It still irritates me to be tailgated and cutoff and I want to retaliate<br />but have chosen to give the idiots their moment of superiority. I also experience that women are becoming as agreesive as men in their driving habits especially tailgating and changing lanes or drifting as I call it. Too many disturbed people and not enough police to handle the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-7663347029445129942010-11-13T08:06:20.412-05:002010-11-13T08:06:20.412-05:00Hi John.

It seems like e...Hi John. Nice hearing from you! <br /><br />It seems like every time I turn on the news there is a story about a road rage incident. You just don't know what is going on with the other person. In a recent incident, a man shot a woman while driving then went home and killed himself. <br /><br />Journeyman: Agreed...there are aggressive female drivers. Good tip on the calming technique. I will have to remember to share it the next time I am in the passenger seat and my husband is driving. :)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-21053587879181275002010-11-11T19:23:48.995-05:002010-11-11T19:23:48.995-05:00Road rage and aggressive driving is on the rise. ...Road rage and aggressive driving is on the rise. Women are starting to get in the game too, but it's still mainly men.<br /><br />One technique that helped me calm down while driving is using a mental process. When something happens on the road and I feel the anger start, I ask myself a couple of questions:<br /><br />Will I still be angry in 5 minutes?<br />In an hour?<br />The next day?<br /><br />If the answer to any of these is no, it's probably not worth it. <br /><br />This isn't really an answer to your question, but I hope it helps on the topic.Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146093025259375890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-68028300223957595112010-11-11T12:00:14.358-05:002010-11-11T12:00:14.358-05:00Yeah you have to have common sense when dealing wi...Yeah you have to have common sense when dealing with these types. Even with a accidental cutoff - aggressive driving is the wrong way to handle it.<br /><br />When I was young - my horrormones were raging and I did some dumb things. Luckily I had some sage figured that told me that even if someone is out of line - you don't know what may have happened in his life so better to give the benefit of the doubt and NOT respond in kind.<br /><br />As far as the Macho men, have you even seen that Saturday Night Live in the 70's where people almost bump into each other crossing the street and apologize and then get into their car and have a raging fit about who gets to pull out first? :)John W.
