I've learned plenty from other peoples' rants here. Hell, I actually bought winter tires this year. I bet if we pull up the thread from last year, I was probably one of the "all seasons are fine" guys.
There's no shame in learning. As soon as people stop doing severely aggravating things like holding up traffic to turn left over a double solid, or poking along in the left lane on deerfoot, or pedesting in front of me when I have a green arrow, I'll stop bitching about it.
BTW, I just invented a word.

I think we are on the same page here. I just thought you were ranting about something different from V's post then what I got from it. I use to get pretty infuriated on the road when I was younger. Mostly just swearing, flipping people off, and the old cut in front of someone really close when they were driving slow as crap in front of you routine. But I also drove kind of like an asshat. So I am sure the two went hand in hand for me. I am probably still considered an "aggressive driver" but that is more of my driving style and not my anger level.
But, like Antithesis, I just one day made the decision that I wouldn't let it bother me so much. My girlfriend on the other hand gets pretty hot under the collar when driving around stupid drivers. Hell, she even flips off other drivers when she is the passenger. Which is just dandy for me because whose ass as they going kick? Hers or mine? Probably not the little blonde's.
I can say for sure that the biggest push for me getting winter tires for the first time this year was CP. All that ranting helped me for sure. But I don't think those things will stop happening anytime soon so I don't expect the ranting to stop. Also your invented word sounds like it should be illegal so I hope people stop doing it immediately, especially in public.
