Road rage is less in Holland because.....
I live and work in a major city in Holland, not that chav-infested cess-pit Amsterdam before you ask, and am both a cyclist and motorist. I’m also a Brit.

I wasn’t going to submit to this QOTW but after seeing all the cyclists and motorists arguing I though I would, so here goes:

Motorists and cyclists in the UK will never agree, each wants to take the high ground and can’t see the other’s point of view.

Road rage is much less in Holland - Because everyone cycles, the cyclists have separate lanes (with separate traffic lights), most drivers are also cyclists, and the dutch are not as defensive as the Brits and won’t go off half-cocked just because someone has transgressed “their” bit of road.

The fact that everyone cycles in Holland means that the population are also much fitter (remember that Britain is the fattest country in Europe, especially Oop North) and after growing up cycling all the dutch birds are MUCH fitter than the average skanky, fat howler-monkeys you get in the UK.

Coming back to the UK occasionally really shows me how the UK really is just full of fat, ignorant, arrogant twunts who would rather sit in their cars all day hurling abuse at everyone else than getting out and getting some exercise to get rid of their aggression.

I don’t want to start a big debate about why Holland is better than the UK, because in many ways it’s not – But as far as road rage, cycling and a fitter population goes they’ve got it sussed!

By the way, don’t bother e-mailing me to tell me about how Holland is flat and therefore easier to cycle around – I already know that. Just go and buy yourself a bike you fat twunt (and one for your fat bird)!
