I read about and even witness first hand more and more road rage incidents occurring on our roads.

What is it with people who wouldn't say boo to a goose in any other environment but put them behind the wheel of a vehicle and they become a totally different person, being abusive and displaying threatening behaviour, until you catch up with them that is and confront them and then they suddenly reverse back to someone you'd expect to be having tea with the vicar!

This is a bit OTT though!

If you chase, catch up with and confront someone who has flipped you off or something then who is really in the wrong?

I normally just laugh at people when they get wound up, not worth letting an idiot spoil your day.

Surely the 2 guys driving the other lorry got his reg number though???
There must be hundreds of cameras on that stretch of road aswell??
 
What ever the reasons for road rage, I have driven all over Europe and enjoyed driving, I mean really enjoyed it, but when I get back to the UK and get stuck in bloody traffic after traffic jams. My flippin bp rises.
I wrote a blog the other month about the amount of traffic on our roads and it seem I was not the only one with the same view. Guess what it has been announced on the news today we have the most congested roads in Europe. No **** Sherlock. Well I am of the ilk that Congested roads + poor driving skills = road rage. On a positive note am sure that building the much needed HS2 will help to reduce congestion in 20 years time, not.
