RE: [DMCForum] Road Rage.

I would like to second that about the law enforcement doing something.
There was an officer on TV here locally that stated, "if you are driving
slower than the rest of the traffic, we will pull you over and give you a
ticket.  You are a danger to everyone else around you."  I have never seen
that happen.

But the law enforcement doesn't always know what is legal, believe it or
not.  A friend was pulled over for running a red light when he turned left
on red, which is legal.  The officer had to call in to verify it was and let
him go.   That had to be embarrassing.

Testosterone.. Hmm.. Interesting.  So, maybe those of
us that suffer from "road rage" are more manly??  :)

It is great that your friend is so good at controlling
his anger, the rest of us may not be so perfect.  But
again, I make the point that the focus is always on
those of us who become enraged.  That we are the bad
guy for letting human emotions temporarily make us
behave in irrational ways.  How about some focus on
the situations that cause the anger??  How about some
of the highway patrol professionals out there start
handing out tickets for people "riding the left
lane"....  I'd bet there would be a lot less
tail-gating, speeding, and reckless driving.

Just like tossing a cigarette out of the window,
Americans are just too selfish.  Most don't give a
crap about anyone else.

One thing I will say about the letter below, the
author had a good grasp on both the cause and effect
of road rage...  and the cross country boxing match
was funny!  :)
