Road Rage

Do you have road rage? Do you get angry easy when people do something wrong on the road?



Have you ever been a victim of road rage?

No, I do not have road rage, but I do have road rage towards others who have road rage. Just yesterday when we where leaving the hospital we were turning left out of the parking lot and we had to go sort of slow because pedestrians were crossing the crosswalk. The car behind us got impatient and went into the opposing lane and just went past us in a completely illegal manner. He would of hit someone had they been crossing the other direction. We got behind him and kept our hand on that horn until the message got across that he could of killed someone crossing the street.

Last time I was involved with what could be considered road rage was last summer. I was riding my motorcycle and was behind a cager with two guys inside. One was the driver and the other a front seat passenger. The speed limit on the road was 55 MPH and they would speed up and then slow down to 30 MPH. As they would slow down, they were throwing lit cigarettes, empty cans and trash onto the road in front of my bike. I had to swerve several times to avoid putting my bike down. They obviously wanted me to go down but I was able to ride the shoulder of the road. I got their plate number and called my location into the police. Didn't take but 3 minutes for the State Troopers to respond. They pulled the cager over and both men were arrested for Intent to Harm and also received a $500 fine for littering. At no point during any of this did I even flip them the finger as people are crazy now-a-days and have shot or beaten people for doing what they consider road rage. I want to cuss and flip someone off but it's not worth losing my life over.
