I'll share my road rage story from last fall.

I'm travelling down 12th Ave SW towards Crowchild one morning, before 8:30, and go through the school zone - the zone where you are to slow down to 30km/h after 8:30. So I go through it at 45km/h because it's before 8:30. Somewhere near the turn in the road, I see a black SUV speeding up towards me. He tails me, then passes me and gets on my left side. When we get stopped at the red light at the Crowchild/Bow Trail ramp, he proceeds to roll down his window and scream and scream and scream at me, saying that I was supposed to slow down. I, as calmly as I could, said, no, it wasn't 8:30 yet, but he was just freaking out, going "IT DOESN"T MATTER!" Um.... okay, buddy - if it didn't matter, they'd just do a 24 h. zone. What seemed to escape him was that he had to speed to catch up to me and scream his head off at me.

I started going to work a new way after that - I really dind't want to experience that kind of stuff again.
