Road Rage and Apathy

While it’s a small sample – 745 Ontarians and 235 Albertans – its findings are intriguing. The survey defines road rage as “honking, flashing lights, obscene gesturing, tailgating, slamming brakes, colliding into another vehicle intentionally, rolling down the window to yell at or cutting off other drivers, cyclists or pedestrians or getting out of your vehicle to confront others.”

I can’t write enough negative things about drivers who commit road rage. They deserve society’s scorn and retribution. Tailgaters, or those who try to collide with other vehicles or who get out of their cars to start fights, should be forced to suffer all the torments of hell (it gets a bad rap, but one of Hell’s upside’s is that it is full of road ragers). In a more enlightened era, they would have been burned at the stake. Sadly, such a golden age has passed.
