What they are calling road rage I would agree with. Using one's vehicle as a weapon is stupid and should be severely punished. Calling Interstate speeding equivalent to road rage is just plain stupid though, providing one isn't attempting to do it through heavy traffic. My response to being tailgated is to get out of the way if I can, if I don't have that option I let a little more space open up between me and the guy in front of me. Should stopping be required, I can balance my braking against that of the guy behind me with the extra room. If I'm cut off, I back off. The last thing I want to do is be involved in an accident and close proximity to another vehicle runs counter to that theory. What I find interesting is your assumption that if a driver exceeds the speed limit they must be a time bomb waiting to go off. And your debating style is truly effective in demonstrating the correlation... -- Brandon "Spooooooooooonnnnn!"
