Describe the moment you saw red mist, sheer anger.What changes did you notice mentally and physically after been cut up ?
I had one, a van pulls out in front of me, forcing me to brake.
He gives me the finger, so he got some Toby
treats.
To put it another way, he had to change his underpants, my guess was no licence,Mot or insurance due to speeding off to get away.

I don’t get it.
Did those Toby treats go straight through him like a dodgy curry or something?
What are Toby treats?
Think of the film Duel, I was his worst nightmare, let’s say for now, man in van had to take evasive action, when he decided to hide in my blind spot, five lanes of motorway to go in for vandyman.
Only once for me which changed my whole driving style completely.
Wide load overtaking a tractor on A14, taking her steady and poor conditions so left a longer gap before pulling in, car up my arse flashing lights, just as I indicate to pull in they go for an undertake- so i bollock her in sharpish and car heads off up embankment.
To this day I don’t care if the occupants where OK or not, at the time they where a imaginary threat and where dealt with accordingly with a Dipper Treat (bit like a Toby Treat but less ■■■■ 
)…
Doubt I would do the same again as I like to think i have my RR undercontrol but who knows for sure as it was a animal instinct that took over at the time.
I’m ok with most things but every once in a while something makes me snap. and when it does the colour drains from my face and i feel like im spinning out with vertigo, and knowing I will never catch up with the prick that just wronged me makes it worse.
Maybe I shouldn’t admit to this, but yesterday I was on a two lane dual carriage way where an extra lane joined from the near side to make it 3 lanes. I saw a car in the joining lane about 100 yards behind so I moved over to lane one instead of letting him undertake me. No flashing, no beeping, but 15 seconds later I notice him overtake me and obviously he’s upset with me cos he cuts in front of me as close as you can get … ie i could only see the front half of his car through the windscreen … Now, here is the bad part … when I saw he was cutting in front of me I swerved to the right. I didn’t cross the white line, but all the same, in that one instant of rage I swerved to try to hit him for cutting me up. Bad I know. Luckily no contact otherwise I would be in the news today.
Someone else in a blue BMW saw all this and speed past me and then cut up the car that cut me up. So yes I lost it yesterday, but someone else who I would normally consider a ■■■■■■ saw what happened and lost it too.
Erm…
I used to rise to it several times a day but my blood pressure cant take it anymore, now i just put radio 4 on and think of nice things like cutting the grass and let all that anger rise over me, it doesnt always go to plan though 
List of things that boil my ■■■■ …
1 : someone doing 55mph and I try to overtake them. I get half way past and they speed up. I pull back in behind and they slow down . Pull back out … rinse repeat. It’s like they don’t want to go over 55mph, but they don’t want some common lorry overtaking them at the same time. This is the only thing I’ve yet to control my anger over. Happens every day.
2 : as described in above post, someone deliberately trying to cut me up usually because i’ve been in the middle lane trying to overtake the person in example 1 or the one off instance of post above. Normally I don’t care if they try to cut me up as long as they dont make me slow down.
3 . On a motorway some old ■■■■ closes on me at 65mph until he gets beside me and then slows down to match my speed. No idea why they do this, but they stay there until I need to pull out to overtake a slower vehicle. It doesn’t drive me mental, but it always takes a gentle toot of the horn for them to notice my indicators flashing and then they either speed up or move over. This always happens on the M25 and I blame the overhead cameras that never go off. By the end of the week I just sit in lane 2 of 4 on the M25 and problem solved.
■■■■ my back ■■■■ I am an angry ■■■■ looking back on all that.
I used to loose the plot big time with road rage, but as I am a tad older now I am a lot calmer.
I have my own dash cam so any misdemeanour’s that cause major issues can be proven without beating the life out of some one and it has the added effect of making me behave in a tense situation 
Drift I really need to get a dash cam if only to show my boss why 8 pallets of eggs got scrambled with 8 pallets of ice cream in the front!
I only passed my test 4 years ago and it’s taken a long time to chill out. I’m almost there. Like I said above the only thing that really angers me is the person who speeds up and strands me in lane two when trying to overtake. The only reason that ■■■■■■ me off is because it is so unecassary.
Held up by heavy rush hour traffic or accident? No problem. Can’t do anything about it…
Held up by someone being a stubborn ■■■■■ Boils my blood cos it doesn’t have to be that way.
Thanks Toby, you’ve just outed me as most angry and unstable Tnet member 
Its like my own Zen master, it proves I am right but it can if I let it prove I am a ■■■■, keeps a lid on things
If I did balls up and loose it, I never had a cam in the first place
Seriously though I still get wound up and have a hissy swearing fit but more to myself nowdays.
In my younger days I accidentally pulled out at a roundabout and caused a car to brake. I put my hand up and apologised. The car then screeched around my nearside and pulled in front of me. It then brake tested me three times and then stopped. Red mist then came out of all orifices. All four doors on the car opened and four blokes got out before I put my thinking head on I burst out of the cab. I am 6ft 3 and about 20stone but couldn’t fight for toffee. Luckily they must have thought if I got out to four blokes i must be a ninja. They went and eventually the smell of adrenalin faded. Nowadays I would probably have been stabbed.
When someone cuts you up you automatically hit the brakes. It’s human nature and almost impossible to avoid unless you are a psychopath … but let’s be honest here … have you ever narrowly avoided an accident where someone else has deliberately cut you up, but secretly you wished you had delayed braking for half a second and ■■■■■■■ them?
I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I remember mild displeasure once when a car went past me and its number plate wasn’t straight.

That ■■■■■■■ boils my ■■■■ mate. How did you get through it? Did you need therapy? Are you ok now?
No comment.
Yes it got sorted. Luckily the chap stopped at the services and we discussed it. The chap admitted he was at fault and offered to rectify the fault. I passed him a spare screwdriver out of my cab locker and stood there tutting while he dealt with the issue.
I deeply regret lending him that screwdriver. I never got it back.
dicks
