I drive 40 miles one way to work each day and fortunately have not experienced as much road rage from my fellow man lately. Several years ago it seem like everybody had a bad case of it. I think alot of it is driven by either their uncontrolled ego or their depression about their lot in life. In either case I usually just let them go past me and hope they don't stop.

Had a guy riding my ass several years ago in the evening, when he passed me he slowed down and shouted something (not nice I am sure) and then waved is single finger indicating his IQ level. He then proceded to pull in front of me and slow to a craw or to hit his brakes and then speed up. He did this for about 5 miles. Somewhere he lost sight of the fact that I was no longer behind him when he slammed on his brakes. He got his rear clipped by a dump truck that spun him off the road and into a ravine. I understand that a number of witness stopped to tell the attending officer of the guy's a**hole antics.

In another instance, on a major interstate near me, a guy driving an 18 wheeler got pissed off with a guy in front of him who was driving the speed limit. The 18 wheeler nudged up against the guy's rear bumper and proceeded to push the guys car down the road at over 65 mph, before the cops got there. The truck driver is still serving his 10 year sentence and rightfully so. He was just one freaking idiot we don't need out there.
