Road Rage

When I first started driving I drove fast. I don't think I was a dangerous driver except for my speed. I was pulled over on the first day I had my drivers' licence for being over the speed limit! I think the policeman took pity on me as it was day one and let me off with a warning. Surprisingly enough I wasn't ever pulled over for speeding again (I should have been). I am much better these days so don't worry about being on the roads at the same time as me! But I have noticed that as I have become a better driver the rest of the road seems to have gone crazy.

Unfortunately, courtesy on the roads probably ended before it even appeared. When you get into your car, you must be prepared for virtually everything as it is becoming more and more dangerous and stressful to drive nowadays. ...  Read the complete review

Roadrage After reading the many reviews on here about this subject I decided to add my two-penneth for what it is worth! I have been the victim of road rage myself on many occasions. There are lots of factors to take into consideration when looking at this subject I feel. Many people, like myself, view a car as a necessary possession. This is essentially true, however, you can look at it from a different angle and say that it is a potentially lethal weapon. We’ve all gotten into a car and driven ourselves, loved ones and friends to many destinations when maybe we shouldn’t do. Stress, tiredness, having drunk alcohol maybe, having just ...  Read the complete review
