It is, but it's real.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

It is, but it's real.

Oh I know. I've witnessed it.

 

[Darkwind]

It is, but it's real.

Just get into a discussion about passing, the left lane, and speeding and you'll understand that when it comes to driving, America is ******* nuts.

So is break checking someone.

Agreed. But then again, most of us don't have anger issues... I hope.

'Brake'.

 

[hjmick]

'Brake'.

Thanks.

I knew that and now I am embarrassed. But, we all make mistakes and I'll write this one up to being tired... I've been up since 5:30 this morning...

I fly the bird

Before I get behind the wheel, I tell myself that at least three people are going to piss me off with the way they drive.

Got a friend who refuses to do even that. His reasoning, you never know who has a gun. This thread kind of proves that. Poor girl didn't deserve that and neither did the baby.

road rage comes in all colors and forms .. the best way to prevent road rage is to drive reasonably and safely .. if you do that you're probably going to have less interaction with someone road raging .. I've seen white little old ladies have bouts of road rage .

There are many things in this world that are worth killing for. To protect your life or the lives of others. To protect property. To safeguard your nation.

But, not because someone was rude to you in traffic.

Little old ladies rarely go around strapped.
