It's my belief that Karma only works when the transgressor knows exactly WHY the bad thing is happening to him. Otherwise he'll think it's just random bad luck.

Road rage=death for some people.

Life is too short to die for a useless cause.

Here in So Cal I experience this kind of thing everyday I'm on the road and have learned to just let them go.

No offense is meant by this question, but isn't taking photos of ahole drivers that cut you off, while you are still driving, kind of unsafe also?

I've been lucky enough to see about 3 people do something a-holeish only to have a cop pop out and pull them over right afterwards, so I usually just hope for that and realize that if someone always drives like that, they are bound to be pulled over sometime or another.

Check out the tailpipes, must be the "little oval" option.

My thoughts exactly.

As much as I find German Autobahns boring (in comparison to roads in the Black Forest or the Alps ), this is one issue I rarely have to deal with there...



A co-worker just sent me that one...priceless!

Try riding a motorcycle, and the a-holes double in quantity.

There is another side of the coin though. A lot of road rage is blamed on everyone but the drivers that cause it; the ignorant and selfish left lane dreamers.
Try riding a bicycle and the a-holes go up by a factor of ten.....

That's funny...I stay off the mountain roads on weekends because of all the a-holes on motorcycles and bicycles...

Truth is, the "A-holedness Syndrome" is not limited to any one segment of society. The syndrome cuts across gender, race, age, educational and income levels. Their mode of transportation just varies.

Oh, and it will be worse today and this weekend because it's a full moon.

That is the best advice. The older I get, the more luck I have doing it.
