It is funny that I don't get mad at people doing selfish or dangerous things when I am driving and my husband doesn't either nor our children or grandchildren. My parents and grandparent didn't either. I have heard and said "That was a damned dumb thing to do", or" I wonder why that guy is in such a hurry".
I would like to say that I am usually impatient and do things quickly and even don't have much patience with projects that aren't quickly done, but I am not angrily impatient and don't mind waiting in line.
I wonder what makes people more full of rage when they are driving as both these drivers apparently were. I would never think to engage in stopping my car and telling someone anything. I just wouldn't be that mad. Annoyed maybe, scared perhaps, very much on guard, absolutely.
I have seen worse driving here than in any place I have lived or driven. I think some people don't drive much where they are from and maybe take public transportation or drive long distances early and often the way we do in less populated areas. I doubt the horn on any of our cars has been used more than once a year. And for things like an animal sitting in the middle of the roadway.
Never having been a male with all that testosterone could add to my confusion. It seems that men more often than women engage in road rage and more men have had opinions on this thread.
Please be careful. We are getting crowded. Driving will be worse. We have new people who don't know their way around and unaccustomed to roundabouts and well...maybe driving a lot and many unused to taking stop signs seriously. I don't think we can change anyone's personalities. I feel sorry for the mates of those two hotheads we saw on that tape.
