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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
PS spare me your throwing bullshit biased stats back in my face, will you? Bull-dyke feminist cunts need not respond.

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.
