I stick to speed limit, and for the most part I drive sensibly, theres only so many times some jackass can cut me off in one day before I lose it. Like I said before, I check my mirriors and complete my proper lane change before cutting in front of the jackass. I'm in control of my truck and I'll throw its wieght around when I need to.

The thing that irritates me the most is when someone runs me off the road into the emergency lane, and when I get back on the road, I pull up next to them to "express my frustration," I realize the person is blabbering on the cell phone without even looking at the road, and has no idea what they even did anyway.
Although, nowadays, when someone does this to me, I don't catch back up and holler at them anymore, even though I'm angry as can be. The reason is, if they were stupid enough to unknowingly run someone off the road without even realizing it, then who knows how distracted they will be when someone pulls up next to them honking and yelling. They could do something even more dangerous and careless.
You have to drive your car and everybody elses!
