume makes an ass of you and me ;) I never said that I frequently get cutoff in any of my post and you are really starting to look like a raging lunatic. I am just happy you are finally acknowlging the existence of road rage and its many forms. Great that you backed away from your crazy arguments. Thanks for agreeing =) and Welcome to reality.

    Wiki is discredited because ANYONE can alter the information established on their website... my 7 year old kid cousin can go in there and add road rage is caused by spilling her juice the lawn in the morning...

    I never said anything about other websites, and I can't discredit those in which I have not seen/read... Wiki is great for general knowledge, but it holds almost no water when it comes to proving fact because of its nature... I realize the internet is a great source for info, but not everything u read on the interweb is credible...

    I dont' bother to tell you where I live because it doesn't matter... again i'm not embarrased, I take pride in knowing I don't have to share my roads with an idiot like yourself... you keep saying you don't care... then use a different argument... if location is your primary arguement being used to disprove my statements then all you're proving is what YOU YOURSELF experience... what I say can be said and used everywhere(but i guess with the exception of when people drive within 5miles of you)... funny how u're telling me to travel when all you do is talk about your own experience driving under YOUR conditions... I'm generalizing driving in general... damn you're so cultured when it comes to driving...

    fair assumption? you've been ripping me about how I have no comprehension about what road rage is because I live in a "small town"(btw u still don't know where I live so your argument is still invalid) that's a fair assumption? because I live in a "small town" I more than likely have less knowledge than my big city counterpart? well your "fair" sucks quite frankly...

    dude please re read my posts, never have I EVER said road rage does not exist... I've acknowledged everything I had said in my previous post since my very first post...

    "you are either ignorant or very very naive. this happens all the time, its called accidents or sometimes you hit the breaks just in time and hence, road rage."

    u read that quote of urs? notice the bold... I guess my english is bad because I could have sworn that what is in bold could also mean frequent... and since road rage occurs "all the time" I'm assuming you're talking about road rage from getting cut off because that's what the topic was to begin with... see, what that would mean is you experience these road rages that happens "all the time"... and by your definition of road rage, its from being cut off... again you can't experience road rage unless you are in the driver seat or the passenger's seat or you are a victim... in which case it would mean you were cut off... so that would mean you or your friend have been cut off "all the time"... otherwise you wouldn't be able to make that statement and then your argument would be invalid... like all your other previous posts...

    now either you do get cut off all the time or that statement means NOTHING, which makes ur argument mean NOTHING...

    and ur telling me not to assume things? when you've been assuming that I live in a small town this entire time... atleast when I make the assumptions I have valid arguments... you don't know where I live!... good job ya hypocrite!*notice how I used a credible internet source*

    I have to admit when I get behind the wheel of a car, I am a different person! You sometimes think, why can't other drivers drive the same way. I sometimes feel like I am going to just lose it and go tell the other drivers where to go!

    -clapclap nice try too bad your arguments are all what's that word?? "moot" because you keep repeating yourself. and the all the time was part of an article i was quoting. I have grown tired of you and you have stopped being interesting to me.

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/road rage

    and when I talk about my experiences, i am refering to europe, london, us and asia ;) yes i am that fortunate =D BUT all in big cities.


    NOW back to the original discussion:

    TRUE or FALSE does road rage exist?

    wow you're seriously one pompus little trip u know that? it doesn't matter how many places you've driven in when u dont' know how to drive... and please don't even push this crap about how u're so much better off because you got to travel it just proves how much of a... sorry I just lost it there, I won't stoop to your level -noclue

    and what quote are u talking about? who were u quoting? urself? that link doesn't show what u quoted at all... no where does it say "all the time" and even if it did... you didn't quote anything, you paraphrased(which you didn't)... good job trying to stay on the up...

    well since you've given up that's not my problem, but I guess I'll end it by answering the question... True, road rage exists... but that wasn't the original question so hurray for reading comprehension -rolleyes

    Getting cut off creates a bit of road rage because it's an insult to the driver on the receiving end of it. Lives are at stake when people drive without consideration for others. That's why it's been sometimes said when one drives, watch how other people drive and act accordingly.

    My mommy D: Well, I guess she doesn't do it anymore, but when my brothers and I were younger, we used to piss her off while she was driving. She'd get so mad that she'd start speeding up and she told us to shut up or she'd drive the car into a wall. Maybe that's why I hate driving so much =_=;.

    Road rage INSIDE the car. Scary stuff :\

    Lol. My sister was like that before. I hate to be in the car with her when she's pissed off at someone. Now, I guess she's driving safer after she became a mother.

    Wiki is a great place to start research but never a good place to end

    I think all drivers get road rage, some are just more discreet than others
