Road Rage

Tuesday, while traveling out of town, driving 60 in a 55, two vehicles passed me honking, yelling (with their windows up) and giving me the finger. I thought the second one was gonna try and run me off the road as he drifted closer and closer to me. My passenger side was in the gravel shoulder by now. No, they weren't trying to run me off the road for my CS blog posts. If you really want to see people pissed off, drive the speed limit on a two lane highway. On this same highway, a year ago, a dude was passing someone and I either got off the road, or we may have hit head on. But, he pulled off too and was yelling across the highway at me. No idea what he was saying.

I've had people do their best to cause me to hit them in the rear end as they pull over in front of me and hit their brakes hard.

One dude, on a country road, came up behind me so fast I pulled over and stopped. Coincidentally, I had to follow him all but the last three blocks to my home. When we finally turned different ways he stopped, jumped out of his truck, and was standing in the road yelling wanting me to come back. I didn't know the dude or have any clue what his problem was.

Last Sunday, one hour from us, there was a road rage incident which resulted in six people doing a beat down on each other in a turn lane. Four people were arrested for criminal damage, mob action, and aggravated battery. Two weren't arrested.

What in the hell is wrong with people?
