I was almost run off the road yesterday by a driver who thought I cut him off, he easily weighed 350+ lbs. It left me thinking, "why did that cause him to lose his s*@#, but apparently nothing else in his life gets his heart rate above 80bpm."

Is Road Rage the norm or not?

I ran you off the road because you cut me off you dildo. Then I tried to convince you to follow me to the Sonic parking lot, but apparently you were too big of a pussy.

In my experience, road rage only happens when drunk.

Everyone driving faster than you is an a-hole. Everyone driving slower than you is an a-hole.

Conclusion: most drivers are assholes.

We're you going 15 mph under the speed limit in the left lane? If so, expect road rage.

Oh, so I see you frequently drive in the Columbia area as well.

I think you would see a dramatic decrease in road rage if people just simply would pick a speed they want to travel and then get right when someone faster than them is coming. Speed matching and just wanting to keep left or dive immediately for the left lane is too much of an ego thing for people.

For me it's because I have or could have my wife and children in my vehicle.

Your stupid fricking decisions put my and their lives in danger, yet again, because of your stupid decisions. If that happens in any other facet of life of you endangering a man or his family for no reason you get punched in your fricking face

Because people do things in cars that they would never do to people while walking down the sidewalk. It also gives people a false sense of security and dehumanizes the experience.

Everybody in front of you is a maniac.
Everybody behind you is an idiot.

So you freak out and engage in dangerous behavior with your family in the car? Sounds like you're much more of a danger to them than other drivers.

If everyone driving would just think of the story about the boy dying in Santa's arms there would be almost no road rage.

You have obvious not played my favorite game in Disney World. Ping Pong the South American. It's when they won't move out of the way while blocking the entire walking path and you see how many times you can bounce them off someone as you give them a shoulder check as you pass them.

Because people in general are idiots. When you put those idiots in cars, they can easily kill you.

Not at all what I said. Began my post with the caveat that they may or may not be in the car, but either way they could have been.

Also never said anything about "dangerous behavior" and that's not the only way road rage can be shown.

I guess I found one of the dumbasses driving 90 swerving in and out of cars with a foot a leeway tho
