Road Rage: Search for a cure

How do you cure road rage?:
If you would have asked me earlier I would have described the horrific process of planned, murderous, rampages. Unfortunately there will always be more stupid drivers. The thing is, not every I see that is driving poorly is a bad driver. They might be a good driver having a fluke, off-day. Slaughtering these poor saps wouldn’t really be fair. I’d have to follow them around for a few days to try to get a solid sampling of their performance before dealing out execution.

Motivation:
I was taking a solid look at my life realizing that the most stressful part of my day is driving. I go nuts trying to get around people that are going 5 under, or people that are sitting in the fast lane for no apparent reason. Then there are all the people trying to kill me by doing things like, running stop signs, assuming I have a stop sign when I do not, pulling out in front of me for no reason, turning in front of me when I’m 10 feet away or even by pulling over to the side of the road and waiting till I’m about to pass you to try to flip a U-turn. All of these things have happened to me within the last month or two and something has to change.

Since murder is clearly out, I have another solution in the form of an experiment.

The Great Driving Experiment:

I got to thinking about this big source of stress in my life was trying to think of ways around it. I decided to preform and experiment for the next 2 weeks. I started this morning and will continue at least to the 15th of March. During these two weeks rather than trying to drive around the idiots I’ll just drive with them. Here are the rules:

  • No driving in the fast lane
  • No driving faster than traffic
  • No passing on the right
  • No throwing beer bottles at other cars when I’m upset
  • Drive conservatively
  • When I see traffic, no speeding up
  • That one probably requires a little explanation. Normally when I see cars bunching up, I speed up so I have more options for getting around them.

    Those are the basic rules that I’ll try to follow. I actually have more reasons that just stress to try this. Everyday I drive I pass people all day long and then I wonder how long I can keep it up before I have a crazy accident. I don’t want any crazy accidents so we’ll just see how this works out.

    That's the right idea, but driving in your 626 is really safe, so I'd see that as more of a cry for help. If you were driving in Jon's daewoo, you'd score off the charts.

    That's not a bad idea but if I drive all fast and crazy I get ultimate emo points (10 spliff emo points to be exact) because I'm technically trying to kill myself!

    you should drive sadly to see if you can score higher on your emo test.

    So...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em?

    Good luck.

    I was following an old man in Salt Lake last weekend turning left. He stopped 50 feet before the intersection, waited for a day or two, then finally turned. On the new street, he slowed way down and started drifting to the right...till he pulled over and stopped. So I went around him just in time for him to turn right back into me and clip my bumper! (on my car that's nothing to write home about) Nice one. Flip a U in the middle of the block, but don't bother signaling, or even looking for another car, and if you do hit something, don't worry about stopping to see if the car (or people) are OK. I'm sure they don't mind and would rather have you aimlessly targeting another victim.

    That's what you are up against. If you can match that in 15 days...you deserve a medal

    Worst... drivers .. . EVER!
