3) I'm bored. I drive a stick shift, it's mildly amusing to inch up.
LOL I like the last one. All valid reasons. I occassionally do it by accident or if I think the light is about to change.

I understand that reason completely. I mean the ones who inch up that are like 4 or 5 cars behind the first car at the stoplight. They are not doing it to make the light go green.
To annoy them I'll move up as well and then they move up....its hillarious.
i used to have really bad road rage (i started driving in Jersey, its practically taught in drivers ed ) but as time went by i learned to just let go of my anger and shrug it off.
if i had an SO who had awful road rage it would raise a red flag. i would keep an eye out and make sure that other drivers were the only thing that made them lose their temper and it wasnt something characteristic of them. i wouldnt want to be involved with someone who loses their temper easily.
Do you have road rage? I do. I have no idea why other drivers irrate me so much and why I take it so personally. If you do have road rage does it bother your SO? Also lets all list your driving pet peeves. I have so many:
1. tailgaters....mostly those tailgaters who are tailgating you when you are already going over the speed limit by 10km.
2. driverws who cut you off and then drive slow in front of you.
3. drivers who speed especially in a residential area where there are kids playing everywhere
4. drivers who don't know how to merge
5. drivers who are at a stoplight and the light has been red for 2 minutes and you are behind them and then for no reason they move their care up a few inches and the light is still red....psychos
I wouldnt say it puts me in a rage but all annoy me except 5.
My ex used to tailgate, in my car, in heavy city traffic and it would drive me nuts. But on the open road or interstate he was a slooowwww driver. I was usually pissed by the time we got any where so I started doing most of the driving. Once we were were traveling the interstate speed limit 70. He was following a semi at 55. I finially had to say something and he explained if you follow the semi's you wont get a ticket. I think I screamed but the frigin speed limit is 70 and your going 55!

I am guilty of #5. I usually do it when my foot or ankle feels 'cramped' (e.g. been driving for an hour), and I ease off the brake at a stop light to get some relief
Didn't know other drivers could get bothered by it.
I have to say what annoys me the most is elderly drivers. I swear they need to have a law stating once you are 65 and entitled to Medicare your license should be revoked (sorry to all the able and strong 65+ year olds) but they are the worst. They drive slow in front of you, never let you get around, stop suddenly, never make a right on red, and i can go on and on and on and on....... I cannot tell you how many times an older person has almost hit me because they cannot steady themselves while driving.
I also hate when ppl blown as soon as the light turns green, like really can I move my foot from the brake to the gas?
Another thing (lol) I hate is when ppl drive under the speed limit in the fast lane and get an attitude when you speed around them, just get out the fast lane!
Last thing I will list is I hate drivers who (on a side street) stop suddenly in front of you for whatever reason, double park and never leave enough space for you to pass and get mad at you for blowing your horn for them to move the hell out of the way!

Owww, I feel good letting the rage be heard, lol.
Oh I don't know, I think traffic court is full of all ages and both genders. Some statistics say teen-age girls are among the worst.

I say that because most of the time they are the ones that do the things that make the rage come out.
