Road rage is getting out of control
Today while driving down Kiwanis near Madison by the fire station, I made the mistake of reaching down to grab something I dropped while sitting in the turning lane. The SUV behind me started laying on the horn repeatedly, and yes, I reacted badly and flipped them off — I shouldn’t have done that.
But what happened after was completely unacceptable. A grown woman followed me, screamed profanity at me, and tried to get me to get out of my car to fight. That behavior is embarrassing and dangerous. Road rage is out of control, and nobody should feel threatened over a traffic incident.
I’m not getting out of my car to fight anyone. I’ll call the police before I ever stoop to that level. People seriously need to learn how to control themselves and stop acting aggressively toward strangers.
