Angry Britain - Page 2

I found the programme to be what I expected with the psychologists spouting off the same drivel, but it was a good watch.
You know when there is a warning from channel 5 at the start of the programme and after every advert about viewing, there is a compulsion to watch it and get involved. One thing psychologist's would tell you

I was surprised about the women's comments on other women being the most angry drivers, and there is me thinking they are all sweetness and light

The country and the roads get more and more crowded with each year which passes, pressure on our time due to work also increases - the natural outcome of which is anger at every delay, no matter how insignificant.

Holding it in is never good, it needs an outlet. I always try to mildly give vent, rather than loosing complete control as in some of those examples.

Didnt see the programme, but that doesnt surprise me, there is a new bread of tail gators out there, younger women in BMW 1 series and Audi A3's... They seem to push in the outside lane when there is no where for the car in front to go... when it clears, I do enjoy leaving them behind

I watched it too.

It is very true, that when we are in a car, we do feel a greater sense of power and you do things toward other people while in car that you wouldn't dream of doing in person.

Can you imagine if pedestrians had Air horns and acted as drivers do. it'd be bedlam

On another note. I cannot stand cyclists, and think the guy that shouted at the skoda driver for cutting the corner was totally in the wrong.

the cyclist was stopped, on the carriageway, and in my opinion, the cyclist was in the wrong. If he wanted a break, he should have pulled onto the pavement and got off. The car had a good line of sight into the junction that he turned into, and could clearly see nothing was coming. The cyclist wasn't endangered in any way, shape or form in my eyes.

Don't want to open a can of worms with that, just my view.

I think the guy shouting at the 75 owner in the petrol station however was just a nutter :P
