Anyone ever come across good articles on road rage ?

Anyone ?

Is this just something that is a problem in the states.. maybe a couple other countries because of competitiveness or high stress lives that have many on the go ?

Or is this just a problem with humans as a whole ?

We have all experienced it... People getting extremley pissed, and most of the time it is something very small. People getting mad about being "cut off" even though the person its like 3 car lengths ahead...

You have to get off the highway... or turn down a street. You increase speed while turning on your blinker to make a comfortable move over, but the person next to you decides to speed up with the mentality of " your not getting in front of me" even though it will affect him 0.

Could go on but you get the point... what is with this bs ?

I think it's just a general shift of our society toward a lack of civility and courtesy. It's a very egocentric and narcissistic view that we have, in general. Self-absorption, if you will, and how the only actions that matter in our minds is "How will this affect ME!"

It's a shame, really, as it's making the world into a really shitty place to hang out, sometimes.
