Road Rage: Don’t Be A Carrier!

Governor Christie signed a road rage bill called Jessica’s Law to ensure road rage incidents are prosecuted as third degree crimes.

In this world, there are drivers and there are morotists. Drivers make thing happen. They have places to go and people to see. They need to get where they are going as quickly as possible within the limits of the law.

“Motorists” on the other hand seem to be out for a nice drive, completely oblivious to all that is going on around them. They drive slow, usually in the left lane.

They’re on the phone, maybe texting, maybe hugging your right rear bumper so that you cannot get in front of them. Sometimes in a traffic jam, they’re the car in front of you that has about 10 car lengths of space in front of them that they don’t seem to care about.

Why should they? It isn’t like they have to get somewhere or anything. You do. When people get frustrated enough to road rage, I’m not sure that a law is going to make a difference. There are already laws if you injure someone or cause an injury while driving.

Better yet, if everybody pays attention to what they’re doing when they drive, you’ll have much less road rage to deal with.
