I think Rahul simply forgets that he is dealing with wetware instead of 
hardware.  Rahul, let the nutcases go, they'll get off the freeway faster
that way and be less pissed off if we're all lucky.  Ever think there might
be a relation between the number of contrarian drivers the nutcase has to
deal with and their anger level?  And it might be exponential?  And packet
collisions are much cheaper than automobile collisions?

Yeah, even when I was a teenager I felt that way.  People would push me to
race, and I would just say "why?"  They don't understand that some people
like to go fast and yet not be competitive about it.
