    I scored an 80, and am a little disappointed in that score. I swear I am at least around 85-95. :(

    Since I commute into the metro ATL area, I'm amazed at my low, low score of 35. But I guarantee you that if someone is dawdling in the left lane, I'm not too patient. You need to pass quickly and get out of the way, it is the rules of the road. Some people think they have a long-term lease on the left lane. The only time this doesn't happen when I drive my truck to work, which is a natural tool of hwy intimidation. They move without me having to resort to flashing my lights. I also can't stand the fact that no one up here knows what a turn signal is. If I'm cut off or someone decides to pass at .5 mph faster than the traffic in the right lane, they are deserving of the bird.

    I scored a 35 but I get upset all the time when I am driving because of slow people. Some of those questions were really drastic ones, I think. I may get mad but I am not to a point of doing something stupid because you never know these days if people carry a gun with them.

    I scored a 55. My main problem when I drive is dealing with the super-slow drivers. For example, when driving to Houston down HWY 71, some assclown will be going 55 in the passing lane, while I'm approaching quickly at 75-80. When they refuse to move over, I'll usually rapidly go around them in the other lane, and cut them off with very little room to react. But sometimes if I'm in a real bad mood, I'll get up behind them, and start tailgating the hell out of slow traffic in the fast lane.

    Tailgating was a much more appropriate when I was driving my truck. Now that I'm in a nimble sedan, I usually just use the cutting off method, and and just blast by the other car.

    Dude, I honest-to-God was given a 95 with that same paragraph as my results.

    I'm not really that insane, I just live in Austin.

    i don't need no stinkin' test to tell me whether or not i have road rage, if everyone drove like me, there'd be no problems!

    LEAD, FOLLOW or GET OUT OF THE WAY!

    I got a 30, but there weren't enough questions if you ask me. I, for instance, believe people who don't use turn signals and "honda civic driving ass" street racers should all be executed.

    55. It's dropped a lot since I left Houston and moved to Connecticut. You don't have people changing lanes every second. I suspect when it starts snowing, my road rage will increase.

    I thought I was bad, but I only got a 30. Remind me not to get on the road at the same time as some of you people. :)

    Also, you may wish to not drive in my town. I've never seen so many slow people. Many of them are old, but some aren't. They have nowhere to go and all day to get there (which, around here, is probably the truth). It's frustrating and just makes me speed more when I finally get around them. Don't they know some of us are actually driving to get to a certain place at a certain time?

    I don't think people really care about their fellow drivers. It's this little bubble mentality that everyone seems to drive around in, cocooned in your SUV, with whatever music you want going and the world around you.....is not even there. And nothing frosts me more than people who think they own the left lane, especially minivans! :mad:
