In our society, I think that people are generally stressed out, and sometimes all it takes is that one more incident (insert cliche about the straw and camel's back) to set someone off. More often than not, it's probably misdirected life frustrations and anger. <BR/><BR/>Life is too short to let other people's anger issues affect me in a negative way. I just bless them and keep on driving.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702292135795376018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19645714.post-1138994092880100592006-02-03T13:14:00.000-06:002006-02-03T13:14:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702292135795376018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19645714.post-1136904952869204732006-01-10T08:55:00.000-06:002006-01-10T08:55:00.000-06:00I think our strict rules of he roadmcreate a high ...I think our strict rules of he roadmcreate a high expectation of how driving should be conducted. When those rules are disregarded, the high expectations are unmet. That high level of disappointment is what creates road rage. When expectations are low, you have little disappointment. Just think of how little road rage exists where the rules are few, like on a gravel country road.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593292323644117795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19645714.post-1136495984974777092006-01-05T15:19:00.000-06:002006-01-05T15:19:00.000-06:00I think most people subconsciously consider their ...I think most people subconsciously consider their car as an extension of themselves. Getting cut off in traffic is like being shoved when your in line at the cineplex. In Thailand and Guatemala, people have a much smaller personal space. When they get into cars, that translates into what we would consider tailgating and other traffic sins. So raod rage is really persoanl rage at having your personal space violated.Chip Burkitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817016103778281416noreply@blogger.com
