Not only that Funt but road rage-y is pretty subjectional. I'm certain that there has to be some kind of parameter to define whats excessive and whats not. It can't be left up to opinion.
I got a ticket for tailgating ... in rush hour traffic.
I was not amused.

Are you sure you did not gas it to cut off the who cut you off? I know, because I do that all the time as well.
Actually there is a law against accelerating too quickly. It's supposed to be a way to allow officers to pull over/ticket people at stop lights or where ever who are starting to drag race.
Your violation didn't really violate the spirit of the law, and you're right in that you didn't really do anything wrong, but if a cop really wants to give you a ticket there's a myriad of ways in which they can pull something out of their ass to give one.
Challenge it.
Bull !!! Sounds like someone just wanted to give out a ticket.
Apparently the cop has a different opinion of what aggressive driving is and from what you describe I can clearly see why you were pulled over.
Nope. I hit the signal and then the gas to move into the right hand lane. I proceeded on that lane and made no attempt to move back over after the pass. I even let off the gas to not exceed the speed limit. I didn't even look at the face who cut me off. I restrained from making a scene over it.
That is how I think the cop saw it.
You got a ticket for driving a vette like a vette.
I described a lane change where the gas pedal was depressed. What exactly can you clearly see? I didn't bait the guy and I didn't return the cutoff. I made a ing lane change.
Have you never pressed the gas pedal and passed someone? Do you let off the gas to make a pass. To come to a ing crawl to make a lane change. STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME MELT.
take it to court
I think so. I signaled and stayed within the speed limit. I think I got a ticket because there was exhaust rumbling involved. Oh the humanity.
Thought and saw are two different things. I never returned to the other lane. Assuming I would retaliate shouldn't result in a ticket. So I'm guilty of a crime I have yet to commit?
I would completely understand if I received a ticket for acting like a jackass. Didn't happen.
On the right and to get away from a who'd just cut me off? Of course I have.
And every single time I was being slightly road rage-y and aggressive.
Just look at it as karma payback for not getting caught spraying that SUV with carb cleaner back in February. A rebalancing of the energy, so to speak.
Doesn't seem like it takes much to make you melt.
What I meant was that the cop saw you accelerate to pass someone who had just cut you off and that can be seen as aggressive driving. Isn't that hard for me to see that but I also only know your version of what happened.
If you feel that strongly you can tell it to the judge and see if he/she sees things your way....or the right way.
Sad to say but this is the most logical statement made in this thread.
You people justifying a completely unfounded ticket make me sick. I should have to actually commit a crime to be ticketed. No crime was committed.
Sorry to hear about your ticket Back to Basics. I understand your frustration.
Since you were not speeding and had a reasonable explanation for your actions, I do not see why the officer did not let you off with a warning.
Unless, maybe when he ran your lisence he saw the record of your other tickets, he concluded that you repeatedly drive recklessly.
I haven't seen anyone do that.
So what were these tickets for? Is it possible there is a pattern of semi-aggressiveness in your driving style?
