Hmm....they want my e-mail address too? What next, spam for some cheap psychiatric advice based on your score?

You actually consider giving your real addy? How about 1@2.com, or whatever easy to type, bogus addy your fingers can punch out?

I got a score of 26:

Anger Moderate 11
Impatience Low 7
Competing Low 1
Punishing Moderate 7

I guess I am not too bad afterall. They are missing out on some stuff though since compare to some people, I am much much more agrassive.

This is one of the "KEY REMINDERS TO STEER CLEAR OF PUNISHING"
"In some states, police have set up special cellular phone numbers to report aggressive drivers. Find out how you can report this behavior in your area."

In some places in Illinois, it will take them hours to respond.

Total Score: 29

Anger: Low - 8
Impatience: Low - 3
Competing: High - 13
Punishing: Moderate - 5

Same as Lwin said, I'm probably more aggressive then this says.

Gee, I must be real aggressive.
My total was 58.
Anger...17
Impatience...21
Competing...12
Punishing...8

I guess I'm just a mean, angry, impatient old man.
I think I'll show this to my shrink. He drives an RX-7.

I was once told that talking to me will calm you down. Also, don't race. I get a lot more punishing and a lot more anger out as well as impatience. I am not at all into competing unless I get really mad and Ik now I can win.

Hmm...I made the stupid assumption that they sent the results via e-mail, otherwise, why even bothering asking? But I think I already know how bad my score would be. The only thing keeping me from becoming an extremely aggressive driver is the fact that I'm trying to take it easy on the SVX.

I don't know about aggressive; I don't drive fast unless I'm late or frustrated. Otherwise I probably drive a lot like your grandmother. If it wasn't for the 10W-30 incident, my tranny might last 500K miles...

I got a total of 17. I guess my pulse has ceased, or I lied a lot.
Actually: 1. I discovered the right lane moves just about as fast as the other three. 2. It doesn't bother me if someone on the right is merging & "cuts me off" trying to get into the right lane. I usually flash the lights & let'm merge. Most folks wave, "thanks".
3. I don't tailgate, & I believe the accident rate could be halved if people would simply realize that they can't see what's going on with the vehicle(s) in front of the one they're following; especially if they're behind a gawd awful SUV. 4. If someone tailgates me, I'll pull over & let'm pass. If they're tailgating me in the right lane, well.... that's where 15 of my 17 points came from, as I do feel compelled to flip the bird to these idiots. 5. I don't take incoming cell phone calls while driving, & if I MUST make a call I pull over where there's a clear signal & talk while parked. 6. I don't own a radar detector, but certainly enjoy following someone who does.

Just tryin' to survive - Ron.

Anger - moderate - 10
Impatience - Low - 4
Competing - High - 11
Puniching - High - 10

That's awfully strange... my passengers are often scared as hell when I'm at the wheel.

That score seems a bit low (although I did it twice and the first one was like 45). Now if they could just take a ride with me (especially on a bad day) I think I could manage at least 100.

Anybody ever had people try and force you off the road to fight you... when they were the ones who were being stupid and/or assholes in the first place?

Gee - I got a 12.

No, I am not dead, but I think that because I don't have to drive in a lot of traffic, it helps a lot. Most of the freeways that I drive on are only 2 lanes in each direction, sometimes 3 with little traffic. My blood does start to boil when I have to go to Seattle and do battle there. I stay away from there at all possible costs. I only have to drive 20 miles to work and most of that is on the freeway and can do the speed limit all the way there unless there is construction. Yep - I am very lucky.

Been there, done that. I have used my strobes to pull her over and then yelled at her. I never claimed that I was an officer of the law and I only have white strobes without any reds or blues so she did not have to stop but when she did stop, she got an earful
