Some doctors say Road Rage is a medical disorder affecting 16 million American drivers. While I think a lot of drivers need counciling, I'm recommed someone like Dr. Laura who would tell them to take responsibility for their actions, avoid agressive, distracted, or other unsafe driving. In other words, let's not victimize road ragers.

Actually I should have answered that a few drivers may have a disorder. For the majority of road ragers, they have a lot more control over their actions than a bipolar disorder, etc. I don't like doctors saying as many as 16 million Americans are not responsible for their driving actions. If they are that helpless, they need their driver's license suspended until they successfully complete thearpy.

what i find interesting is that when your driving for money (getting paid for it) you tend to be safer and more relaxed because your time isn't really wasted. You just got to make sure the cargo gets there, unless there is a time limit or its about your own personal buisness.

I prefer to label it "bad behavior". It's funny how when there's a cop nearby that people suddenly find the ability to control violent outbursts.
