Don't let this happen to you! Keep driving and send us a post when you get home. It's not worth stepping out and getting mad!

Bike Messenger Hit

noreply@blogger.com (Platerage) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:30:00 +0000

I have often wondered about these poor guys, they must feel so much rage all day long. Trying to bike around in traffic all day with all those bad drivers. This poor guy gets hit in times square New York and all his small mailing tubes go flying, then things get interesting! He Freaks out and rightfully so! You get that ASS. Since I live downtown and walk and bike everywhere I can really sympathize with this dude, especially since he is only trying to do his job. I have also driven in NYC and it's pretty crazy, people just go where they need to and hope they don't hit anyone. Well in this case some one did get hurt and I am glad that he got up even though he was mad, when I first saw it I thought that the driver was going to keep going but I am glad he stopped and took it like a man.

Here at Platerage we are trying to remove bad driving from the road, so if you see anything like this and have a road rage to submit please do so. We would love to hear from you, at our site we also have news and pictures for everyone. Thanks for reading!

Driver Runs Red Light

Wow, this video is crazy. Not sure how this terrible driver made it out alive. I would totally roadrage if he ran this light in front of me.

Car Causes Longboarder To Wipe Out - Watch more free videos

I saw this crazy video on Break.com. This driver clearly has a case of roadrage. He passes these guys and then slams on his brakes. All of you drivers who have anger issues regarding cyclists, longboarders, couriers, pedestrians etc. chill out! Remember that your car can easily kill someone. Just because your commute got lengthened by 5 seconds because they were in your way, running them over or doing something stupid could land you in jail!

Hope He Has Insurance

To keep with the theme of bad drivers hitting buildings, I thought I would post this video. Seems like the home owner is going to need to take out a home loan to get that damage fixed. I wish there was more of an explanation regarding why the reckless driver hit the house. He must have been drunk! I hope no one is that stupid. I wish someone would have reported this bad driver before the situation got out of hand. Luckily the damage doesn't look too bad and hopefully the home owners don't need to look into home loans to pay for the damage. Home loans are fairly easy to get but by the look of things the crazy driver didn't do much damage and everything is going to be fine, I am glad the home owner's son was OK!

This type of video seems to be a growing theme on the internet these days. . .security camera catching someone drive into a building, road block, pedestrian, tree, parked car, sign, lamp post, whatever! As funny as they are, it scares me to share the road with these guys/girls!!

Cop Body Checks Cyclist! Poor Bikers

noreply@blogger.com (Platerage) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 03:19:00 +0000

This is crazy! I am sure many of you have heard of critical mass. While if you haven't it's basically an event where cyclists take back the streets from the cars. It started in San Fransisco and has been gaining momentum all around the world. Last Friday in New York they had a critical mass, everything seems peaceful until one cop loses it! I am not sure what happened, I think maybe the cop wanted the cyclist's Cheap Sunglasses so he decided to body check him. I guess everyone has those brain farts! So some words of advice for all cyclists don't wear nice cheap sunglasses and if you see any road rage go to platerage!

Not a road rage rant, but some people are just so dumb!

noreply@blogger.com (Platerage) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 02:53:00 +0000

I know this isn't road rage related, but I saw it the other day and had to post it. Since most of the rants on our site involve stupid people, I thought I would show you just how dumb some people are! This guy should stay home and play online Texas Holdem, instead of going to a casino and doing this dumb stuff! Basically this guy is playing blackjack at a casino and he decides to wager some pot instead of money. It's pretty funny but serious dude! The silly part is you can sit at home and play Texas Holdem poker online and smoke and wager all the pot you want! What a moron. I thought you all would enjoy the video, I found it pretty funny and it just goes to show that stupidity doesn't just happen on the road, it's all around us! The only words of advice that I have for this guy are Texas Holdem online!

Road Rage On Craigslist!!

So, driving home from work today I have some fuckwad tailing me, just banging on the horn. I look in my rear view and it is some dork in a BMW or Mercedes or some other overpriced piece of shit. I can see dude's veins bulging in his forehead and literally I can see the specks of saliva splashing off the windshield and he is LEAAAANNNNNING over the steering wheel yelling at me as if this was going to help me hear him better.

By the looks of him, he is a pretty big dude. So, unluckily for me, I have to stop at a light. At this point, my girlfriend is kind of freaking out. I am probably, 5-7 or 5-8 with my hair standing up and don't weigh much more than a buck fifty, maybe 60 after a big meal. Never been much of a fighter, didn't really have to. I have to say, it kind of freaked me out. So, of course Mr Testosterone has to get out of his car and confront me. Like I said, he looked big, and when he got beside me, unfortunately again for me, he was probably 6-2 and maybe 200-220. Dressed in a pretty sharp suit with no jacket and his tie loosened. Probably had a pretty bad day as he proceeded to call me everything but an english speaking white man. On and on, if I was to get out of the car he'd beat my ass blah blah blah. Finally he called me a little cocksucker and then he told my GF that I was a bitch. LOL. The old bitch card.

So, I continued to look straight ahead, I rolled my window down, maybe a 1/3, not quite half and asked him if he was having a bad day. Without warning, Road Rage Guy punches at me. Fucking longest light in the history of Vancouver right here...sadly for him, his big fucking mitt hit most of my window--shaking his hand he yelled for me to get out of the car--LOL, here is where it gets funny.

I am still looking straight over my steering wheel. He takes one step closer to the car to open it as the light changes. Again, sadly for this fucking meathead, I had already locked the door, still looking ahead, I lunge through my partially opened window, grab him by his tie and pull him towards my car, frantically I rolled up my window and hit the gas, dragging this fuckwad through the intersection--have you ever seen a cursing, swearing salesman do a sidestep at 15 KM/H? I am still kind of laughing, and of course my GF thinks it is hilarious--I am still a little pissed off that I didn't hit 30 and drag this fucking monkey through the streets of Vancouver.

So, if you were the dork that assaulted me, too bad you are a such dick head, but I sincerely hope that you have another tie and pair of dress shoes, those shoes have to be scuffed the fuck up. I do admire your agility at running beside my car doing cross overs. Your football training probably saved your life.
