My take on road rage.

First, we are all guilty of it a little bit unless you have led a charmed life. Second, most of us at some point it another have been the cause of it. Let say for instance you just found out your child was rushed to the hospital. You make an illegal u-turn and cut someone off or and I know a couple of people that do this next one. You speed up because you don't want that person to gut in front of you no matter what. Now I understand you can't be a door mat for others and that there are just plain and simple bad drivers. The kind that you wonder if the person that gave them their license was fully awake that day. But, most of the people that do stupid things that get you mad probably have something going on in their lives that has been the indirect cause for the temporary laps of judgement. It could be any number of things. A death in the family that you have to get to the funeral, a sick child you need to pick up meds for, a husband or wife layer off from work and now you have to get to work to keep the only income coming into the house. Just think before you rage if you can about what they might have going on that would cause them to do something so careless.

If you have just been trying to merge for a half hour because there is road construction and it's going from 3 lanes to 1; and now someone wants to merge in front of you. Think of the frustration you just had. They now have that same frustration unless you make it easier on them. I guess what I and trying to say is put yourselves in their shoes.
