Have you ever been so furious from car stupidity that you've actually hit the car?

everyone is a moron. Even when i see you on you car/bike....you are a moron (unless you prove otherwise).

I've kicked in doors, smashed off mirrors....but its all in vain, for every moron you fix - 100 take his place.
Its a national thing too - I've had same amount morons in the country where i grew up then in the city.
Everyone is a moron, unless proven sane.

Thinking like that is what has kept me safe for many years, sad but true..everyone out there apart from "me" is a moron...

I too have left an impression in a car door (really wished I hadn't afterwards tho, I had to limp around Paeroa for the rest of the day) Like avgas says; Everyone is a moron, unless proven sane

Yes, someone who very nearly did me major damage and didnt give a shit, even though they saw themselves do it lost a chunk of their wing mirror.

[sunhuntin]

ive had some lunatics pull some stupid stunts, but ive never physically reacted. never had the chance. be just my luck id kill the fuckers.
have started zig-zagging in risky areas [bad intersections, the series of 4 high traffic petrol station/fast food driveways right on top of a light controlled dangerous intersection etc] which has stopped a few from pulling out.

did see something funny in my mirror down our main street. car in front of me parked up [double parked] to let someone out. driver goes to get out, van behind me pulls up alongside and forces the door closed again. lmfao. from half a block away, and through the helmet, i heard the yelling.
i hate vehicles that do that. vic ave is bad enough with reversing cars that dont look, without having cars and vans double parked. the worst is the couriers and money moving vans, when they park directly opposite each other. slows things down huge. couriers should be made to park around the back.

Hmm... Have I ever been tempted to react physically to a car's inappropriate behaviour? To do so is immature and reduces you to their level of stupidity.

But I have a few tips to point out if you do wish to stoop:

1. Wing mirrors usually pivot forwards and backwards on a horizontal plane without damage.
2. Wing mirrors do not usually pivot vertically. Therefore a certain amount of downward pressure will result in permanent damage.
3. Windows are fucking hard to break.
4. Doors are very strong, and not that easy to put a significant dent in on the modern car. Front guards between wheel and headlight assembly are not as strong and deform easily.
5. Toe sliders. They're not just for cornering.
6. Traffic lights/road obstructions ahead. Before engaging in 2-5, think about where you're next going to be stopped.

I scored a triple a couple of years ago on my RGV with my foot. A Mirror with indicator on a brand new Merc driven by a lawyer. Cop said if he had to charge me for taking off the guys mirror then the guy had to be done for reckless or careless driving for almost putting me into the barrier.

Oh how I laughed and laughed

I have an anger problem so I do something stupid in revenge against a cage driver maybe once every few weeks. I'm working on relaxing (starting an anger management course tomorrow actually) but it really feels good to scratch someone's door with toe sliders, or dent a boot lid with a fist.
I know it's bad for me and increasing the amount of unhappiness in the world, but hell...
It will be interesting to see how things change in the next eight weeks of the anger course.

Meh, if something goes wrong on the road, I just get myself out of the sh!t, give the dude a crazy thumbs up, wind it on and get the hell outta there!

[Pancakes]

Yeah, had a new Hyundai roll up to a cross road to the one I was on. I was doing about 40 w/ the light on and she looks both ways slows to near stop then rolls out infront of me! Held on the horn and she kept on at the same speed, I easy rolled around behind the bumper on the oncoming lane (no-one coming) but then she backed up, pulled up next to me and beeped, pulling the finger! I flicked the stand down and gave the plastic bumper a good boot. She took off, black visor and full suit might have staunched her out, I was suprised, she was old and in a lavender knitted cardy that matched her car. The kick was noisy but didn't do anything which also suprised me but was probably for the best. I have also twice pulled in between 4x4's and small bikes (an fx thingy and a little new vespa) on the motorway cos they were at the most a meter away. A real good stare right at them might make them wonder if I'm a bit tuff under the gear (definatly not!) and they both backed way off. The guys on the scooters must have really been shitting themselves, being 1/10th of a second from potential flattening but I am real aware that I'm no better off than they are if the worst happens. I see people being bullied on the roads and need to intervene.

...........starting an anger management course tomorrow actually)..........

I'd consider it myself! I've come close to physical action many times but managed my rage (barely). Not sure how long I can go on though.

Furthermore, as a pedestrian around Wellington's CBD during my lunch hour I also feel tempted to jump up and body slam the bonnet of those cars that try and roll slowly through the crossing just behind your heels. There are few believable arguments when a cage hits a pedestrian on a crossing.

I need help dammit!

5. Toe sliders. They're not just for cornering.

Yeap...Ceramic toesliders are the shit along those that are ignorant's doors

Also, hand gestures work too. Vent your anger from a safe distance...and it's funny how all ingnorant cage driver's know EXACTLY what thumb and forefinger held about an inch apart means......

[Quartermile]

I'm not that experianced but I just tend to get VERY pissed of and proced to bitch later, also driving while angry is very dangerous but still quite fun

[Pancakes]

That does piss me off, some dickhead inadvertantly tries to stick me in a box early then the rest of the ride I make a concious effort to relax and cruise cos I know I'm not as "on to it" when I'm fired up. They steal our mojo. Mojo stealing is just not on!

A boot through a light unit or a mirrorectomy does wonders for drivers awareness of bikes.
