Road Rage

             Many things can cause road rage. Every driver has experienced rage at some point while driving. Rage causes many accidents, some of which resulting in death. It is a serious problem that nobody seems to be doing anything about.
             Road rage can start in many ways. We live in a fast paced society in which everyone is constantly in a rush to get everywhere. There is pressure to be at work on time, to get kids to soccer practice, or get home in time for an important phone call. If people could find a way to get out of their house ten minutes earlier, a lot of this unnecessary rage would be eliminated.
             A car ride is often a stressful experience. Often we find ourselves driving to places we do not want to be. Nobody wants to be driving to work at seven in the morning. When there is a road full of people who feel this way, there are often problems. In addition, people with nice cars feel it is their job to go faster than everyone else. This often involves swerving in and out of cars causing others to break fast and slow down traffic even more.
             The effects of road rage can be seen everywhere. It is all too common to see people giving other drivers the middle finger. If the receiver of the gesture decides to acknowledge it, the rage goes even further. It can be returned by honking a horn, riding with their high beams on, cursing, following the person very closely or even cutting them off. While all this is going on, they are not paying attention to what is going on around them. This can cause them to miss a stop sign, swerve out of their lane and possibly hit another car, or even not see a pedestrian crossing the street. Therefore, instead of letting someone go in front of you, an innocent person or people can be hurt or killed.
             Whatever the reason for road rage, there are no positive effects of it. It is something we see every day, and have not done anything
