I think law enforcement can only go so far without starting to impose a
dictatorial atmosphere which we rather not have.  Yes, continue law
enforcement activities, but we cannot rely solely on that to reduce the
epidemic of aggressive driving and road rage.

We need a soical-cultural transformation, a change in norms of
aggressiveness behind the wheel.  We need to take charge with car
commercials and movies and tell advertisers and sponsors that we care
about depicting and encouraging bad driving behavior on the screen. 
Maybe we need an additional rating on movies -- not just Adult language,
Violence, Nudity, Sex -- but also BD for Bad Driving Behavior!
