Default Road Rage

Saw a perfect example of Road Rage yesterday, noone got hurt but 2 cars got bumped (no sig damage)

Both guys sort of effected me and both, that's both appologized to me, then went on screaming at each other etc etc etc....... whole thing was at 20 to 30 mph

Then this morning I noticed this interesting article on cnn.com

Never seen this between bikes but it's amazing how people grown ***** when they're in their cars........

I always slow down and make a space for other cars merging onto the freeway, or make a space for people trying to change lanes, or even slow up in heavy traffic and let people make left turns where there's no left turn light. I get the strangest looks and waves of thanks from cars with out-of-state license plates, as if to say thatnobody in their home state would EVER be courteous like thatto another driver. I believe it allcomes back around. I'm always grateful when somebody elsedoes the same for me.

I saw the list today on the NEWS and I don't even think DC was in the top 5
Not that I've been down there But I have heard Many many times Miami Driving is the pits
and Road Rage is the Norm

Yeah, its bad here in the DC area, too many people and not enough space. I'll avoid the main roads at all costs, get my enjoyment out of runnin the backroads. Even when you're nice to people and let them in they act like they DESERVE to be let in. Fargggin bastidges....

To many Azzholes out there who like to F*ck with bikers,

I believe that a little aggressive response may deter future acts from these Azzholes,
