How to deal with rude drivers cutting me off?
« on: Today at 08:08:45 am »
Something happened today that really tested my patience. I was driving on the highway, keeping a safe distance from the car in front of me, when suddenly, someone swerved into my lane out of nowhere—no signal, no warning, nothing. I had to slam my brakes to avoid hitting them. The worst part? They didn’t even seem to care. No hand wave, no "sorry," just kept driving like it was no big deal. I know getting angry doesn’t help, but I can’t lie—I was fuming. How do you guys deal with situations like this without letting it ruin your mood?

I feel like driving these days is more about avoiding other people’s bad decisions than anything else. Some drivers act like they’re the only ones on the road, and it’s frustrating. I don’t usually let it bother me too much, but I get why it’s annoying. I’ve started just assuming that people will do dumb things while driving, and that way, I’m less surprised when it actually happens.

I used to get really pissed off while driving. It wasn't even just when someone was a dick like what you described, but going to slow, not stopping at a stop sign, camping in the fast lane, you name it. While I'm not perfect, I decided a while ago to let that all go, drive defensively, and just try and relax as much as possible when I'm driving. Getting angry at some complete stranger for driving like a moron isn't doing anything to them, just me. It was putting me in a terrible mood when I'd finally arrive at my destination some times, no to mention being angry like that wasn't good for me physically. The biggest FU you can give to a bad driver is to simply avoid or deal with them while they're near you and know that the consequences of them driving like that will likely catch up with them. Whether that's tickets, accidents, road rage incident, or worse, they're inviting misfortunate upon themselves if they continue to do that.
