Road rage, it is getting worse.?

?.?:*??*:??"Lindsey?.?:*??*

i think it's getting worse-everyone is such in a hurry these days that when someone does something to tick you off, they tailgate, flip you off, cut in front of you, or even worse pull a gun.
i hear stories on the news about this happening on freeways a-lot.
i do try to drive defensively, and if someone does something to get me mad i just try to calm down and back off. (it's safer that way than to retaliate.)

Road rage ratings peak in January, slowly drop until August, and then slowly increase till January again.

Yes, it is!

If you'd get out of my way - HONK, HONK - I'd answer your question!

I think maybe minor road rage is getting worse; I'm not sure if the most violent kind is. It seems like we heard more about it 5-8 years ago. That may be because we're getting used to it, sadly.

Yes it is!

i think it has a lot to do with our driving style. If we are agressive ourselves, we are asking for it.

It is, reason for it is there is more stupid drivers out there that think they own the road, and they can cut anyone off the want.

I am probably the leader of road rage in Minnesota... Seems to be everyone is in a big hurry to get ahead of me so they pass me going 90 MPH then get in front of me and slow down down to 60 and cause a back up..

Thats enough to tick anyone off isn't it?

Or better yet busy highway some guy can't pass so he passes on the shoulder, everytime I see that I make sure they go in the ditch... while waiting for a tow truck they can sit there and think about how stupid it was to do such a thing.

Ok I'm done talking about this.... or I could go all night.

I definately agree! Part of it is there are so many people out there who can't drive worth crap!

stephers1991

Yes, especially the kids these days.

Definately, but there are people out there who really do not know how to drive because they are constantly cutting you off, just the other day i was cut off 7 times in 5 hours and when theres people that can;t drive or pay attentoin to the road there are gonna be people who are anrgy with drivers.

I think it is. People get aggressions from their day and take it out while driving, which causes more accidents. To bad everyone cant just be happy all the time.

I would have to say it has escalated. But you have to look at our society. Everyone is impatient. You have longer commutes than you did years ago. You definitely have more cars. Years ago, you only had newpapers, shaving, and makeup to do in a car, and now you have everybody either talking on the phone, texting, and doing other things. We have lost all courtesy with everyone. Some are good, but everyone has bad days.
