On the Road of Rage

My Quora Answer to "Why do people behind you honk at you when you are turning left and waiting for a car to go by in the opposite lane?"


Because some people are addicted to anger. Vehicles become weapons for some, and road rage is a mental illness. Based on my own experiences, I found an inner calm about all aspects of my life, not just driving, when I deliberately decided not to engage in road rage at all. Someone cut you off? Perhaps they are trying to get to the hospital to see a loved one. Someone changed lanes while you were trying to pass? Maybe she was dealing with her child's temper tantrum and didn't see you.


The only thing I do not tolerate is tailgating since that person is not only putting you at risk but also themselves and any passengers. It is the only time I will engage in the passive-aggressive “road rage behavior” of slowing down.
