Road Rage.....

When it's 4 degrees out and the roads are full of black slippery ice, wouldn't it be wise to take it slow when driving? Why do so many people have such road rage while driving.  If a person is going "to slow" in front of you why not just wait until you can easily pass the driver.  Most drivers will either beep the horn or drive on your tail until you move over.  Do you not find this to be rude and quite frankly annoying?  In all honesty when a driver does this to me, I either go slower or just completely ignore the person.

Drivers if you are always completely in a hurry why not leave earlier instead of attacking others on the road.  Of course, we all have those days when we get up late, forget to set the alarm or are just having a tough time getting moving.  However, if you are a person who does this each and every day, then maybe a different routine is needed.  Do drivers even see what their faces look like when they are in the mist of road rage.  It's so ugly, mean,disrespectful and quite frankly they look like idiots.

Today with a 2 hour school delay it seems with the more time we have this morning the harder it was for us to get moving.  I had one of those days when we were all rushing.  I even forgot to give the twins their lunch bags this morning.  I am already late for work and that's quite annoying that I now had to worry about driving back from the bus to grab their lunch bags to drive the bags to school.  In all honestly what can I do, that's a part of life and sometimes you will have days like this.  I still even being as late as I am and cold I took my time on the roads on the way to work.  Why did I take my time? Because my life as a driver and a mom is more important then rushing and getting into an accident.  I thought this post was fitting for today because I experienced a man behind me clearly pissed off I was driving off a off ramp at the speed limit.  He proceeded to drive his car way up my bumper and when I looked in the mirror he was shaking his head like he was having seizure or something.  I of course stayed calm.  Getting upset, angry or even trying to communicate with this driver would only put my life in danger.  Quite frankly he was not worth it nor is anyone acting this way.  So there I am my little self driving along to work on this ramp with a manic behind me, and all I did was simply drive as if nobody was behind me smiling all the way.  Of course, once we were off the ramp the manic quickly puts his blinker on and moves over.  I thought to myself, you see that was simple.  You wait and just move over when you can. 

Here is a picture of what the driver looked like behind me on that ramp:

Enjoy your day and stay safe from road rage drivers!  :)
