Road Rage

AdelaideNow... Mum's warning on road rage terror
"I think he was wary about his actions because other people (in cars) were there. You hear about so many things that happen (in road rage) these days and I was worried.

Well, hopefully one of those people got the number plate of the angry young man. it's anywhere , anytime stuff at the moment and you really do have to drive defensively for two reasons. Firstly you don't want to annoy anyone because the extreme reactions are indeed disconcerting. Then, people tend to do as they please on the road...like the guy this afternoon who decided to do a U Turn right in front of me because he wanted to meet the truck on the other side of the road. Then there was the pedestrian outside my place this afternoon because the van coming into next door had to wait before it had a clear run into the driveway and he had to back it in slowly. So the pedestrain waved his arms and gesticulated and ranted on....like he couldn't cross the road and carry on walking on the other side?! Adelaide is totally up itself at the moment. Very self absorbed, self serving and self centred and the anger associated with it if you just want o carry on as normal is unbelievable. It's very arrogant behaviour from some of us at this point in time and the fuses are short. A lesson in consideration wouldn't go astray.
