Road rage?
Why do some people feel the need to treat others with reckless endangerment? EG: Tonight. I’m driving home from work at 9pm (as I do every weeknight). I’m driving along a dark country road, behind a car, with another car behind me. We turn left onto an even darker road, going uphill on double lines, when WHOOOOOSH! From the car behind me comes a lunatic in a Commodore, travelling at well over 140kph and overtakes all three of us. Narrowly avoiding a head-on collision with a truck! Now this is a two lane road……had they collided, it would have been all over for all of us! There was nowhere to go. I was soooo angry. Now I’m the first to admit that I don’t always adhere strictly to driving laws. I find speed limits somehow……limiting. I occasionally overtake in less than optimal circumstances, but NEVER, in my entire life, have I done something so completely stupid and dangerous. I mean, really, if that driver wants to commit suicide, that’s fine with me. Just don’t take the rest of us with you buck!
