I try not to troll anyone when behind the wheel of something that weighs over a tonne. Seems like a bad idea to me.

I've seen people honk their horns from a far distance as if they're actually very close to hitting the other person. Like when you're making a left turn out of a small street and they're coming from the road on the left - you make it in plenty of time but they still lean on their horn. It seems like they just want to tell the other people off because it's in their nature. You can only shake your head and wonder how sucky their daily life is.

I try not to screw with people while driving. I try really hard, I promise.

Some times I just can't resist.

I'm working on it.

I don't drive as maniacal as I used to. I've done just about everything to piss people off on the road, and nothing has happened to me. So, if someone does something that is obviously stupid I just ignore it or flash my headlights. I don't even get mad son!

Sometimes I would drive on the extreme edge my lane or even right on the lane marker and then the car next to me would keep blowing his horn. I love to mess with people like that who love to use their horns over every little thing.

That's a situation where someone should use their horn, that's not someone using their horn over "every little thing."

Given your recent post history I think you're trolling us, not other drivers. I don't think anyone is as stupid as you claim to be.

Seems like whenever I arrive at a 4 way stop right before another car, they're always intent on rushing to the stop line, not doing a full stop, and crossing the intersection before me. I always come to a full stop, and they try to use that break to cross before me. I'll usually just go ahead anyways, forcing them to stop abruptly while I take my sweet time making the turn.

For people that tailgate, I usually slow right down - 70-80% of the speed limit. I figure, if they want to stick so close, I should drive slower so that if I need to react to something on the road, I won't need to brake so hard.

At a light by my house, there's a small driveway right after the light that goes into a gas station. After the driveway is the crossroad. There's no sign for not turning on red, so people often do.

I typically will, but only after coming to a complete stop - which is what you should be doing at a red light, anyway.

Some people take me stopping as me not turning on red, which in turn causes them to honk.

If I get honked at, I wait for the light to turn green.

And one day, you will meet another car doing the same thing and hit it head on.

What he said. Seriously, there are entirely too many idiots on the road (yourself included, apparently) as it is.

I just give them a honk on this.

I could only imagine what that would (feel) like in the Lincoln tunnel. :biggrin:

That's a distinctly familiar sound, we hear it almost on a daily basis.

The only way one could keep that thing going for long on a truck is if you rigged up your V-8 so four holes are driving and four holes are blowing and you still need a nice sized receiver (tank) to store up the pounds!
