Road Rage

Jun 05, 2007 20:18

I was in a line of cars waiting to make a left turn from a major road onto a side road. There's a left-turn lane and a green arrow, so there's no rush to make the turn if there isn't a safe break in oncoming traffic, but the green arrow had come and gone and it was just a regular green light then ( Read more... )

Rage returned

I hope the police didn't find a single brake-mark leading up to the bloody trail.

The gene pool REALLY needs its chlorine freshened!

Rage returned? Should I know what that means?

Rage returned... only to the road raging driver who felt his unjustifiable acts were physically worth threatening others' safety. I would have probably called the police -- to let them know what I was about to do to the guy.

Gotcha. It wouldn't have been worth risking yourself, though.

Ooh, yeah, he was totally channeling SLJ: "Honk again! Go on, honk again, bitch!"

I wasn't quickwitted enough to take a picture of his license plate with my cellphone. I wish I had.

I see this nonsense every day. I'm not exagerating. This area (Maryland side of DC) really sucks for road rage.

blueeowyn and I just got back from two weeks of R&R travelling to West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and back home again to Maryland (roller coasters!). We were in Charleston, Louisville, Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, Pittsburgh, Toledo. Not in any of those places did I feel stressed while driving. Yet here, I feel the stress every single day.
