Road Rage

And here i thought Road rage was a uniquely american problem.

Yes we have it here, i know its bad in california. Ive been prone to it on a few occasions myself. My tin foil hat theory is that the amount of road rage that exists, is directly prorptionaly too how overcrowded an area is.

But yes.. i have seen and been in some good examples of road rage. The thing about playing road games is, theres always someone out there who is a little mroe pissed off then you are, and they probably have a gun. That thought keeps me in check most of the time. But when the other bastard eggs you on, its sometimes hard to remember. Most of the time i let it go, but ive occasionally not.

Another funny thing is sometimes when i drive home from work, i will deliberatly go around in a circle once or twice to make sure no one from the freeway is following me to see where i live. You never know when something you did (either accidently or intenionally) has pissed someone off. So ill occasinnlay do a round robin around the local neghborhood when i see theres a car behind me that came off the freeway offramp with me. I know this sounds paranoid, but my wife has had someone follow her off the freeway, and she ended up driving to the police station before they stopped following her. And ive had a "tail" once or twice myself.
