I drive slower when you beep your horn.

I drive slower after you arrogantly and obnoxiously beep your horn at me.

I drive the speed limit and come to a full stop at stop signs.

I do not care that you are in a rush and riding my tail.

I do let others walk completely across the street before I enter the crosswalk.

When you lean on your horn, I drive EVEN SLOWER.

Rant over.

Hate to break it to you but that's aggressive driving too. That's going to backfire on you.

Aaaaannd to the PP who called me smug... and an imbecile...

The only smug and incompetent people I see driving are those who feel the need to yell and scream and beep at people they do not know.

Try driving safely, you JUST might like it. And you just may get to your destination in the same amount of time it would take if you were driving recklessly.

BTW, in order to avoid stop sign camera fines in DC, one should spell the word S.T.O.P in their heads before proceeding through the crosswalk. This gives the full 6-10 second stop that will avoid a rolling stop camera fine.

You're welcome. Slow down.

Yup. Total dick.

Not aggressive driving at all. Look it up if you need to.
Been driving this way for 20 years. Never an at fault an accident on my side, great insurance rate.
And btw, the only person it ever backfired on was a guy who tried to swerve and tried to pass me on the right (at a stop sign) . He almost hit a kid crossing the street and was pulled over by a police officer he didn't notice about a block later.

Carry on with the defense of beeping and yelling. My safe driving Zen is strong young Jedi.

Why risk pissing off a hothead even more? You’re going to get in a major road rage incident with someone with that smugness. Hope you know how to fight

Op again... an FYI

"Taking the extra time to drive safely is your most important responsibility. Speeding, failing to yield, and running red lights or STOP signs are some of the most common errors drivers make. The District of Columbia uses automated safety enforcement to reduce these violations.

Nationally, 20% of fatal crashes and nearly half of all injury crashes occur at intersections. Such crashes are easily preventable if the driver stops completely as required by law.

Drivers should come to a complete stop prior to the stop bar at an intersection controlled by a stop sign or traffic signal. This allows the driver to look around and ensure that he or she has the right of way before continuing. The stop sign units use radar to detect if a vehicle stopped at, rolled through, or ran a stop sign. Tickets will be issued when vehicles fail to stop at a stop sign."

Lots of nuts carry guns. Just MYOB.

And you’re not really “zen” if you are hate driving and trying to punish others.

OP here. Not biting the fear narrative and I will never be afraid of a person who is beeping yelling at me for following safe driving practices. Never.

Road Ragers generally are cowardly people who are generally unhappy people, hence the beeping and yelling. Nothing I could have done by driving safely will fix their general lack of patience and low emotional IQ.

Nothing anyone has said here has convinced me to roll through stop signs, drive over the speed limit ( there are reasons for speed limits in DC and camera fines), or to play into the beepaholic mentality .

How about driving slower than speed limit to teach someone a lesson? You realize that being a dick might piss off the wrong driver some day?

Op here, I dont drive under the limit, but if you are beeping at me on a city street (not highway) and I am driving the speed limit OR stopping as legally required at a stop sign, or yielding for bike lanes, OR actually reading the sign that says NO TURN ON RED... sorry ragers.

You will be beeping and I will continue to drive safely and slowly on purpose. Never been shot in 20 years for it and sorry, not buying that narrative.

ANd FYI... heres a list of all the camera fine locations for violating speed and stop sign rules.

https://mpdc.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/mpdc/publication/attachments/Active%20Camera%20Locations%2010.29.2018.pdf

Keep on raging, ragers. Lets see you try to find parking at L'fant plaza and watch the camera footage in front of a judge while you try to fight those fines.

OP how often are people beeping at you? Because if it it's a lot you are the common denominator. I drive safely, stop at crosswalks and stop signs and drive the speed limit and I don't have people beeping at me left and right. Maybe you aren't the wonderful driver you think you are.

[Anonymous]

OP, rule following's fine. A lot of us do that. You're not describing yourself as an upstanding rule follower.

You're saying you deliberately drive dangerously when someone else expresses anger with your driving by driving dangerously. That makes two drivers who are aggressively reacting to each other by driving driving dangerously. It's bad enough that you and the other driver are endangering yourselves, but you're also risking the safety and lives of anyone in the area.

Please stop what you're doing before you end up hurting someone.
