Take YOUR ego out of it, defuse the situation and make the best of your day...
You have ZERO moral ground to beef with the idiot when you are being just as much of a jerk!
When a fool & a wise man argue, onlookers can't tell the difference, and it's YOUR panties that get bunched up.
Road Rage is entirely an ego driven thing, no one else cares other than to avoid TWO idiots now instead of one...
I agree, his response assumes that road rage/being angry with dumb drivers is binary. Personally I yell at idiots daily but once I yell at them I continue about my business without giving them another thought if they aren't causing me any safety issues. Very rarely do I ever take any action but sometimes I will get aggressive to ex-filtrate myself from the idiot driver's bad habits. I'm sure some would consider that road rage but I've never felt the need to follow anyone or try to "punish" them.Interesting.
I see your response from a few different angles.
Yes I get seriously pissed off when people do stupid things and endanger me and mine. EGO has zero to do with this.
Not sure if I should be "Dissed" by your preaching or just improve my situation and pay you no heed.
As to Knob Creek...........enjoy.
And while we're listing the bad habits of drivers I'll throw out one of my big pet peeves, traveling on an entrance to the interstate at 20 - 30 mph under the interstate speed and attempting to accelerate only after you've reached the interstate. This has the secondary impact of causing the drivers already on the interstate to merge left or right in avoidance of said fool.
