what's your insult of choice ?
I ask because yesterday i watched an irate woman do a full on wanker fist - but the driver who had upset her was another woman. This seems all wrong to me, surely if she wanted to suggest another woman was a wanker it should have been a rapidly moving index finger ?
Personally I go for the "up yours" middle finger when need arises, it works with all genders, including all the 49 new ones.

Has to be the Wanker sign.
The middle finger just isn't animated enough when you're raging.

The funny thing about that is that the bloke can't hear you as both your windows are closed. So you shout it even louder, like it makes a difference š

I donāt do it.
In Stoke, I remember a group of youths getting out the car and one pulling a knife on my Dad for it.
In the US, Iāve heard friends recall stories of guns being waved at them.
I donāt see the need to risk it. You never know what asshole is in the other car.

I donāt see the need to risk it. You never know what asshole is in the other car. About 40 years ago my best mate had a Triumph Spitfire. We were driving down Trentham Road (by Longton Park). The car in front was doing about 15mph, so my mate accelerated to go past him. The car he was overtaking decided to accelerate to prevent my mate overtaking, so he was probably doing 45-50 when he completed the overtake and gave him a "bit of a wave" as he pulled in front. We had to stop at the traffic lights by Dougie Mac and the next thing I knew was a pair of hands reaching in (the soft top was down), grabbing my mate round the throat and banging his head against the headrest. Fortunately, the traffic lights were just changing and we were able to drive away. The car behind turned off towards Barlaston, while we stayed on Trentham Road. That was when I decided to was safe to give him the Harvey Smith!

I had a minor incident an hour ago at the notoriously wank section of princes road where the road narrows to a bottleneck as a result of resident parking areas; but the road is curved so itās often a split second to decide whether to go or not. Right of way is given to the cars travelling towards hartshill.
Sometimes people without right of way will see an oncoming car but go anyway. When that happens I donāt react. Theyāll often thank me for stopping and I passive-aggressively ignore them.
Today I was travelling towards penkhull and was already halfway through the first, trickier part of the bottleneck when an oncoming car came speeding towards me (prob going at least 35 if not 40, way too quick for that section) the car needed to slow down slightly to allow me to exit the bottle neck but SPED UP and forced me to stop; as if I was in the wrong for already being halfway through before they appeared. It then mounted the pavement. I eyeballed the driver; it was a young bloke and he didnāt even look at me or have any aggressive energy aside from their retardedly inappropriate driving.
Anyway, to cut a long story short and answer the OP; I called him a cunt.

You do have to be be careful with modern technology though.
A woman cut me off the other day and I yelled āYou miserable bitchā at her.
Next thing the car called my ex wife.

Mar lady has a thing against people in camper vans and cyclists. They both get called cunts whether they've done anything or not.

Drve via Queens Road instead, much wider and less traffic Unfortunately not an option as I live in penkhull and travel to Trent vale regularly. Itās basically unavoidable unless I go a longer route/risk getting stuck in traffic on the a500. I almost always drive back along London road and through the town centre though. Thatās not really an option on the way there as you have to go all the way around the one way past the civic centre and then back into town to get onto London road. But I much prefer that drive back. You avoid the shitty princes road bottleneck and also get some entertainment seeing pedestrians. I spot a fit bird about twice a year.

There have been several people SHOT, stalked, beaten, stabbed and killed here in the US as part of road rage incidents. I don't do it either. We're well-known idiots when it comes to driving. I just assume that the other guy is going to cut me off or signal for a left turn then turn right, not paying attention etc. so all my attention is to avoid swapping sheet metal when driving. Too many over here consider driving as an "experience" not a VERB.

There was an incident a week last Sunday during a local 10K road race. The safety car, flashing lights and all, politely gave the slow down sign to an approaching car which doubled back and half a mile later it approached again, pulled across the wrong side of the road right up to the safety car forcing it to stop and got out giving him the full who do you think you are, I'll do anything I want. The lead runner had to run around the melee. Apparently the lad looked a deadringer for Salop

Yesterday driving through the dreadful new town of Sherford (it really is fucking horrid and youāll know what I mean if youāve had the misfortune to drive through it) I was following a woman driving, youāve guessed it, a BMW. As she negotiated a right turn into one of the many narrow roads of this awful town, a small construction vehicle appeared coming towards her and as there was no room for passing, like most of Sherford, she stopped and reversed to let the construction vehicle out. All good so far but it became obvious that she wasnāt aware of me and a line of cars behind her, so I tooted my horn to warn her at which point she did stop a few centimetres from my front bumper, rolled down her window and giving me the wanker gesture screamed "canāt you see Iām fucking reversing?". Well yes madam I can thatās why I warned you of vehicles behind you. Her car was full of screaming kids in the back, who a couple gave me the Vee sign, and presumably another mum in front seat.

I tell my dad my stereotypical thoughts on bmw drivers and he gets all defensive because he used to drive one. But itās genuinely true. If ever thereās a narrow part of road due to resident parking on one side, but clearly big enough for 2 cars to comfortably get through providing the car on the non parking side drives relatively close to the curb; itās always cunting fucking bmw twats driving so far from the curb that itās impossible for you to go safely. The pricks think they own the road.

He had the nerve to wind his window down and start giving it the big one. After a quick analysis of his height, build, offensive capabilities werenāt to my disadvantage, I told him Iām just off to fuck his mother and zoomed off to frustrate a response.

I was on the M6 a few years ago coming up to Cannock where it's changed from 3 lanes to 4. I was in the third lane, only doing about 73MPH and there was a Peugeot ahead not doing a speed that meant he needed to be in that lane. As I didn't want to undertake and wasn't going that quick myself, I gave a non-aggressive flash from quite a way back as if it say "move over" (I was nowhere near up his arse or anything). Anyway, he did move across into the second lane, only to then decide he wanted to drive right up my arse at about 80MPH. I slowed down, changed lanes, everything, and the wanker was up my arse for about 5 miles - proper dangerous driving. I figured he was either driving that slowly in the first place to give him an excuse to have a road rage incident with someone. It was really shit to be honest, I even missed my exit and had to go on the toll road because I could not give him the slip.
Cunt.

I don't think I'm an impatient driver and I agree that, when you take a step back, getting involved in something on the road just really isn't worth it as you never know what sort of dickhead you're dealing with. However, I used to fucking hate this bloke who used to work near me in Crewe. Off the roundabout, there was a normal lane and a filter lane and you could guarantee that this bellend would put his foot down in either lane he was in. If he was in the normal lane, there was no way he would let anybody in front of him, and if he was in the outer/filter lane he would race off and expect everyone to let him in. Just a proper fucking knob.

Out with the dog earlier and crossed over the road, small T junction and Iād noticed a van reversing up a tiny cul de sac towards us obviously bang in the middle of both lanes, I made it quite obvious I was there when he slammed his breaks on and made out I was in the wrong as he said heād checked his wing mirror when I pointed out he should be using his ārear viewā mirror....
Rather than losing my rag simply said have a good day mate which stumps people as they want to argue most of the time.
I do find a vast amount of SOT drivers are extremely vile.
