Really? So it's fine to be stuck behind some road pig who sits on
90kmh on the straights on a twisty  100kmh highway, slowing to 70 for
the slightest HINT of a bend, not allowing following traffic to pass
and building up a queue of irritated drivers behind? Get real! This
happens constsntly, and of COURSE the following drivers are going to
be pissed.

My road rage is generally restricted to swearing (to myself; the pig
can't hear me) and sometimes honking or flashinh headlights. BUT some
people are less in control, and this is where assaults are happening.
