Hahaha i had roadrage with a customer of mine. It was my fault i was driving up hes backside but to annoy me he kept breaking trying to make me hit hes car, so in anger i drove l as close as i could to him. Anyway got to the trafic lights and started to slowly reverse. I saw red and jumped out van to hit him when i saw it was 1 of my customers who i get on well with. I laughed it off and said i was about to knock you out. He laughed and said when are you due round next.... That was that At least i didnt lose him. we now always joke about it.

Wish I could have had a laugh about it , feel a fool as I have showec myself up abit , no doubt he will tell his neighbours although they are both ok , I have never really got on with him . Mike

If you think it was your fault and you feel bad about it, go round and apologise.
Even if you don't get him back as a customer you will feel better about it.

No way rule number 1 with roadrage... Always blame the other person, never admit fault.
-
His first words were if you think you are cleaning my windows after behaving like that you can f##k off .
I attempted to explain my actions and the fact I was carrying alot of weight and could not be expected to floor it out of every juction although he only ever let me get 2 words in
As for an apology I tried he would'nt let me speak and was adamant I was not cleaning his windows again and walked off , Dont see the point of going to his door and have it shut in my face. Mike

I would kill him before he tells any other customers. Extreme I know, but you've got to look after the business :)
-
Defo extreme Tom I am pretty certain I wont lose any custys just feel abit of a fool afterwards . As I have.said.before never rwally getting on with him in the past he has blanked me a few times in street along with the usual trick of leaving house without speaking or paying .
And has had digs at me about price increase paying for my nice motor and not in a joking way . So I will just have to make the bezt of things .Mike

or rather:
Rule No.1 of roadrage - only idiots allow themselves to get wound up by other people's bad driving.
I got road-raged once when my car, idiot bloke was leaning out the window shouting and swearing. Driving up my backside and following me everywhere. At least he did until I pulled into the local cop shop, then he couldn't get away fast enough.
Honestly, is it really worth getting that worked up over something so stupid as bad driving? If someone's driving is that bad, just give them a wide berth or allow them to overtake. Life's too short.

Although the force is strong in this young one, he has patience to learn before he can join the Jedi.

Dump and get 2 new custies.

should have pasted him lol
-
Now its been a good few hours since the incident i still feel a bit bad and if i see him again i will try and say sorry again but if he aint having fair enough . Mike
-
Happened to me once, i cant actually remember what they did, think they pulled out in front of me, i went up behind and flashed to say what hell you doing. He jumped out and was giving it all the "come on then" i just told him to get in car and move.
I forgot about it till i was next cleaning his windows and i realised it was him lol, we've never said anything, and that was about 9 years ago now, im still cleaning his windows ;D
-
Although you were out of order for gesturing and mouthing off, do you not feel that he exacerbated the situation by driving close enough to see what radio station you were tuned into?
You have tried to apologize and he wasn't big enough to accept. Road ragers seldom back down, and some have been known to take things to extremes, so my advice would be to leave it alone now, learn from the experience and move on.

People who suffer from road rage=morons. Scientific fact!

I was a shocker when I was younger. If anyone cut me up I used to chase them (all the way to their home if necessary) then scream expletives at the offender, who was usually too shocked to reply in any other way than to be really apologetic.
Thankfully I have seriously mellowed over the years and now I just let it go if anyone does anything silly on the road near me. I guess that may make me an ex-moron! ;D
