There's nothing wrong with being frustrated. Everyone gets frustrated in traffic. Its the nature of the beast. The problem is this endless stream of daily stories about this stupid unpleasant woman doing this to me, or that butthole doing that to me, etc., etc. Problem 1) I don't believe that just a few people can have so regular a stream of traffic incidents. You guys are either very inattentive drivers, or you're just making this stuff up. Problem 2) A steady stream of anecdotes pointing out the inepbreastude of others is naught more than a thinly veiled shout for attention -- look at me! see how great I am! all these other sloths are jerks, but i'm better than all of them! I've been in the transportation industry for over 30 years, and one thing I've learned is that those who make a point of telling you how good they are, usually aren't.

Mature response. That's good.
Unwarranted buttumption. Where's Arif -- doesn't he monitor these things?

Possibly true, but irrelevant to my comment.
Nothing illegal, so far as I can tell, but he flipped you off because you were f***ing with him. That's easy to see. I don't advocate that response, but that's my analysis. He was clearly in a rush (no judgement as to why, or on his methods - irrelevant to your question) You said you moved to the right to pbutt vehicle 1 in front of you, and then when van moved over behind you you deliberately held your speed down. When van moved back left, you sped up and pbutted #1 on the right.. You were f***ing with him, and he flipped you off. That is easy to see. Now- question: how does your handling of this van driver mesh with your earlier exhortation on driving such that you don't negatively impact others?
I have no explanation for it, but I would suggest that if it happens regularly to you, but doesn't seem to happen to others very much, you might want to analyze what you may be doing that seems to pee people off.
I don't know the answer to that.
I don't know what you're talking about. Was that another unwarranted buttumption?
MegaMFFY 3359You want to ride along? I'll extend you the same invite I do to anyone who doesn't believe me. Of course if it's bicycling, you better be able to do...
