Some have, too many haven't. I don't believe that it's necessarily a matter of driving, it's a matter of driving while doing other things. Cell phone use is a HUGE culprit. In fact, there was an instance the other day where I was at a 4-way stop and a lady just blew the stop sign as I was starting out (after waiting my turn following 2 vehicles)...and she had a little girl in the care with her! Sure enough, she had a cell phone stuck to the side of her face....and a CHILD with her. I don't have any children of my own, but that doesn't mean I don't care for them. It is a sad situation when you have to wait two turns through a light opposed to one just because some egotistical chick in the car ahead of you is fluffing her hair or applying makeup (and not paying attention, of course). I, like many other women, wear makeup - but I apply and touch up in the appropriate places, while not moving in a vehicle. It doesn't matter what your makeup looks like if your brains are splattered all over the road due to a wreck. I can't say I have never seen someone read paperwork or a magazine while driving because I have, more than once - what the heck?!? Then some people don't even need an in-car distraction to inhibit their driving skills - they just naturally suck. There's the slow drivers in the passing lane, the swervers, the non-signalers...ugh! I could go on and on, but we just don't have that kind of time. I do feel a little better for ranting a bit, though. What it all boils down to is a blatant disregard for human life...stop multitasking (or attempting to) and pay attention to the road and what's happening around you. If my father (when teaching me to drive) hadn't instilled in me that you always have to watch out for the other guy, I would sure as hell be dead at the moment. ;)

Well, it's not just short people. A lot of people don't have a way to take out their aggressions and one way to do that is to drive aggressively and like a moronic fool.

Thats what society and tv have done to us. They make it seem as if we dont have this or that we can not live a normal life. If we dont look a certain way, if we dont drive a certain car we will never be accepted. I think the people who focus on those things are just ones that are trying to fit in to society's label. The people without all the flashy things are probably the ones who have more money than they know what to do with, the reason I say that is because they dont spend money on nonsense and trying to keep up with everything/everyone else.

Men can't take directions, because they don't want to admit they just can't figure out the way to go...usually because they're normally good at orientering...uh, except that time they get lost~ ha ha ha\n\nWomen CAN drive...seen NASCAR lately !!!\n\nI'm a  mature woman, and have only had 2 little bitty fender benders in my whole life, and have probably driven at least 400,000+ miles in TRAFFIC.  I'm a good driver because of ONE thing... I am careful to watch to see what that OTHER GUY is going to do!\nI've even had another driver go into my lane and it could have been a head-on, but I was able to get up on the side to get around the freak!\n\nSuggestion:  Men, look it up on Map Quest before you leave, and don't tell her you did that.\nWomen, pay attention to the other person, and don't be in such a hurry to get anywhere, life is short, but not that short!  Take your time!\n\nI WISH YOU LOVE\nSTW

i can relate! have you ever driven? i used to love to drive, it was the one thing i could never imagine giving up. then panic attacks and vertigo took over. its been over 3 years since i had a license. i'm taking little drives now on just the backroads at night and not far from the house, and not alone just in case i panic. i want to drive again. i didnt ask for this and i dont want it, but its going to be a long road back to feeling what other people call "normal". if you need someone to talk to i'm here.

The answerer at the top deserves a good whipping.  Not to mention, they are risking  both their employer, their insurance company, and themselves a whole lot of $$ if they did accidentaly hit someone.  What an idiot.\nI think its mumbo jumbo.  People get stuck in traffic after a hardf day at work (or on their way in to work, where they will get in trouble if they are late).  It just builds up and builds up  day after day until they explode.  But to call it a syndrome is just another way of passing the buck- its not MY fault that I got out and beat up the 80 year old driver in front of my for going 2 miles an hour under the speed limit officer, I have the road rage syndrome!  What crap

Why on earth would you want to be so ignorant and rude. Leave the driving to the drivers, make your journey a pleasure with all of the others, get everyone to join in singing, e g Its a long way to Tiperrary, or "the quarter master stars"  If you you really need to make contact with passing moterist then give them a really big grin or a friendly wave, you will find that you get a nice responce as it also chears up their journey.\nPlease remember the saying " Do unto others as you would have done unto you" \nIt makes life so very much nicer and fun.

It's the latest thing, give it a couple years and they'll find something else to complain about.  My husband smokes and drives a truck that gets 8 mpg on the highway, so I guess they are really offended by us, lol.

A  loud resounding AMEN, I am sick of hearing stories of people being be hounded by police for miniscule things. Most of them are poor and cant pay the unbelievable fines. Small towns are building their cities revenue by out of town speeders by posting rediculously low speed limits. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FEAR THEIR GOVERNMENT THE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR THE PEOPLE.!!!!!!!!!!   what can we do about it?????????

I live in White America, Southern region America, and they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO F%^$# DRIVE, to be at the very least!!!! Courteous to the other driver!!!  Everyone is in such a big rush to get wherever they need to go, with no regard to the other people on the road....I AM PREJIDUCE, AGAINST "STUPID" people, I don't care what they are, if they are a holes, they are a holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. Many people seem to forget that driving is a privilege NOT a right. If you are too old, too short, too young, too drunk, or too stupid you should NOT be allowed to drive. It is not offensive to question this as it is about the safety of the entire community.

if you are 20+years old and asking I think your out of luck..\n\nmost of the drivers drive on tracks BEFORE they can get a lisence to drive on the street. that kind of experiance is tough to overcome.\n\nstart on local dirt tract and hope your good!!

I do. Especially annoyed with bad drivers. Sometimes I even wish I was in an island all to myself. Of course, as long as it has internet, food and w*. I've always said, being nice and good to others is the hardest thing to do. Me, I just try. There's too much grief, hunger, war, and fighting in this world I sometimes forget how lucky I am to be here. Life is hard, and if you are not living, then you are dead.

He got what he deserved.  People are always only thinking about themselves and that they are the only ones on the road.  They don't realize how many people they put in danger with their driving. And then to have your own child in the car and still drive like an idiot, that's what you get.  As a parent, you are supposed to set the example for them to follow, he was certainly setting a great one.

Nobody has the 'right' to drive.  Driving privileges are limited in an attempt to keep the idiots from killing people.

Are You An Idiot. Start Reading. Peoples lives are at stake everyday out there on the road.\n45,000 people die each year in this country alone on the roads. Do you want to be one of them ?
