Just so long as the scum doesn't find out where you live, and later come by
one night and burn your house down! Some of these people are insane and
capable of anything.

I must admit I get really impatient with slow, inconsiderate and
incompetent (usually a combination) "drivers"... don't indicate, pull into
the right lane to turn left, stop on the white line at an intersection so
taking up both lanes, turning across lanes at an intersection, stopping for
no reason in the middle of the road, crawling at 30-40kmh in a 50 area...
see it every time i get into my car.

And those who do illegal turns, forcing their way in past you, meanwhile
flipping you off!

BUT though I might be swearing at them behind my (closed) windows, I'd
never CONSIDER violence! But like the Europeans, I HAVE started using my
horn to tell them off. fortunately this is still generally safe to do here.
Road rage hasn't become trendy here yet.

I believe mace/pepper spray is illegal here.
