Re: Road rager on Beltway 8

Am I the only one who doesn't feel a need to get personally involved with the other people on the road? It's just always seemed to me that it's impersonal and just a matter of what options are and aren't available. If there's an opening I take it, if I'm blocked in, I'm blocked in until the setup changes. I don't get why this is so frustrationg to everyone else. :confused5

Granted, I generally do anywhere from 5 to 65 miles and hour over the limit when I can, but doing 45 in a 60 doesn't get me upset at the guy in front of me. I just keep my eyes open for a place to pass safely. And if my speeding upsets people, well, I don't have any tickets on my record and I've never been involved in an accident other than from the passenger seat, so meh. :biggrinjester:

There was this one time though back in high school where a guy sat at the front of a line of about 20 cars doing 40 in a 60. I finally managed to pass him (and the 5 or 7 cars between us) to make it to the front of the line. At this point I dropped it down to 20 miles and hour. Hehehehe. Of course when he tried to illegally pass me in a turning lane I jumped it up to 120 and took off. But I was thoroughly amused.
