Mistakes on the road can also lead to road rage. For instance, if a driver makes a wrong turn and suddenly cuts in front of someone else, the other driver might become enraged. Sometimes, it's not even a big mistake but the stress of driving and the fear of an accident can make people overreact. Also, some people just have short tempers in general and the slightest thing on the road can set them off into a fit of rage.
One common element is aggressive driving like tailgating. For example, a driver who is angry might follow another vehicle too closely, which is very dangerous. Another is the use of offensive language. Often, angry drivers will shout and curse at each other. Also, physical threats are common. Drivers may threaten to harm each other, either by hitting or causing damage to the other's vehicle.
There was this incident where a woman was driving a bit too slowly for the taste of the car behind her. The angry driver behind her started to overtake her in a very dangerous way, nearly hitting oncoming traffic. Then he pulled in front of her and slammed on his brakes. The woman was terrified as she thought she was going to crash into him. It just shows how unpredictable road rage can be.
One common element is the presence of strange figures. Like a ghostly apparition that suddenly appears on the road or by the roadside. Another is the malfunction of vehicles in spooky places, which adds to the sense of helplessness.
One possible cause could be impatience. In Las Vegas, there's a lot of traffic, and people may be in a hurry to get to work, the casino, or other destinations. Another cause might be stress. People may already be having a bad day and a small traffic incident just sets them off. Also, some drivers may have a short temper by nature.
A common rage story is also getting lost in the game world. Dark Souls has a complex layout, and sometimes you can end up going in circles for ages, not finding the way forward. You might be low on health items and desperate to find the next bonfire, but the convoluted paths keep leading you astray. This can make players really frustrated.
Well, the most common causes in forklift horror stories are often related to the operators. Inexperienced operators may not know how to handle the forklift correctly. They might not be aware of the safety procedures like checking the load balance. Also, mechanical failures due to insufficient maintenance are quite common. For instance, if the tires are worn out or the engine has issues, it can cause accidents. Moreover, overloading the forklift is a major cause. People sometimes try to move more than the forklift can handle, which can lead to tipping over.
In the car accident stories I've heard, fatigue is a significant cause. Drivers who are tired may fall asleep at the wheel, especially on long trips. Another common factor is inexperienced drivers. They may not be fully aware of the rules of the road or how to handle different driving situations. And sometimes, road conditions such as potholes or debris on the road can also contribute to accidents.
There was a case where two drivers were arguing in the middle of the road. One was blaming the other for a near - miss. As they were shouting, a stray dog came and stole a sandwich from one of the drivers who had left it on his car hood. They both forgot about their argument and started chasing the dog. It was hilarious. The whole situation just defused the road rage. And it was quite a sight to see these two angry men running after a dog.
Darkness is a common element. When it's dark, the unknown seems scarier. Also, strange noises, like howls or creaking sounds.
There was a case where a motorcyclist got into an argument with a car driver over a minor incident like not giving enough space while passing. The motorcyclist, in a fit of rage, followed the car to a parking lot. Once there, he kicked the car's door repeatedly and even tried to break the window while screaming obscenities at the terrified driver inside.
