Gus 5 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 I'm of the opinion that if you aren't looking for trouble, it doesn't find you. +1 - can't recall having any issues. Although it sounds like a great excuse for speeding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 All this year I've been driving along, maintaining a good following distance, not speeding, letting people merge when they wanted to regardless of whether they were being a d*ck about it and I haven't had a single road rage incident or been stopped by the police. It's really strange. It was the same last year and the one before that and basically as long as I can remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linden 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) A couple of weekends ago I had to sneak through 3 red lights, hopefully i didnt get pinged by a camera... I was about to pull onto Bealey ave from Sherbone and about 50m from the lights there was a dodgy looking Guy standing in the middle of the road. Having no patience for f**kwits I didnt go around and stopped infront of him... It was then he looked up with a P crazed look at which point i decided it would be best to go around. As I drove past he started yelling 'did you fkn run over it' and started following the car, having great luck I was stuck on a red light too. I snuck through 3 sets of red lights as he was chasing the car (he was pretty fast actually) and he looked like he had a large weapon concealed under his shirt....

Apex 693 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 Im sure its linked to what car you are driving and the impression upon the road rager. If you are driving a piece of crap then you are most likely to be looked over, but if driving anything that they're jealous of then you're sure to get more attention, be it the fuzz or crazy bro's. Defiantly, living in Papakura and travelling around South Auckland we had large counts of road rage when we had the E60 545i, most people wouldn’t let you in because they were jealous of the car, some people would actually go out their way to block you from passing or pulling out, no waves to pull in, would sometimes take an age to pull onto a busy street. Everyone hated the driver, middle class people, just average Joes, jealousy shines through, you’d get dirty looks just filling it with gas.. Showy cars can be quite embarrassing and annoying, Mum and Dad have always experienced the same with new BMW's over the years…Funny thing is, your more than likely to receive respect and good manners if driving a $90,000 Yank tank or Australian car than you are driving a $25,000 Euro.
