I believe driving to be a weird mood changing experience for a lot of people. I for one find that I am quite an outspoken angry person in most situations. I'll happily vent my anger and frustrations to anybody that upsets me in the general public.
However, while driving I find I'm always calm and very patient at letting other drivers pull out or overtake etc.
In contrast, for example, my girlfriend is normally very calm when not driving. But put her behind the wheel and she turns into this fucking psycho maniac where every other driver is in her words, "fucking wanker!", "learn to fucking drive you spastic!". It's rather scary sometimes. One time some guy cut her up and she chased him down the road. She pulled over in front of him and made him stop. Rather than shouting at him she got to his car and punched him in the face. Luckily we got away before he had chance to knife the both of us.
Not just my girlfriend though, I have several other friends who have some sort of Jeckyl and Hyde personality change while behind the wheel.
Does anybody else have this? Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Ya normal, I hate cars. My way would be a world filled with bicycles, carbon fibre frames with high end bearings and no cars allowed on some streets. People in cars sit on they're arse chat on cell phones and act like they are alone in the universe.
In Britain it's illegal to use a mobile phone and drive at the same time. A very sensible law.
Despite this, it's very difficult to actually stop this from happening. Many people die each year from careless driving and it does my fucking head in. I also ride road bikes a lot and cunts in cars think the road is theirs alone.
My mums best friend lost her husband after he killed a cyclist while on the phone. She was 6 months pregnant and that poor kid won't meet it's dad until it's at least 5 years old. Personally, I wish it was 20 years. I like him and all but, he should have fucking known.
Good comment Donkey same here in Aust. I rode a pushbike for a couple of years and gave it away because car drivers dont care and think they own the road. Even when theyre stopped they open their car doors on you.
It's bizarre though. I do road races on bikes and how much do I hate drivers!? Fucking loads! But even as a cyclist, in the dark depths of winter I have to drive to work and occassionally come across the bike bitch that believes "I can cycle in winter, yeah, I'm hard! The road is mine bitch!".
Even as a semi-pro cyclist I fucking hate the cunts who forget the laws of averages. I've never conducted a scientific test but think about it, BIKE v CAR (or) TRUCK (or) LORRY. Preliminary tests show that cyclists splat very well.
However, I will never give up my riding. I think cars are fucking lazy and overused. Anybody driving withing 5 or 10 miles of their work should look up the costs of fuel and future fossil supplies.
I don't want to be a fucking preacher but the world is slowly begining to learn. There are too many lazy cunts out there getting fat. Apparently it's a disease. Way to give the fat cunts an excuse. Fuck 'em. Darwin had it right. Survival of the fittest is the way it should be. And lets hope that happens, Maybe in about 20 years time there'll be no Americans left.
Sorry that was off the subject. I am calm in car. My missus is fucking mental in car.
This is perfectly normal behavior. I am pretty mellow most of the time, but the sight of some dumbshit with a cell phone in their ear driving in three lanes simultaniously makes me want to pull them out of the car through the four inch crack in the drivers side window and whale on their head until I get to the creamy center!!!!.....sorry, I'm calm again.
I turn into psycho bicth from hell when I drive. I also drive a motorcycle. I vote normal.
As a car driver I am sticking up for the drivers against the tirade from the cyclists. The comment 'they think they own the road is not that far from the truth' after all car drivers pay road tax and cyclists don't.

However I agree that you're a moron if you talk on the phone whilst driving and whenever possible I do slow down and give cyclists more than enough room, even when the idiots are cycling on the road only 20ft from a dedicated cycle route no doubt paid for by MY road tax.
What the fuck? Around 95% of cyclist own a driving license too, they just like to do exercise and not be a fat fuck! Thats the fucking problem I'm talking about. When I drive I'm a driver,, when I cycle I'm a cyclist, there's no inbetween.
And to suggest that cyclists don't pay road tax, well, FUCK me. What bus did you arrive on? It's not just an alternate means of transport, it's a fucking hobby!
Think before you type please!
Never have your girlfriend drive. What kind of a man are you? Statistically most women prefer men to drive always.......perhaps it is because they know we are much better at it?
PS spare me your throwing bullshit biased stats back in my face, will you? Bull-dyke feminist cunts need not respond.
Where i live in a rural area,youre taking youre life in your hands just walking down the lane!A lot of people drive like maniacs and treat you as if you shouldnt even be there.

I don't drive yet, but because of the way my parents are, I'll probably be a very patient even considerate driver, the one you wanna kiss or hug.

LOL.

But yeah, the others piss me off.

Also, I'd like to say to the cyclists, safe rides. My dad used to drive motorcycle and he quit because Mom said it was too dangerous and it definitely is in Washington, we've got some seriously WEIRD drivers over here.

Cool post.
