A couple of airhorns and a bit of tolerance ... That's what you need in Sydney. Nothing more to add, road rage is definitely not in my good books. Maybe because I have low tolerance level for most drivers, nevertheless always idiots to me.

 

In New York as of 11/01 it is illegal to drive and talk on the phone unless the driver us using some type of hands free device. The media makes New York out to be so special because we are leading the way for new rules and regulations for safety sake. Excuse me while I go gag. Everyday I see people in their car, HOLDING the phone. The cops are not doing anything about it. We may have the law but it is like so many other laws, they are broken because they are not enforced. My favorite one in New York is headlights must be on if your windshield wipers are on. And what do you think I see on rainy days? Yes, that is right, cops driving with no lights on and their windshield wipers going! I'm going to stop now; I could rant on this all day!

 

I have a real hard time with others on the highway. I commute 35+- miles into Dallas every workday. The only accidents I have been involed in with my daily commute, I was sitting still and someone ran into me 4 times that's happend. So they can't hit me if they can't catch me
That's also the main reason I won't ride the bike into work.freakin cagers
I see dumb people driving everyday.
So how do I cope? Crank up the radio and floor it. ZOOOOM

 

I just crank up my music and laugh at all of the people getting frustrated. Getting upset does absolutly nothing for your situation other than raise your blood pressure. I can't figure out why people let it get to them.

As for the driving while talking with cell phones......as long as you are concentrating on the road more than the phone call I have never had any problems. I just constantly remind myself that driving is my number one priority and I might just miss a few word or two from the conversation.
