I just had a "road rage" experience in East Brighton Crescent, although there wasn't much raging until the end. I'd been on a hospital visit and was using the street as a rat run, due to the back up in Brighton Place. I was going very, very slowly, as I know there is a bend and at least 2 blind spots. Anyway, Mr I have a pathetoc private reg, came racing round the bend and had to come to an emergency stop.
He had to reverse, as I had a car behind me that had come to a gentle stop. He started waving his arms around and gesticulating but not the V signs or anything so vulgar.
I wound my window down and said politely: "I don't know why you are waving your arms at me?"
He said, equally politely: "coz you came round there at some speed"
I responded: "No, I was very careful"
He said: " well it couldn't have been me as I have a kid in the car" He then pointed to little kid who was sitting in the FRONT with a seat belt on.
I said: "well to be honest she should really be in the back". He looked a bit sheepish.
"its not really a good example to use when attempting to prove careful motoring to another motorist" I opined.
"F***** " he said and started to pull away.
"Now, now you have a kid in the car" I helpfully informed him, as he appeared to have forgotten all about her.
