In Cape Town there's a saying, the acronym being, (Jou) MSP and drive off.

The non-road rage alternative would be, drive away from it being glad that no harm came to you or your car.

I just ignore them.

Same when I do something stupid and apologise, they carry on swearing me like it their road... then I just speed off and they cant catch me!:p

Guy why get angry or even over someone else's foolishness.
Just ignore and stay in a good mood, otherwise get angry and stay in a bad mood the whole day.

Exactly, in this incident I had with another driver, I was the fool at a 3 way stop street, I didnt stop, but I cruised through it at about 20 - 30kmph...

This guy gets me at the next robot, I wave my hand and apologise, he just went on and on waving his fists and even rolled down the passenger window to swear me. I just carried on smoking and looking at him, had in first gear incase he decides to jump out of his car.

So I rev my car up and just move foward a bit, but fast, he wasnt even paying attention to the robot and he takes off and goes through a red robot!:p

You know...this is a difficult sittutation...it all depends on your mood at that time. If you were in a jolly mood driving the car you love, you wouldn't even have paid mind to it. Remember its just another ****.

However if you were in a bad mood all you need at that time is a **** being a ****...then I believe you would have acted on your instinct and did what you had to do...some people swear back, other people completely lose it and drive up bihind him follow him home or to the next stop and get out and start causing unwanted crap...road rage is hecitic, seen it countless times, and its stupid too!

everyone also thinks that :( ... to think the watch im wearing is more expensive than the car :rolleyes:

back OT

What i did was drive on his left look at him, he turns his face and looks forward angrily ... im like no ....you .... did .... not ... "you were at the wrong, you cut me off to a point where i had to break and give one small hoot to say, someone's on your side .... and you swore me, all i want is an apology"

So then i went "bos" (as bake&shake puts it :))

Attempted to drive him into the barrier, thought of throwing my gear lock onto his car (just driving in front him and tossing the gear lock into the air) ... i think at this point he realised he should not have sworn at me ... could see the fear in his eyes ... haha ... like i give a **** if i rammed my car into his ...

but honestly i should have just shrugged it off ... it really gets on my nerves when another person never respects you ... the surprising thing im sure he did not realise that the driver in the POS mazda could drive :) ...

Funny thing is this, when i do drive the R1.8M RS, people respect you tons on the road, and now when i drive the POS Mazda i get no respect what so ever ... makes you think about people in general ... trust me he would never have though of swearing me if i was in the porsche ...i want to be respected regardless of what i drive ... we all do ...
