Hi Dave,
Exactly, there are a lot of drivers about that can make mistakes, do the
wrong thing, or are plain mad. If we all went about screaming at them it
wouldn't solve anything.
I just sit back and think they are idiots, but a lot of road rage in this
man's case could possibly be avoided. He needs to be calm, then learn to
read the road and conditions and try to predict things that might happen,
then adapt his driving style and speed to match - and most importantly be
polite. He sounds like a boy racer type, like the ones in the 1litre Novas
or Micras done up like a dogs dinner. A lot of them need a booster cushion
and seem to want to sit in the back and only use one arm. We know what they
do with the other one! All the excitement of reaching 30mph. The type that
come speeding up behind you, slam the brakes on and do it again all the way
down the road. What's even funnier is when you stick to 30 and pray they
will use the other lane to go past, but they never do. Or they speed off
down the road and slow to 20 on each bend.
I sat at a junction one day and was amazed to see a taxi that must have been
watching the lights for the other traffic to the side. As soon as a light
went to red he put his foot down and was hit by another car from the side.
He didn't understand that he should watch for green infront of him, he
didn't know what a filter light was for. I could see him creeping forward
and just knew what was going to happen so reversed a bit.
I am always amazed insurance companies don't insist on drivers taking a
sight test before insuring them. A relative of mine was passed as fit to
drive by a doctor when he had cataracts and could only see about 10ft
infront of him. He give his licence up thank God.
If you're in a car, just don't get all worked up!
