I agree. I am almost always quite laid back, except when I get stuck
behind some slowpoke going 25 in a 40 zone. This always happens when I'm
late for something, and I usually catch myself driving more quickly to
make up for the time wasted by the moron who was in front of me.

I can definitely see why this would contribute to a road rage problem.

One of the universal signs of a drunk driver, besides weaving, is
someone driving much above or below the speed limit. Her driving 17mph
below the limit and not stopping for the police would probably give a
cop every reason to suspect a drunk driver at first.
