Let's analyze this. If you're in a car. And there is another car passed you by 20 over. What do you do? Chase him down and tell him to slow down? That's road rage.

Look down up on him? What does that involve? Exactly nothing. You don't do anything to look down upon him.

Now if you're on a bike and you do anything but nothing (or look down on a speeder) then you're road raging. Proper term for that is law making, i.e. putting your life in danger to make some laws so that other bikers can be "safer".


Passive is not a proper term for this. Passive is riding on the side of the road and hoping cars will avoid you. My attitude is anything but passive. In fact I'm proactive. If you drive a car this is also called defensive driving...


Defensive driving does not include taking action against driver that pisses you off. That would be agressive driving. Thus you misunderstood me complitely.


I drive in two SCCA classes plus auto x. Basically, to peform, remove all the emotion and deal with things as they come, then move on. If you stuck on the past, on something that happend to you, then you're lagging and your performance suffers.


Such as the poster of this thread. He is stuck on the past. Else why spend precious time dwelling on what if, would have, should have... Life's way too short for these negativity.
