I'm done, you don't make no sense and threaten road rage when you don't get your way.
HAHA! I've encouraged road rage as a solution?

Reading comprehension would do a lot of good for the lot of you. My main point this entire time is traffic flowing along is safer than one jackass slowing down way below the limit to try and teach the other jackass a "lesson". I have yet to encourage in my words actual speeding (above the limit) as safer, my main point is that flowing traffic is. I'm using the terms you guys use for anyone who is going faster than yourselves (who are, admittedly going below the limit). Those terms have usually been "herd speeding" etc etc.

Road rage statistics are hard to calculate due to the circumstances involved as admitted by many of the sources I've seen (Including HPD). Mainly because road rage involves MANY dangerous driving habits and thusly tends to water down road rage as a cause.

Please, logically explain to me how this:

If they don't back off, or in worse cases, they get closer, I just slow down more.

The margin of safety increases with each MPH I decrease...
Is safer than a smooth flow of traffic..

I mean, really, slowing your car down to BLOCK TRAFFIC and START ROADRAGE is as safe as EVERYBODY MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED? Damn, I'll hit that 2 lane black top doing 10mph! And when someone objects, I'll go slower!

Also, cite your source on the 95% number. As the NHTSA claims much lower at 30%. NHTSA is a much sounder source than the air.



Good evening to all. If you believe being a self righteous jackass in an attempt to teach someone a lesson is a good idea, I have no business even arguing. When you attempt to control the road, you become a problem. You are just as bad as that woman on the cell phone while yelling at her kids in an SUV who's tail gating you to try and control your driving.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
