I hate that so much. I've been honked at because I didn't start to go when the light turned green because
there were still cars in the intersection. What did they want me to do? Push a button and go into hover mode? One woman did that to me and kept honking for no reason and I lost it and had a screaming fit at her. I don't know how she would have heard me since I had the windows up, but after that she politely and quietly kept her distance behind me.
I was in an accident once because of that, at this crazy intersection where you merged onto a road with moving traffic on the other side. I pulled out because I felt rushed by the honking people and didn't see a car coming from the left. So naturally I'm even more hesitant after that. And when people lay on their horns in those cases, I just freeze up and can't move at all. I can't tell you how many times people have made rude gestures at me when all I was doing was not risking my life.
I really, really hate driving. I probably shouldn't even be doing it.
I have called drivers as*holes and my husband says that is a form of road rage but they can't even hear me. That is hardly road rage.
Oh I was going to the WIC clinic this morning and then I stop because the car in front of me was stopped and the white cat behind me stops and then men in the front seats start waving their arms at me as if they were telling me to go. I just sat and waited thinking there was a line of cars in front of me. The white car behind me turns into the other lane and right as they do that, the car in front of me starts to move and I saw it was the green car in front of that car was turning. And guess what, I got ahead of that white car again so it was like them being impatient got them nowhere.
The lady behind you may have saw your body language and knew she got you mad. Maybe she thought you were some loon so she kept her distance
