Are you referring to me just because I said that tailgaters make me angry? That's not exactly me getting textbook road rage but it's THEM, the tailgaters who are being aggressive to ME.
Road rage doesn't just mean ANY anger felt in a car, justified or not. It's when someone drives aggressively and takes something out on another driver with the way they're driving. I'm not the one driving aggressively, I'm the one being driven up the back of, and the person won't even just pass me even when there's an opportunity...
I'm talking about the times when it's the other guy being a complete dick even though I'M letting them pass, driving the limit, doing what I can to not have invited that crap...I think my own anger and fear at that is a human reaction. It's the other guy you need to question about actual road rage. I'm just hanging onto my wheel wishing the dick would just go around.
