    Do you have

    Do you ever lose your cool while driving? Take the Road Rage test to see how you rate.

    http://www.queendom.com/tests/minitests/fx/road_rage.html



    I scored a 40, which means:

    According to the results of this test, you have a moderate case of road rage. Though you don't always lose your cool, there are certain circumstances that overheat your circuitry and make you fume. Perhaps you get overly impatient while waiting at a red light, or have a low level of tolerance for super-slow drivers. Whatever the case, you're probably making mountains out of molehills. If you're going to drive, you have to accept the fact that it won't always be "smooth sailing". In preservation of your own mental and physical health, and for the sake of everyone else on the road, try to put these highway frustrations into perspective. They are just not worth the headache.

    What did you score?

    I got a 0 haha, but that's because it didn't ask all the right questions or was a little too extreme in the answers. I get real annoyed when the light turns green and the dumb@$$ in front isn't paying attention. It also gets on my nerves when someone is going slow in the fast lane or two cars are going the same speed on a two lane street goin one way which prevents you from getting around them and speedin' up.

    Just for grins, here is what a score of 100 gets:

    Talk about a recipe for disaster: in one vehicle mix a handful of any combination of the following ingredients; pride, aggression, anger, frustration, impatience, intolerance, and stress. Stir vigorously and you've got yourself a healthy helping of road rage. According to this test, you've got all the symptoms. You get overly worked up over everyday driving situations, and often resort to nasty tactics to bulldoze your way through traffic - maybe even physically attacking others! One of the problems with this volatile concoction is that most of the people afflicted by it don't even realize they have a problem. For your own mental well-being and physical health and for the safety of everyone else on the road, you should work on overcoming your highway demons... before they lead to disaster.

    Congratulations! According to your test results, you are one cool cucumber behind the wheel. You manage to stay calm in almost any driving situation, whether stuck behind granny driving at a turtle's pace or watching helplessly as someone swipes your parking spot. You seem to recognize that such occurrences, albeit irritating, are just not the end of the world. You are able to put the little quirks and foibles of the highway scene into perspective; so what if you have to wait a couple minutes at a red light, or you're a few minutes late for work? Thanks to drivers like you, we manage to maintain a certain level of sanity on our roads.

    Results of "The Test"
    How angry do you get on the road?

    Your score = 70

    What does your score mean?
    According to the results of this test, you have a moderate case of road rage. Though you don't always lose your cool, there are certain circumstances that overheat your circuitry and make you fume. Perhaps you get overly impatient while waiting at a red light, or have a low level of tolerance for super-slow drivers. Whatever the case, you're probably making mountains out of molehills. If you're going to drive, you have to accept the fact that it won't always be "smooth sailing". In preservation of your own mental and physical health, and for the sake of everyone else on the road, try to put these highway frustrations into perspective. They are just not worth the headache.

    The ones where I chose the "non-road-rage" question were the one with the elderly woman (I would stay behind her at a distance) and the one with the parking spot I have been waiting for (I would not demand the space as these kinds of discussions are so stupid), and I have never gotten into any actual physical confrontation over a driving incident.

    All other questions I had to answer with "Yes" :eek:.

    I'm surprised I didn't score higher. If you look up "road rage" in the dictionary, the term drapg would be listed as a synonym.

    I would have answered "Yes" to a physical confrontation but I haven't gotten anyone to stop yet. :D

    I got a 0 as well. I barely started driving with my parents and will get my license at the end of December. I was pretty proud since I drove from outside of Houston all the way to my house. (probably about 90-100 miles, guestimating.) Hehe...I couldn't really stay right in the middle of the lane though...kind of looked like I was drunk. Oh and cruise control kicks butt.

    I think my mom has a serious case of road rage. She needs to take this quiz. :)

    I got into one 2 months ago, but in my defense, the other driver started it. We nearly came to blows, was it not for some onlookers stopping us. I could have taken him... I think.

    I got a 25.

    I used to get much angrier than I do now. I remember driving with a boss of mine and he was getting pissed off at a driver for doing something that he just did to someone else! That seemed pretty silly to me because my boss didn't mean to drive like a jerk, it just "happened" in the course of driving in city traffic. Of course, my boss was SURE the other guy did it on purpose. That incident made me realize that it's probably better just to lighten up and not take other people's driving so personally.

    Considering the fact that I drive 30,000 + miles a year, most of which are in the city limits, I am suprised its that low. :cool:

    I got a 0, for real. I honestly don't get angry when I drive. I grew up with a VERY angry driver (my dad). He set an excellent example of how not to behave.
