You could have braked heavely when she was close to you (she would not have needed to take laxatives for a while)
Or been really nasty and turned the ignitin off just before you braked.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -

You pulled out on someone and they got upset. Where is that lifesaver glance when pulling out?

It would appear some posters here witnessed the event themselves, if they get called up for jury service if you're ever in the dock best plead guilty.0

In similar scenarios I've seen 'older' people pull out causing rapid breaking from other motorists and then they make little effort to get up to speed adding to the frustration.
It is not uncommon for 'older' drivers to pull out, often when waiting would have been more appropriate until it was clear and safe to do so, which is then confounded by them pootling along, gradually creeping up to speed with not a care in the world.
Not excusing road rage, but often the 'innocent' party is not so innocent but is blindly unaware that their careless/carefree style of driving is a contributing factor."We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0 -

Ha ha. Always seems to happen at the weekend/ bank holiday too.
I found all the Sunday motorists out yesterday lunchtime. I had exactly the scenario you describe in a 50 limit, and had to quickly overtake to avoid hitting the plonker. 0
