    I suspect most will claim to be in this group, but I went with Good Guy Greg.

    I just get so irritated with people who drive as if it's a competition, and so I want to counter-balance that with some courtesy.

    Plus, the negatives of being in any sort of accident, even if it's minor and no one was hurt, far outweigh any benefit you get from driving over-aggressively.

    (Caveat- if you are transporting an injured passenger or a pregnant woman to the hospital, feel free to be a bit more aggressive).

    Granny. Too afraid to get a ticket. And I drive more than most people so I'm always cautious.

    No multiple answers - I wanted people to select the one they are the most.

    Sorry, making y'all think hard on this

    I have a heavy foot. So I guess I'm mostly aggressive.

    On motorcycle I am Rage Brah but I don't have any rage. Cars are more like obstacles and they don't have to get out of my way I just go around them. Most of them rage pretty hard tho.

    Aggressive. My part of town is full of jabronis from the suburbs that don't know where they are. Oohing and ahhing at everything, in search of a Pinkberry or Halal Guys or something terrible they heard about on Facebook.

    I know where I'm going and how to get there, so... MOVE.

    I'm courtesyly aggressive. I'll let you in front of me, just don't be a dumbass. If you start pushing me further back on the freeway after I let you in then I'll cut you off but signal while doing so.

    I moved across the street from a subway station. Even thoughit takes twenty minutes longer to get to work via train than driving, the stress is WAY less.

    Whatevs – sometimes I pay attention, but mostly not. I drive company truck that is gps monitored. I cant get away with driving aggressively. I do alot of phone web surfing when I set my cruise on 65 and drive my 32 mile drive to work. I get the dirty looks from everyone if Im on my phone on the way home from work.

    I've raged. It's not so much get out of my way as I typically go no faster than 5 over and that's rare. It's more why are drivers so horrible on the road? Why is that s-hitstain to the right of me staying in my blindspot on the freeway when there's plenty of room to advance ahead in his lane? Why is that dumb teenager texting in the fast lane going 55 and swerving off the road impeding the flow of traffic? Why is that old lady hitting her brakes going up the freeway entrance ramp when there's no traffic in front of her? Why is that car sitting at a red light with their right turn signal on and not advancing? There's no traffic in the intersecting lane. Why??!?!?!?!!?!?!?
