Road Rage

             For millions of people driving has become a health risk, an economic risk, and a daily hassle, if not tragedy. Many people have died on the American highways, because of stress or maybe in a hurry to get home to the watch the football game or get to a Doctors appointment. There is a lack of civility and respect for fellow drivers, it just seems like no one cares anymore about anyone.
             When a person's day is through, he or she is ready to go home and unwind, maybe with a glass of wine, a beer, a little TV, or simply rest, but on the way home that person is a bomb waiting to explode. Their wall of stress is ready to burst out into anger. It is a lot easier to get mad or angry with someone you don't know than it is to get angry with a friend, co-worker or family member. If someone lights the person's fire by cutting in front of them, riding their bumper, or perhaps going too slow, he or she might burst. The explosion depends on the person. An aggressive person might have a more vicious rage than that of a shy person, but either way there is an apparent rage. Another important and interesting question to bring up is why is road rage more apparent now than say 50 years ago? There are many answers to this question, but the main drivers and only a limited number of roads. There are too many people in the cities and very bad traffic, which can make anyone mad.
             Road rage has killed many people on the highways. People get mad at other people for riding their bumper or showing hand gestures. Stress is a major pat of it whether it's taking care of the kids or being cramped in an office all day or just someone getting on your nerves. When people get upset or stressed over things, they don't use their best judgment and sometimes hurt other people by pulling a gun or a knife out on them. Road rage has accounted for two-thirds of all highway traffic deaths
